About the role
- Be a technical driver for NPI test and manufacturing readiness across platforms and instrumentation (Digital/Analog/RF/DC)
- Architect automation, data/AI systems, and cross-site standards that lift quality, throughput, and time-to-detect
- Own complex test development from concept to release: DfT, acceptance criteria, instrumentation strategy, calibration, and qualification; lead integration/bring-up across module/system
- Build data + AI into the process: design robust data capture (structured logs/metadata), dashboards, and first-line ML models (e.g., anomaly/fault pattern detection) to improve yield/quality and accelerate FA
- Pilot LLM-assisted tools (search over specs/test logs, guided triage, autogenerated test steps) and create adoption guidelines/guardrails
- Set and enforce standards for fixtures, SW templates, code quality, and documentation; mentor junior engineers
- Collaborate closely with Project Technical Leads to align technical strategies, resolve cross-functional challenges, and ensure project milestones are met
- Lead cross-functional execution with Design, SW/HW, Pilot, Operations, Supplier Quality, and Program Management; present readiness/risks at gates
Requirements

- 8+ years in Process/Test/NPI (ATE or adjacent)
- Strong track record delivering test processes into Pilot/HVM
- Deep hands-on with instrumentation (oscilloscopes/DMMs)
- Strong automation and data skills a plus (Python/Perl; C#/VB.NET; SQL; SPC/CPK; yield analytics)
- Demonstrated leadership: drives cross-functional closure on FA/RCCA, risk burn-down, and transfer to HVM
- Experience collaborating with Project Technical Leads or similar technical leadership roles
- Ability to travel domestically/internationally as needed (10–20%)
