Design for Testability (DFT)
Drive early and ongoing manufacturing involvement to ensure products are designed for robust, scalable, and cost-effective testing.
Partner with Hardware, Systems, and Product teams to define test requirements aligned to product specifications and quality targets
Incorporate DFMEA / PFMEA, Engineering Specifications, and test coverage analysis into product design
Own test engineering across all phases: POC/Proto/EVT/DVT/PVT, ramp, and mass production
Provide hands-on production support for complex test issues, yield excursions, and systemic failures
Lead test readiness reviews and production gate decisions with Operations and CM partners
Architect, design, and deploy manufacturing test stations and processes
Develop and maintain test software and automation in Python, C, C++, Rust including:
Instrument control
Data acquisition and logging
Test sequencing and error handling
Factory dashboards and analytics hooks
Drive modular, scalable, and maintainable test software frameworks suitable for high-volume manufacturing
Apply statistical tools such as GR&R, SPC, Cp/Cpk, correlation analysis, and DOE
Ensure test processes and fixtures meet capability, repeatability, and scalability requirements
Analyze production data to identify trends, root causes, and improvement opportunities
Lead failure analysis efforts across test stations, products, and manufacturing processes
Close test gaps and correlation issues across internal labs and external factories
Improve product quality, yield, and cost through systematic test optimization
Act as the primary technical interface to Contract Manufacturers and test equipment vendors
Drive CM test development, qualification, deployment, and sustaining
Lead issue resolution related to tester hardware, software, fixtures, and factory execution
Provide technical direction, training, and mentorship to CM teams and automation suppliers
Collaborate closely with Hardware, Firmware, Quality, Operations, Supply Chain, and Program teams
Prepare and present clear, concise test engineering status updates to leadership and executive stakeholders
Influence decisions through data, technical depth, and operational insight
