Desirable

• The Senior Manufacturing Test Engineer is responsible for developing, implementing, and sustaining test processes and equipment used in the manufacturing of hardware products
• This role ensures that products meet quality, reliability, and performance standards through robust test strategies, automation, and continuous improvement
• The engineer acts as a bridge between design engineering, manufacturing operations, and quality assurance, supporting new product introductions (NPI) through to mass production and sustaining phases
• This is a great opportunity to be part of one of the fastest-growing AI infrastructure companies in history, an organization that is in the center of the hurricane being created by the revolution in artificial intelligence
• Design, develop, and implement test plans, test fixtures and infrastructure
• Collaborate with R&D to define test requirements early in the product lifecycle
• Develop test scripts and automation software (Python, LabVIEW, C#, etc.) to improve coverage and efficiency
• Validate test coverage, yield, and reliability through statistical analysis (GR&R, Cpk, SPC)
• Support EVT, DVT, and PVT phases with test readiness and execution
• Lead test process transfer to contract manufacturers (CMs) or ODM partners
• Train CM engineers/technicians on test systems and procedures
• Ensure compliance with safety, regulatory, and customer requirements
• Monitor production test yields, debug failures, and drive root cause analysis (RCA)
• Implement corrective actions and continuous improvements to reduce test time, cost, and false failures
• Maintain and calibrate test equipment and fixtures
• Support ECO (Engineering Change Orders) by updating test plans and equipment accordingly
• Develop processes and test strategies that enable ongoing improvement
• Optimize test designs to encourage continuous learning and enhancement
• Developed and maintained automated test infrastructure to support scalable testing
• Provided detailed test specifications and contributed to structured code review processes
• Work closely with hardware, firmware, and reliability engineers to improve product testability and robustness
• Partner with Quality and Operations to ensure smooth scaling into mass production
• Engage with suppliers and CM partners on test strategy alignment
