Manufacturing Test Engineer

Stack

Responsibilities

• ▹Define the manufacturing test strategy for boards, trays, and system-level hardware assemblies across EVT, DVT, PVT, and production ramp
• ▹Develop test coverage: ICT/structural test, board-level functional test, tray-level functional/integration test, system-level manufacturing test
• ▹Partner with electrical engineering, system engineering, and diagnostic/software teams to define test requirements, scripts, and failure isolation needs
• ▹Translate engineering requirements into scalable manufacturing test plans; review and approve pass/fail criteria and release gates
• ▹Collaborate with system integrators, JDMs, contract manufacturers, and equipment vendors to qualify test stations, fixtures, and automation
• ▹Review manufacturing test results, logs, yield trends, and failure paretos to identify gaps and drive corrective actions
• ▹Lead debug of manufacturing test failures, working cross-functionally to determine root cause (design, process, fixture, software)
• ▹Drive continuous improvement of test processes: coverage expansion, cycle-time reduction, parallelization, station reliability, data quality
• ▹Ensure manufacturing test readiness for new product introduction, including specifications, validation plans, and correlation studies

Requirements

• ▹Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
• ▹5+ years of experience in manufacturing test engineering, product test, or NPI test development
• ▹Experience with ICT/structural, board-level functional, or system-level manufacturing test on servers and/or AI accelerators
• ▹Experience working with contract manufacturers, JDMs, system integrators, or test equipment vendors
• ▹Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with experience reviewing test and yield data

Nice to have

• ▹Experience with servers and AI accelerators plus networking, power, or data center hardware systems
• ▹Experience with manufacturing test automation, Python/Bash scripts, Linux-based diagnostics, data pipelines, CI/release controls
• ▹Experience supporting high-volume production ramps and factory bring-up in Asia or other global manufacturing environments
• ▹Knowledge of DFT (design-for-test) principles
• ▹Experience with failure analysis and root-cause investigations in a manufacturing environment
