Test Engineering Manager

The Test Manager is responsible for planning, implementing, and overseeing all testing activities to ensure product quality and compliance with industry standards. This role involves managing a team of test engineers, developing test strategies, and collaborating with design, production, and quality teams to deliver reliable electronic products What you'll own (mission) - Lead and scale the Test Engineering function for board & system-level production to ensure first-pass yield, reliability, and timely ramps to volume. - Deliver robust test strategies (ICT, AOI, X-Ray, functional, boundary-scan, system test), ATE infrastructure, and automation to meet product quality and throughput targets. - Be the primary technical contact for customers and cross-functional stakeholders on test readiness, failure analysis, and continuous improvement. - Build a Solid technical capability in team who thrives in upcoming 5G-6G telecommunication and AI enabled Networking products. Key Responsibilities Technical Leadership & Delivery - Define and implement test strategies (ICT, AOI, X-Ray, functional, boundary-scan, system test) and test coverage targets for new product introductions (NPI) and production. - Oversee development, validation, and deployment of test programs on ATE platforms, lead test fixture & handler design reviews. - Coordinate with suppliers and customers for test requirements. - Drive DFT best practices, test coverage analysis, and design-for-testability recommendations with product engineering. People & Operational Management - Lead a team of Test Engineers and Technicians (hiring, mentoring, performance management). - Set measurable KPIs (DPPM, first pass yield, cycle time, test coverage, mean time to detect/resolve failures) and report program readiness metrics to stakeholders. - Manage departmental budget for test equipment, spares, and tooling. NPI & Customer Engagement - Act as test point of contact during NPI and ramp phases: review test plans, participate in design reviews, and lead test validations. - Present test readiness and improvement plans to customers and internal leadership. - Collaborate with Quality and Production to analyze failure trends and implement corrective actions. Continuous Improvement & Safety - Drive lean test processes, automation of manual steps, and test data analytics to reduce cost and cycle-time. - Ensure compliance with safety, security, and site procedures. Success Metrics (what success looks like in 6 months) - Achieve targeted first pass yield and DPPM targets for assigned program(s). - Deploy validated ATE and test programs for at least one NPI to production readiness. - Reduce average test cycle and demonstrate measurable cost/scrap reduction. - Build and certify a cross-functional team capable of leading sustained volume production. - Meet or exceed Customer Delivery dates with on time execution of test strategy and project management . Required (Must-have) - Bachelor's degree in electrical / Electronics / Mechatronics or Mechanical Engineering. - 15+ years of test engineering experience in EMS/semiconductor/board manufacturing; minimum 3 years in a managerial or lead role. - Hands-on experience with ATE platforms, test program development, fixture/harness design, and DFT practices. - Strong experience with failure analysis and test data analytics. - Excellent stakeholder and customer-facing communication skills. - Ability to work on-site in Pune with flexibility to support multi-site operations; up to 10-20% travel (supplier/customer visits). Preferred (Nice-to-have) - Experience with TRI, Key Sight, Teradyne, Advantest, Test Stand, LabVIEW, or Python-based test automation. - Exposure to high-volume server / datacenter or GPU-level test programs. - Experience in cost reduction programs, lean manufacturing, and reliability test programs. - Master's degree or relevant certification in test engineering. - Why Jabil - Certified as "Great Place to Work" & "Best Workplace -In Electronics". - We Follow Open Communication and Encourage our employees to be part of our growth. - We offer fast career growth, global program exposure, latest and greatest technology exposure, huge learning opportunity and empowerment to "Make Difference". - Employee Connect-Collaborate-Celebrate work environment. - Performance and appreciation Rewards. - Education Assistance Programs. - Multiple Employee supporting Policies covering medical assistance.
