  • Collaborating with product design teams (Hardware, Software, and Development Test) to ensure seamless integration.
  • Developing automated manufacturing test scripts and implementing test automation for efficiency.
  • Conducting failure root cause analysis to improve product reliability and quality.
  • Supporting proto builds and mass production at remote manufacturing sites.
  • Managing test capacity, equipment, and budgets to meet business objectives.
  • Developing and deploying board and system-level functional tests for complex electronic systems.
  • Using tools such as Traffic Test Analyzers (Spirent/IXIA) to test Ethernet Interfaces (10G/100G/200G/400G/800G).
  • Planning and delivering test processes on schedule while ensuring the highest standards of quality.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Electronics & Communication Engineering or equivalent.
  • 8+ years of relevant experience in product test and validation.
  • Strong knowledge of Ethernet technologies (10G/100G/200G/400G/800G) and hardware protocols (e.g., I2C, SPI, PCI, PCIe).
  • Expertise in Manufacturing Test Solutions, including Test Fixture Development, ICT, and BSCAN.
  • Solid understanding of hardware and system testing with skills in component-level debugging and fault isolation.
  • Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python for test automation.
  • Experience in Design for Testability (DFT) for both structural and functional testing.
  • Knowledge of network routers and switches (preferred).
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Knowledge of product hardware development processes, from concept to End of Life (EOL).
  • Proven ability to develop test solutions for hardware validation and manufacturing.
  • Familiarity with test equipment and traffic analyzers for Ethernet interface testing.
  • Ability to lead debugging processes for remote test engineers.

Who You Are

  • A self-driven team player who collaborates effectively.
  • A continuous learner, adaptable to new challenges and technologies.
  • Flexible to work across various time zones to meet business needs.

Who You'll Work With

You will work closely with cross-functional teams including product design engineering (Hardware and Software), supply chain teams, and manufacturing operations teams to define and implement manufacturing tests that meet the highest quality and efficiency standards.
