About The Position

We are seeking a skilled PCBA & RF Manufacturing Test Engineer to lead and drive end-to-end test engineering activities. This role involves ensuring the quality of delivery from vendor engineering teams, owning the test fixture lifecycle, and guaranteeing the reliability of test systems and fixtures in production. The ideal candidate will define and enforce test strategies, methodologies, and paradigms across programs, acting as the first line of defense for issue triaging, failure debugging, and first-pass failure analysis. This position requires strong collaboration with design, manufacturing, vendors, and customers to reduce engineering cycle time and serve as the Single Point of Contact (SPOC) for test-related issues.

Requirements

Proven experience in architecting, building, and deploying scalable test systems and fixture solutions for high-volume manufacturing.
Strong knowledge of manufacturing test flows including IQC, electrical validation, visual inspection, and end-of-line testing.
Expertise in defining test strategies, coverage models, and validation frameworks for complex products.
Advanced failure analysis (FA), triaging, and root cause analysis across electrical, RF, and system-level issues.
Experience with NPI cycles, including test readiness, commissioning, and ramp-to-production optimization.
Strong understanding of manufacturability, calibration processes, and Gauge R&R for production reliability.
Expertise in yield analysis, marginal pass/fail criteria definition, and test limit optimization.
Exposures to test automation and scripting (Python, LabVIEW, or equivalent frameworks).
Experience integrating hardware test systems with existing software frameworks.
System engineering mindset with deep exposure to fixture design (mechanical + electrical integration).
Hands-on experience with RF test equipment: spectrum analyzers, VNAs, signal generators, power meters, and RF chambers.
