About The Position

The Quality Test Engineer supports the quality, reliability, and performance of electrical and electronic products throughout the manufacturing lifecycle. The role provides technical support to Production, Engineering, and Quality through failure investigations, test-method development, manufacturing process improvement, and corrective actions that improve product reliability and customer satisfaction. It requires strong troubleshooting skills and a disciplined quality engineering approach in an electrical/electronics manufacturing environment. The engineer investigates product failures from manufacturing, field returns, warranty claims, and customer complaints; develops and improves electrical and functional test procedures; supports production test stations; and analyzes electronic assemblies for failure modes and improvement opportunities. The role also supports production readiness and validation for new products, manufacturing and supplier quality investigations, data analysis, the ISO 9001 Quality Management System, and calibration and metrology activities. Success is measured by reducing warranty and field failures, improving production quality and First Pass Yield, increasing test effectiveness, delivering timely corrective actions, supporting resolution of technical issues, maintaining ISO 9001 compliance, and improving product reliability and manufacturing performance.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality Engineering, or a related technical field.
At least 5 years of experience in electrical/electronics manufacturing.
Strong troubleshooting experience with electrical and electronic assemblies.
Experience supporting manufacturing test systems and production environments.
Demonstrated experience performing failure analysis and product investigations.
Experience leading root cause analysis using 8D, 5 Why, and Fishbone (Ishikawa) methods.
Experience implementing Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA).
Experience with ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems.
Working knowledge of calibration and metrology principles.
Strong technical writing skills and experience creating test procedures, engineering reports, failure analysis reports, and work instructions.
Ability to interpret electrical schematics and engineering drawings.
Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
