The manager provides technical leadership, manages engineering resources, establishes test strategies, and collaborates with cross-functional teams to support robust test coverage, manufacturing readiness, and consistent product quality. The role requires strong PCBA testing expertise, engineering team management experience, and a track record of improving test efficiency and manufacturing yields.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
- 8+ years of experience in test engineering, preferably within an EMS, PCBA, or electronics manufacturing environment.
- 3+ years of experience leading or managing engineering teams.
- Strong expertise in PCBA Functional Testing, In-Circuit Testing (ICT), and Flying Probe Testing.
- Demonstrated experience overseeing test program development, test fixture design, test validation, and test process implementation.
- Strong understanding of electronic circuits, PCBA design, component-level troubleshooting, and manufacturing test methodologies.
- Experience supporting NPI, production ramp-up, yield improvement, and high-volume manufacturing.
- Ability to lead technical projects, develop engineering talent, and manage competing priorities.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
Responsibilities
- Lead, mentor, and develop Test Engineers, setting technical priorities, project timelines, and performance expectations.
- Define test engineering strategies, standards, and best practices across manufacturing programs.
- Manage engineering resources and project deliverables to support production requirements and customer commitments.
- Oversee the development, implementation, validation, and maintenance of PCBA testing solutions, including Functional Test, ICT, and Flying Probe Test.
- Guide the development and optimization of test programs, fixtures, procedures, and methodologies.
- Ensure test solutions provide adequate coverage of product requirements and manufacturing quality expectations.
- Evaluate test equipment, platforms, and technologies to improve test capability and production performance.
- Partner with NPI, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, Design Engineering, and Program Management to establish test requirements and ensure production readiness.
- Oversee test strategy development during new product introduction, engineering builds, and production ramp-up.
- Lead engineering-level troubleshooting of complex test failures, yield issues, and recurring manufacturing defects.
- Drive root-cause analysis and corrective actions to improve test reliability and manufacturing performance.
- Improve first-pass yield, test coverage, test cycle time, false failure rates, and retest rates.
- Analyze test data and manufacturing trends to identify process improvement opportunities.
- Ensure test processes align with customer specifications, quality requirements, and applicable industry standards.
- Standardize test engineering documentation, validation procedures, and troubleshooting practices.
- Collaborate with internal stakeholders and customers to resolve technical issues and align test requirements with product specifications.
- Coordinate test engineering priorities with production schedules, NPI milestones, and customer deliverables.
