Senior Manager, Test Manufacturing Engineering
3+ years of experience in hardware test development, manufacturing test software execution, or diagnostic code engineering
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or closely related field
The Test Development Engineer is responsible for architecting, coding, and deploying advanced hardware and software test solutions across all manufacturing stages of high-performance compute infrastructure
DFT Optimization: Analyze circuit schematics and layout files to ensure adequate physical test point allocation, maximizing structural test access metrics before design release
Silicon Diagnostic Hookup: Collaborate with tier-1 chip vendors (e.g., Nvidia, Broadcom, Marvell) to implement and exercise built-in self-test (BIST), custom firmware loops, and JTAG boundaries
Automated Software Architecture: Develop, debug, and maintain scalable automated test code scripts using Python, C/C++, or LabVIEW to control instruments and extract diagnostics
Fixture & Interface Design: Specify, debug, and qualify hardware test interfaces, bed-of-nails fixtures, loopback cards, and switching matrices for ICT, FCT, and System-Level Test (SLT)
Coverage Metric Validation: Map and maintain comprehensive test coverage matrices, linking structural diagnostic coverage to systemic product escape mitigations
Production Tuning & Analytics: Yield & GR&R; Optimization: Perform Gauge R&R; studies, stability analysis, and statistical limit tuning (SPC) to eradicate false-failures and optimize overall test sequence cycle times
Debug & Failure Analytics: Provide rapid deep-dive diagnostic support for initial prototype failures, cross-referencing diagnostic log outputs with SMT and box build history to identify systemic defects
Knowledge/Skills/Competencies: Software Fluency: Strong proficiency coding in Python, C/C++, Linux shell scripting, or LabVIEW within test automation environments
Knowledge/ Skills/Competencies: Hardware Fluency: Expertise operating oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, high-speed BERTs, and boundary scan tools (e.g., JTAG Provision, Corelis). Deep understanding of ICT/FCT/SLT platforms
Physical Demands: Duties of this position are performed in a manufacturing environment with frequent exposure to elements such as noise, dust, chemicals, operating machinery, temperature extremes, etc.
Duties of this position require periodic light physical effort and exertion including prolonged repetitive motion, standing, sitting in a confined work space, climbing, using equipment, handling lightweight materials, etc.
Duties of this position require periodic heavy manual effort and considerable exertion including lifting objects over 20 pounds, requiring straining, pulling and lifting.
Duties may require periodic sustained visual concentration on a computer monitor or on numbers and other detailed data.
May require occasional travel.
Educational requirements may vary by geography.
