We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.

Responsibilities

• Drive comprehensive Design for Test (DFT) reviews to verify PCBA accessibility and manufacturability. Architect and implement global manufacturing structural test strategies for New Product Introduction (NPI), ensuring Contract Manufacturing/Original Design Manufacturing (CM/ODM) solutions align with stringent product requirements.
• Lead the end-to-end development and deployment of structural test platforms, including In-Circuit Testing (ICT), flying probe, and boundary scan, across partner manufacturing sites.
• Audit fixture qualifications using gauge repeatability and reproducibility and strain gauge analysis. Evaluate test plan stability and coverage to eliminate "false fails" and meet organizational quality benchmarks.
• Provide technical expertise throughout the product lifecycle. Drive test capacity readiness, support NPI builds, and perform deep-dive root cause analysis for manufacturing yield excursions and field escapes.
