Responsibilities
As a Manufacturing Test Engineer, you will define mfg test methodologies to support the verification of product functionalities following the assembly process of PCBAs (Printed Circuit Board Assembly), storage enclosures, and racked assemblies within the ODM (Original Design Manufacturing) & System Integrators & Contract Manufacturer sites. Ownership may span across both NPI (new product introduction) and sustaining phases. Regular may include:
Leads the development of test hardware and software/firmware to support the verification of product functionality.
Responsible for the MTE (Manufacturing Test Engineering) end-to-end development and delivery of thermal and/or mechanical test solutions for the GPU ( Graphics Processing Unit), CPU (Central Processing Unit), and associated platforms/Racks.
Lead, develop, and design manufacturing test in new liquid cooling products. Collaborate across the disciplines of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, process engineering, as well as production and offering teams.
Responsible for Test architecture and development for advanced liquid cooling technologies, including macro and micro trends, including but not limited to subcomponent and sub system development trends on thermal transfer fluids (Air, liquid) and their interactions with other components within the system/solution. Mechanical components (pumps, manifolds, piping, connectors, controllers)
Analyze and optimize thermal solutions for densely packaged consumer electronic products.
Leads the development and validation of test strategy, product design and methodologies.
Leads the development and maintenance of core product-test content and requirements, monitoring of weekly production yield data for test and product issues, test development to catch manufacturing defects and ensures reusability of existing tests.
Leverages resources and exerts influence to achieve high level manufacturing test engineering product goals.
Drives improvement of effectiveness and efficiency by leveraging information gathered from process/test-system to identify and remove non-value elements from products. · Defines key performance indicators (KPIs), determines how to evaluate metrics, and translates decisions into business value (e.g., return on investment [ROI]).
Oversee implementation of set target/test cases, rationalizes cost of targets and maps targets to customer impact.
Works across teams to ensure that verification process is stable enough that there is enough time in the schedule to fully complete verification.
Ensures that each program/product has documentation specifying what needs to be tested and covered at all product stages.
