With this vision were designing a new kind of computer focused on making voice companions part of our daily lives. Our team brings together founders from Oculus and Ubiquity6 alongside proven leaders from Meta Google and Apple with deep expertise spanning hardware and software. Join us in shaping a future where computers truly come alive.
About the Role
As a Manufacturing Test Engineer you will be the technical expert responsible for developing implementing and optimizing manufacturing test solutions for our next-generation wearable devices. You will play a critical role in the entire product lifecycle from initial design reviews to mass production ensuring that every product leaving our manufacturing lines meets our rigorous quality and performance specifications. This role requires a blend of deep technical expertise strategic thinking and the ability to work effectively with large-scale contract manufacturers (CMs) and product development engineering across the globe.
Responsibilities:
Test Strategy & Development: Architect and implement comprehensive manufacturing test strategies for new product introductions (NPIs) covering functional parametric and in-circuit testing for complex wearable devices.
Test Fixture & Equipment Design: Design develop and qualify test fixtures equipment and software for various stages of the manufacturing process from PCBA-level tests to final product assembly.
Specialized Testing: Develop and optimize test solutions for specialized functions critical to our products including:
Audio Testing: Acoustic test methodologies for speakers microphones and other audio components.
Camera & Imaging Testing: Calibration and functional tests for high-resolution cameras and optical systems.
RF & Wireless: Testing for wireless connectivity including Bluetooth Wi-Fi and other RF protocols.
Sensors: Calibration and functional testing for various sensors (accelerometers gyroscopes biometric sensors).
Data Analysis & Optimization: Utilize data analysis tools to automatically monitor test yields identify trends root cause failures and flag production issues. Proactively drive continuous improvement to optimize test coverage cycle time and overall manufacturing efficiency.
Collaboration with Contract Manufacturers (CMs): Act as the primary technical interface with our large-scale contract manufacturing partners. Train and support CM teams on test processes troubleshoot issues on the factory floor and ensure strict adherence to our specifications.
Design for Testability (DFT): Partner with the product design and engineering teams during the development phase to influence product architecture and design for enhanced testability manufacturability and reliability.
Documentation: Create and maintain detailed test specifications process instructions and engineering change notices (ECNs) to ensure clear communication and consistency across all manufacturing sites.
Project Leadership: Lead and mentor junior engineers providing technical guidance and expertise on complex test challenges. Manage third-party resources as required.
Required Qualifications:
Deep expertise in developing test solutions for consumer electronics including PCBA FATP (Final Assembly Test and Pack) and system-level testing.
