11 Senior Manager, Test Manufacturing Engineering

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. This role focuses on maximizing fault coverage and yield throughput by designing customized functional test (FCT) code configuring automated test equipment (ATE) fixtures integrating high-speed JTAG/Boundary Scan diagnostics and working with tier-1 silicon architects to execute comprehensive test validation routines.

1. Design for Testability (DFT) & Proactive Planning

• 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.

2. Test Hardware & Software Solution Development

• 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.

3. 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.

#HPS-NA

• Software Fluency: Strong proficiency coding in Python C/C Linux shell scripting or LabVIEW within test automation environments.

• 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.

• 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.
