Manufacturing Test Engineer

Job Overview

• The Manufacturing Test Engineer (MTE) develops test solutions deploys test systems to contract manufacturers (CM) and ensures product quality through robust manufacturing test processes.
• As a MTE you will design develop deploy and support manufacturing test solutions for Customers consumer electronics devices at CM sites. You will work at the intersection of hardware software and manufacturing ensuring devices meet quality standards before shipping to end-users.

Job Description

• Design develop and deploy manufacturing test systems (hardware fixtures test software) for consumer electronics devices.
• Develop test automation software in Python C/C LabVIEW or other languages for functional testing (audio display sensors cameras etc.)
• Create and maintain test sequences test plans and test specifications aligned with product requirements.
• Deploy and support test systems at CM factory sites; troubleshoot production line issues.
• Analyze test data to identify yield issues optimize test coverage and reduce No Trouble Found (NTF) rates.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Design Engineering Quality Operations CM partners) to resolve manufacturing test challenges.
• Develop and maintain data pipelines for real-time manufacturing data collection and analytics.
• Drive continuous improvement of test processes: improve First Pass Yield (FPY) reduce cycle time and optimize Unit Per Hour (UPH).
• Support NPI (New Product Introduction) builds from HVT through PVT.
• Manage test equipment vendors and develop fixture specifications.
