Power Manufacturing Test Development Engineer

The role

This person will develop, implement, and optimize automated manufacturing test solutions for advanced AI computing hardware. They will design test fixtures, qualify processes, and drive production test coverage, yield, throughput, and reliability.

What you will do

• Develop and maintain automated test systems for advanced computing hardware.
• Design manufacturing test strategies covering board-level functional testing, system integration, hardware diagnostics, and final system acceptance.
• Develop test procedures, test specifications, test fixtures, and supporting documentation.
• Define test coverage requirements, acceptance criteria, and pass/fail limits.
• Evaluate and implement test methodologies, instrumentation, and automation frameworks.
• Integrate test equipment, programmable power supplies, electronic loads, oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, and communication interfaces.
• Support NPI builds, pilot production, manufacturing qualification, and high-volume production ramp.
• Troubleshoot manufacturing test failures and collaborate with cross-functional teams.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives for test cycle time, station utilization, and manufacturing cost.
• Verify that manufacturing test solutions are repeatable and maintainable.

Required qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
• 5+ years (10 years is ideal) of experience in manufacturing test development, hardware validation, test automation, or production engineering.
• Proficiency in Python for test automation, hardware control, data processing, and diagnostic development.
• Hands-on experience testing electronic assemblies, computer systems, embedded hardware, or complex electromechanical products.
• Experience integrating automated test software with laboratory or manufacturing test equipment.
• Strong understanding of digital electronics, power electronics fundamentals, communication interfaces, and hardware bring-up.
• Experience with contract manufacturers and outsourced manufacturing operations.

Nice to have

• Experience with automated manufacturing test frameworks, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and production test station development.
• Familiarity with statistical process control (SPC), failure analysis, root-cause methodologies, and corrective action processes.
• Experience with SQL, dashboards, data visualization, or other tools for manufacturing test data analysis.
• Knowledge of design for testability, design for manufacturability, and manufacturing process qualification.
