• Specifying, selecting, and integrating test equipment, instrumentation, and automation systems,
• Developing and validating test procedures, fixtures, and hardware setups for production environments,
• Troubleshooting and resolving test failures to ensure minimal impact on production throughput,
• Leading the deployment and commissioning of test systems in manufacturing facilities,
• Optimizing test cycle times, reliability, and repeatability of test systems,
• Analyzing test data to identify trends, yield issues, and opportunities for improvement,
• Driving continuous improvement initiatives focused on test efficiency, coverage, and robustness,
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams, including industrial/manufacturing engineering, quality, and operations, to align test solutions with production goals.
