Make a difference as a Test Manager

As a Test Manager at Krypton Solutions, you will be responsible for leading all test lab operations. Your specific responsibilities will be:

Lab Leadership & Team Development

• Lead, schedule, and develop a team of test technicians and test engineers across shifts, setting clear priorities, performance expectations, and development plans.
• Maintain schedule of product due dates and assign work to team to ensure deadlines are met.
• Own lab staffing and headcount planning, including hiring, cross-training, coaching, and performance management.
• Build a lab culture of safety, ESD discipline, accurate documentation, and continuous improvement.

Test Strategy

• Define the test strategy for new products, selecting the right mix of in-circuit, flying probe, and functional test to balance coverage, cycle time, and cost.
• Review customer designs for testability (DFT), recommend test point and access improvements, and report expected test coverage before production launch.
• Oversee development, debug, and release of test programs and fixtures, whether built in-house or sourced through outside fixture vendors.
• Serve as a primary technical contact for customers on test requirements, test procedures, and coverage reports.

Test Operations, Yield & Failure Analysis

• Ensure test capacity keeps pace with the production schedule and resolve bottlenecks that put customer shipments at risk.
• Track and report first-pass yield, retest rates, false failures, and throughput, and drive measurable improvement through data-driven root cause analysis.
• Lead failure analysis on test failures, returns (RMAs), and customer complaints, and present findings and corrective actions to customers and internal leadership.
• Partner with Quality, Process Engineering, and Production to feed test data back into the assembly process and prevent defects at the source.

Compliance

• Maintain test equipment and fixtures through preventive maintenance and calibration programs, keeping equipment records audit-ready.
• Ensure test procedures, records, and work instructions meet customer requirements, IPC workmanship standards, ESD control requirements, and our quality management system.
• Represent the test lab during customer audits, quality system audits, and customer source inspections.

What We're Looking For In A Test Manager

To thrive as a Test Manager at Krypton Solutions, attention to detail is critical, as you will be responsible for ensuring that products leaving the company are manufactured to the highest standards and are functioning to customer expectations. Ideally, candidates will have:

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a related field; an equivalent combination of education and experience will be considered.
• 7+ years of electronics test experience in an EMS, PCB assembly, or electronics manufacturing environment, including at least 3 years leading test technicians and/or test engineers.
• Hands-on experience developing and debugging in-circuit test (ICT) and flying probe programs on platforms such as Keysight i3070, Teradyne TestStation, Takaya, SPEA, or Seica.
• Experience developing functional test solutions using tools such as NI LabVIEW, TestStand, Python, or C#.
• Strong board-level troubleshooting skills, with fluency in oscilloscopes, DMMs, power supplies, logic analyzers, schematics, and BOMs.
• A demonstrated record of improving first-pass yield, test coverage, or throughput, with measurable results you can speak to.
• Working knowledge of IPC-A-610, J-STD-001, ANSI/ESD S20.20, and ISO 9001 quality systems.
• Structured root cause and corrective action experience (8D, 5 Whys, fishbone, Pareto, SPC).
• Strong customer-facing communication skills, including presenting test strategy, yield data, and failure analysis findings to customers and auditors.
• Ability to support multiple shifts and respond to urgent production or customer issues outside normal hours when needed.
• Experience supporting regulated markets such as aerospace and defense (AS9100) is a plus.
• Lean or Six Sigma certification (Green Belt or higher) is a plus.
