The Test Manager is responsible for planning, implementing, and overseeing all testing activities to ensure product quality and compliance with industry standards. This role involves managing a team of test engineers, developing test strategies, and collaborating with design, production, and quality teams to deliver reliable electronic products
What you'll own (mission)
- Lead and scale the Test Engineering function for board & system-level production to ensure first-pass yield, reliability, and timely ramps to volume.
- Deliver robust test strategies (ICT, AOI, X-Ray, functional, boundary-scan, system test), ATE infrastructure, and automation to meet product quality and throughput targets.
- Be the primary technical contact for customers and cross-functional stakeholders on test readiness, failure analysis, and continuous improvement.
- Build a Solid technical capability in team who thrives in upcoming 5G-6G telecommunication and AI enabled Networking products.
Key Responsibilities
Technical Leadership & Delivery
- Define and implement test strategies (ICT, AOI, X-Ray, functional, boundary-scan, system test) and test coverage targets for new product introductions (NPI) and production.
- Oversee development, validation, and deployment of test programs on ATE platforms, lead test fixture & handler design reviews.
- Coordinate with suppliers and customers for test requirements.
- Drive DFT best practices, test coverage analysis, and design-for-testability recommendations with product engineering.
People & Operational Management
- Lead a team of Test Engineers and Technicians (hiring, mentoring, performance management).
- Set measurable KPIs (DPPM, first pass yield, cycle time, test coverage, mean time to detect/resolve failures) and report program readiness metrics to stakeholders.
- Manage departmental budget for test equipment, spares, and tooling.
NPI & Customer Engagement
- Act as test point of contact during NPI and ramp phases: review test plans, participate in design reviews, and lead test validations.
- Present test readiness and improvement plans to customers and internal leadership.
- Collaborate with Quality and Production to analyze failure trends and implement corrective actions.
Continuous Improvement & Safety
- Drive lean test processes, automation of manual steps, and test data analytics to reduce cost and cycle-time.
- Ensure compliance with safety, security, and site procedures.
Success Metrics (what success looks like in 6 months)
- Achieve targeted first pass yield and DPPM targets for assigned program(s).
- Deploy validated ATE and test programs for at least one NPI to production readiness.
- Reduce average test cycle and demonstrate measurable cost/scrap reduction.
- Build and certify a cross-functional team capable of leading sustained volume production.
- Meet or exceed Customer Delivery dates with on time execution of test strategy and project management .
