• Coordinate test release schedules across assembly and test (A/T) sites, ensuring on-time delivery.
• Define and manage test time budgets, maintaining balance between cost and performance.
• Validate solution stability through GRR and TCS analysis, with clear documentation.
• Drive strategies for BU with TTS team for product ramps and enable PPITs for the same

Quality & Reliability Ownership

• Drive customer-return issues to closure, ensuring root cause and corrective actions are fully executed.
• Lead MOS/SOS quality releases and test coverage improvements.
• Collaborate with the CQE and applications teams to develop TCI solutions and address customer feedback.

Cost Optimization & Production Efficiency

• Analyze and propose test cost reduction strategies to improve cost of goods sold (COGS).
• Lead test ramp readiness reviews and update PLM/BU leadership
• Own Spitfire cost-saving updates and ensure consistent reporting.
• Work cross functionally to enable fab, Assy and Test offloads

Qualification & Reliability Testing

• Define qualification plans jointly with QREs including EQDB submissions.
• Develop and support reliability hardware and test vectors (BI/HTOL testing).
• Manage lab coordination, pre-/post-reliability testing, and qualification tracking.

Manufacturing & Flow Setup

• Partner with packaging and production teams to ensure optimal assembly and test efficiency.
• Execute ATSS setups (ARC, MB generation, CDDS loading, etc.), working closely with A/T sites.
• Manage material movement and planning to maintain aggressive cycle times and throughput.

Data Analysis & Yield Optimization

• Analyze characterization, probe, and final test data using Spotfire and Mbayse tools.
• Leverage test data to identify marginalities, drive corrective actions, and improve yield.
• Guide decisions using datasheets, legacy programs, and Starfish references as golden sources.

What You Bring

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or related field.
• 4+ years of hands-on ATE experience, preferably on ETS-364.
• Strong proficiency in test development, debug, and data-driven problem solving.
• Proven ability to interface across cross-functional teams (Test, Design/Systems, Quality, Manufacturing, and Product).
• Excellent verbal & written communication skills

Preferred Skills

• Experience on multiple ATE platforms including ETS-88 and ETS-800.
• Familiarity with Eagle platform debug and power-device characterization.
• Bench testing and failure analysis experience is a plus.
• In-depth understanding of TI systems (SWR, ATSS, Lab Management tools).
• Strong command over data visualization tools — Spotfire, Mbayse, or equivalent.
• Excellent communication, scheduling, and multi-tasking skills.

Why Join Us

• Make an Impact: Own end-to-end test strategy for critical high-voltage power products.
• Visibility & Growth: Regular interaction with PLM and BU leaders ensures strong career visibility.
• Career Advancement: High-performing engineers can quickly progress into a Sustaining Manager role.
• Technical Challenge: Work on cutting-edge power devices and complex ATE and bench systems.
• Global Exposure: Collaborate with international A/T sites, CQE teams, and customers.

Additional Information

• Travel: Occasional travel to A/T sites and customer locations as needed.
