  • Work closely with Electrical, Mechanical, Firmware, and Software Engineering teams during the Design → Build → Test → Learn development cycle.
  • Evaluate designs early and provide Design for Test (DFT) recommendations that improve product quality and manufacturing efficiency.
  • Investigate failures using engineering judgment, identify root causes, and drive issues to closure using factual data.
  • Support EVT, DVT, PVT, manufacturing validation, environmental qualification, and production test activities.
  • Design efficient, scalable, and standardized test solutions that improve engineering productivity.
  • Recommend and implement improvements to test processes, tools, automation, and documentation.
  • Develop Python-based test automation to communicate with DUTs, control laboratory equipment, collect data, and generate reports.
  • Prepare complete engineering documentation, including test strategies, procedures, fixture BOMs, software documentation, and validation reports.
  • Support overseas contract manufacturers during product introduction and manufacturing.
  • Mentor junior engineers and share technical knowledge across the organization.
