Sr Test Engineer

The Senior Test Engineer – NPI is responsible for designing, developing, and deploying production test solutions for new electronic products from prototype through mass production. This role plays a critical part in ensuring product quality, test coverage, yield performance, and manufacturing readiness during new product launches.

The ideal candidate has deep hands-on experience with electronics testing, strong problem-solving skills, and the ability to work cross-functionally in a fast-paced NPI environment.

Key Responsibilities

Lead test development activities for new electronic products during NPI phases

Define and implement production test strategies (ICT, FCT, system-level, functional, and boundary scan)

Design, validate, and release test fixtures, test software, and automation solutions

Support prototype, pilot, and MP builds , including on-site test support and debugging

Collaborate closely with Design, NPI, Manufacturing, Quality, and Supply Chain teams

Drive DFT reviews with hardware and firmware teams to ensure testability

Develop and maintain test documentation including test plans, specifications, procedures, and reports

Analyze test data, yields, and coverage; identify root causes and implement corrective actions

Support failure analysis and debug hardware, firmware, and manufacturing issues

Manage test equipment selection, procurement, qualification, and maintenance

Support test transfer to production and/or contract manufacturers

Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on yield, cost, and test efficiency

Mentor junior test engineers and technicians as needed

Ensure compliance with company quality systems and regulatory requirements
