Principle Manufacturing Test Engineer

The Principal Manufacturing Test Engineer will shape the strategy, development, and deployment of test systems for computer hardware products throughout the entire production lifecycle-spanning individual modules, fully assembled servers, racks, and large-scale clusters. This role applies automation, advanced analytics, and DesignforTest methodologies to build scalable solutions that support smooth product launches and zerodefect performance. Duties Lead or support major transformation efforts that redefine manufacturing risk analysis, quality practices, and continuous improvement standards. Establish new systems, processes, and frameworks that advance the smartfactory vision, leveraging automation, metrology, advanced inspection, testing, and predictive analytics. Partner closely with design, quality, manufacturing, test, and supplier engineering teams to deliver tightly integrated solutions for production. Use rich data environments and analytical tools to uncover insights; improve yield, reliability, and throughput using rootcause analysis and TimetoFailure (TTF) methodologies. Apply advanced statistical and analytical techniques to measure, quantify, and manage risk in complex manufacturing systems. Convert DFM and PFMEA outputs into proactive process controls that prevent variation rather than react to it. Build and execute test strategies across all hyperscale assembly stages-module, server, rack, and cluster. Define the strategy and lead development of clusterlevel validation testing. Establish worldclass manufacturing test practices and create a clear roadmap for achieving them. Encourage innovative thinking and a healthy risktaking culture that enables cuttingedge test methodologies and tools. Act as a subjectmatter expert on customer product design and test infrastructure requirements. Own and guide DesignforTest (DFT) strategies across all products. Mentor and develop global test teams, fostering learning, growth, and strong datadriven decisionmaking. Architect and supervise deployment of highreliability factory test infrastructure and test stations (manual, automated, and semiautomated). Specify and manage Test Management and Execution Software to orchestrate diagnostics, workflows, and reporting. Oversee development and maintenance of Test Executive automation for module and systemlevel testing. Integrate customer test requirements, software, and infrastructure into production systems. Write and maintain comprehensive test plans and coverage documentation. Drive use of industrystandard and opensource test tools. Develop industryleading lowlevel tests, utilities, and diagnostics at the board and module levels. Lead adoption of automation across all test stages to reduce cycle time, improve test coverage, and increase yield. Requirements Advanced degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science, or a related discipline. 10-15 years of experience in complex, highvolume manufacturing, including at least 5 years in leadership or transformationfocused roles (not limited to people management). Expertise in hyperscale system architectures, including: Strong understanding of interactions across the hardware stack Demonstrated experience developing tests at the board, module, server, rack, and cluster levels. Strong background in diagnostics, fault isolation, and rootcause analysis. Proven track record designing and sustaining highvolume production test stations. Advanced knowledge of analytical and statistical methodologies (regression, correlation, DOE, SPC, PFMEA, Gauge R/&R, commonality studies) using tools such as Minitab or JMP. Proficiency with datadriven tools like Python, R, SQL, Minitab, and JMP. Demonstrated success in improving yield, reliability, and overall process robustness. Excellent communication skills with the ability to interface effectively at both executive and technical levels. Experience in electronics manufacturing, PCBA, server production, or other highreliability industries (e.g., aerospace, medical devices, automotive).
