Manufacturing Test Engineer

Responsibilities

Design, implement, and validate camera test processes for new products at in-region

manufacturing sites.

Develop automated test scripts and procedures for camera modules, subassemblies, and final products using C/C++, Python, or MATLAB.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure manufacturing test readiness including, test software and hardware readiness for builds, test chart and condition design, algorithm implementation, hardware bring-up, tester DFM, MBO, GRR, and smooth transition to mass production.

Provide on-site support for camera test stations, troubleshooting hardware and software issues.

Monitor test yields and data, analyze failures, and drive root cause analysis and corrective actions.

Manage external vendors for test setup, design validation, design reviews, and production ramp-up.

Optimize test processes for efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.

Implement feedback loops with upstream engineering teams to improve product design for testability.

Conduct camera debugging, root cause analysis, and problem-solving to support product development.

Communicate and report key deliverables to cross-functional teams to drive design improvements.

Minimum Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Optics, Physics, or related field.

3+ years of experience in camera module or consumer electronics manufacturing test

engineering.

Hands-on experience with camera test equipment, image quality analysis, and automated test systems.

Proficiency in scripting languages (Python, LabVIEW, C/C++, etc.) for test automation.

Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

Excellent communication skills in English (and local language as required).

Knowledge of camera module fabrication and familiarity with camera hardware components: image sensor, lens, IRCF, VCM/AF actuator, etc.

Familiarity with industry standard camera testing methods (MTF, noise, shading, focus, etc.)

Preferred Qualifications:

Proficiency in statistical data analysis and familiarity with camera data analysis

methodologies, including JMP.

Hands-on industry experience with Augmented Reality (AR) or Virtual Reality (VR) products.

Experience in lens and opto-mechanical design, including tolerance analysis and stray light evaluation.

Background in high-volume production and test environments.

Experience with lens metrology tools such as TriOptics ImageMaster HR, OptiCentric,

Pro9/Pro10, as well as optical system metrology techniques, including colorimetry,

photoradiometry, integrating spheres, and spectrophotometry.

Practical experience in prototyping with macro-scale imaging test targets, interfacing fixtures for sensor devices, and integrating off-the-shelf optomechanical components (e.g., Thorlabs, Edmund, Newport). Strong understanding of sensors and optics, including their evaluation methodologies.

Familiarity with camera calibration, image sensor characterization, and optical alignment.

Knowledge of statistical process control (SPC), yield analysis, and data visualization tools.
