About the role

We are seeking a high-caliber Test Development Lead Engineer, Project, to drive test development workstreams across multiple concurrent projects. In this role, you will act as the primary technical interface and lead between the Test Development Engineering (TDE) team and internal stakeholders including R&D, Firmware/BIOS/BMC, and Factory teams. You will define project scope, deliverables, schedules, and resource requirements in alignment with New Product Introduction (NPI) milestones (EVT, DVT, PVT, MP), while developing comprehensive manufacturing test strategies (MTS) for ICT and FCT.

Key Responsibilities

● NPI Project Leadership Execution: Lead test development workstreams for multiple concurrent projects, acting as the primary point of contact. Define project scope, deliverables, schedules, and resource requirements in alignment with NPI milestones (EVT, DVT, PVT, MP) and manage project risks.

● Test Strategy Plan Development: Develop manufacturing test strategies (MTS) for In-Circuit Test (ICT) and Functional Circuit Test (FCT), including test coverage, hardware/fixture architecture, and data infrastructure. Collaborate with R&D on Design-for-Test (DFT) initiatives and Pass/Fail criteria.

● Cross-Functional Collaboration: Act as the primary technical interface between the TDE team and internal stakeholders (R&D, Firmware/BIOS/BMC, and Factory teams) to translate specifications into actionable test requirements and lead technical reviews.
