Test Development Engineering (TDE) Project Leader

Your ultimate goal is to ensure every product is tested with a highly stable, effective, and efficient solution that guarantees our quality standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the test development workstream for multiple NPI projects concurrently, acting as the single point of contact for all test-related matters.
• Define project scope, deliverables, schedules, and resource requirements in alignment with the overall NPI product milestones (EVT, DVT, PVT, MP).
• Proactively identify project risks (technical, schedule, budget) and develop mitigation plans.

• Author and owner of the ICT and FCT manufacture test strategy(MTS) for new products, detailing test coverage strategy, hardware (fixture) architecture, software framework, and data infrastructure.
• Collaborate with R&D and Quality teams to define precise Pass/Fail criteria, test limits, and diagnostic requirements.
• Engage with Design-for-Test (DFT) initiatives, providing feedback to R&D to improve the testability of new hardware designs.
• Estimate project budget, including costs for test equipment, fixtures, and development resources.

• Serve as the primary technical interface between the TDE team and internal stakeholders, including Hardware R&D, Firmware/BIOS/BMC developers, and the Factory Test team.
• Translate complex product features and technical specifications from R&D into actionable test requirements for your development team.
• Lead technical reviews and working sessions to resolve complex integration challenges between the product, firmware, and test system.
• Negotiate and align on deliverables, schedules, and responsibilities with the factory team to ensure a smooth transition from development to mass production.

• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to test development engineers on your project team.
• Ensure the final test solution meets critical targets for stability (high MTBF), repeatability (passing Gage R&R), and efficiency (low cycle time).
• Drive root-cause analysis for complex test failures during the NPI phases and oversee the implementation of robust corrective actions.

Required:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in test engineering or test development, with a proven track record of developing solutions for complex electronic products.
• Deep familiarity with the NPI lifecycle (EVT, DVT, PVT, MP) and the specific test-related deliverables required at each stage.
• Direct experience developing test solutions for enterprise hardware: servers, network switches, or storage systems.
• Demonstrated ability to create comprehensive test plans, defining test coverage, methodologies, and infrastructure.
• Strong project management skills; ability to manage scope, schedule, and resources for complex technical projects.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to diverse audiences.

Preferred:

• Hands-on experience with test automation and programming, particularly in Python.
• Experience with standard test & measurement equipment (e.g., oscilloscopes, DMMs, power supplies, network traffic generators).
• Knowledge of server/storage architecture, including x86 platforms, BIOS/UEFI, BMC/IPMI, and high-speed interfaces (PCIe, DDR, 100G+ Ethernet).
