Staff Manufacturing Test Engineer

Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced Manufacturing Test Engineer to support high-volume server manufacturing from board-level test through system-level production test. This role will work closely with an ODM manufacturing partner to define, implement, validate, and optimize the manufacturing test strategy for L6 board-level products, including ICT, MDA, and Board Functional Test, as well as support L10 system-level manufacturing test.

The ideal candidate has strong experience in server hardware manufacturing, Linux-based test environments, diagnostic test coverage, fixture requirements, yield improvement, and root cause corrective action processes. This role requires both technical depth and hands-on manufacturing execution experience, with the ability to drive best practices across test development, factory readiness, quality planning, and ongoing production support.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Serve as the primary technical interface between internal teams and ODM manufacturing test teams.
• Collaborate with hardware engineering, diagnostics, firmware, software, quality, supply chain, and operations teams.
• Support NPI builds, pilot builds, production ramp, and sustaining manufacturing activities.
• Communicate test readiness, risks, yield issues, corrective actions, and manufacturing quality status to program stakeholders.
• Travel to ODM manufacturing sites as needed to support build readiness, test deployment, debug, and ramp activities.

Manufacturing Line and Fixture Requirements

• Specify manufacturing line requirements for test station configuration, test sequencing, data capture, networking, tooling, and operator workflow.
• Define requirements for test fixtures, cabling, adapters, load boards, debug interfaces, power delivery, signal access, and fixture maintenance.
• Ensure fixtures and test stations meet manufacturing requirements for reliability, repeatability, safety, ease of use, throughput, and serviceability.
• Drive fixture validation, correlation, preventive maintenance planning, and readiness for production ramp.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with L6 board-level and L10 system-level manufacturing processes.
• Experience porting board-level functional tests into system-level manufacturing environments.
• Familiarity with server diagnostics, BMC interfaces, BIOS/UEFI, firmware update flows, hardware health checks, and system stress testing.
• Experience with Python, Bash, or other scripting languages used in manufacturing test automation.
• Knowledge of manufacturing data systems, test result databases, yield dashboards, and factory analytics.
• Experience with high-volume NPI, EVT/DVT/PVT, pilot builds, and production ramp.
• Familiarity with test coverage analysis, DFT/DFM principles, and manufacturing escape prevention.
• Experience working with global manufacturing teams and offshore ODM sites.
