Position Overview:

We are seeking a proactive and hands-on Manufacturing and Test Engineer to support the production, validation, and continuous improvement of our advanced IC and optoelectronic products (Lidar and Photonic Products). This role is critical in bridging R&D with operations, ensuring high-quality manufacturing through process development, test automation, and yield analysis.

Key Responsibilities:

Manufacturing Support

• Develop and optimize assembly, test, and calibration procedures for prototypes and production units.
• Interface with PCB assembly vendors, contract manufacturers, and test labs to ensure smooth handoff from engineering to production.
• Implement DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and DFT (Design for Test) practices into new designs.

Test Development & Execution

• Design, build, and maintain automated test setups for electrical, optical, and system-level validation.
• Write test scripts and control routines (Python, LabVIEW, etc.) for bench and production test environments.
• Perform root-cause analysis on test failures and drive corrective actions.

Process & Quality Improvement

• Monitor test yields and manufacturing KPIs; work with cross-functional teams to drive improvements.
• Support product qualification, reliability testing, and failure analysis.
• Maintain and calibrate lab equipment and fixtures used in production.

Documentation & Reporting

• Create and maintain test plans, work instructions, and assembly documentation.
• Report results to design and operations teams and contribute to continual improvement processes.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or a related field.
• 4+ years of experience in manufacturing test or NPI (New Product Introduction) environments.
• Proficient with lab instruments (oscilloscopes, SMUs, power supplies, electronic loads).
• Experience with test automation tools (Python, LabVIEW, MATLAB) and data logging systems.
• Familiarity with PCB testing, fixture design, and ESD/handling best practices.
• Strong problem-solving, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
• Experience with optical or photonic device testing is a plus.
