Responsibilities

Design, build, and own software, electrical, and hardware test fixtures used in production.
Define manufacturing test-system strategy and architecture; author test specifications and fixture acceptance plans.
Write scripts and programs for automated testing, factory-data capture, traceability, and yield analysis.
Develop hardware-testing features and tooling.
Own an OpenHTF-based Python test runtime with YAML configuration, product variants, and feature flags.
Maintain the TypeScript/Electron/React operator application communicating with the Python test agent over gRPC/protobuf.
Manage CI, signed installers, semantic-version releases, and an S3 auto-update pipeline with rollback.

Lead firmware bring-up, validation, and testing of PCBAs and electrical systems, including motor controllers, battery-management systems, and vehicle-controller units.
Validate mechanical and electrical assemblies for safety, durability, and functionality.
Validate and troubleshoot factory tests, define factory-test requirements, support software bring-up, and review fixture software.

Triage manufacturing issues, perform initial failure analysis, and drive corrective actions with engineering partners.
Troubleshoot assembly failures and diagnose and fix test-station bugs.
Travel to contract manufacturers as needed to support successful design builds and testing.

Partner with contract manufacturers, supplier quality, program teams, and engineering teams to resolve manufacturing issues.
Manage external fixture vendors, including design reviews and Factory/Site Acceptance Testing.
Prepare design-investigation summaries and test reports.
Translate manufacturing requirements for enterprise IT and security teams.
Lead test-engineering projects from concept through production execution.
