- Develop test processes and data-monitoring methods that improve throughput, reliability, and manufacturing quality. Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, firmware, quality, supply chain, and contract manufacturing teams to resolve complex production issues.
- Document test procedures, troubleshooting methods, and manufacturing controls for internal and external production teams.

- Experience leading manufacturing test development from prototype validation through mass production.
- Strong understanding of PCBA manufacturing, functional testing, test fixtures, calibration, and production-line debugging.
- Proficiency with electrical laboratory equipment and manufacturing test tools.
- Experience using data analysis and quality methods to improve yield, identify process variation, and prevent test escapes.
- Ability to troubleshoot complex electrical, mechanical, and firmware-related production issues independently.
