Test Engineering Manager

The Test Manager is responsible for planning, implementing, and overseeing all testing activities to ensure product quality and compliance with industry standards. This role involves managing a team of test engineers, developing test strategies, and collaborating with design, production, and quality teams to deliver reliable electronic products

What youll own (mission)

• Lead and scale the Test Engineering function for board & system-level production to ensure first-pass yield, reliability, and timely ramps to volume.
• Deliver robust test strategies (ICT, AOI, X-Ray, functional, boundary-scan, system test), ATE infrastructure, and automation to meet product quality and throughput targets.
• Be the primary technical contact for customers and cross-functional stakeholders on test readiness, failure analysis, and continuous improvement.
• Build a Solid technical capability in team who thrives in upcoming 5G-6G telecommunication and AI enabled Networking products.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Leadership & Delivery

• Define and implement test strategies (ICT, AOI, X-Ray, functional, boundary-scan, system test) and test coverage targets for new product introductions (NPI) and production.
• Oversee development, validation, and deployment of test programs on ATE platforms, lead test fixture & handler design reviews.
• Coordinate with suppliers and customers for test requirements.
• Drive DFT best practices, test coverage analysis, and design-for-testability recommendations with product engineering.

People & Operational Management

• Lead a team of Test Engineers and Technicians (hiring, mentoring, performance management).
• Set measurable KPIs (DPPM, first pass yield, cycle time, test coverage, mean time to detect/resolve failures) and report program readiness metrics to stakeholders.
• Manage departmental budget for test equipment, spares, and tooling.

NPI & Customer Engagement

• Act as test point of contact during NPI and ramp phases: review test plans, participate in design reviews, and lead test validations.
• Present test readiness and improvement plans to customers and internal leadership.
• Collaborate with Quality and Production to analyze failure trends and implement corrective actions.

Continuous Improvement & Safety

• Drive lean test processes, automation of manual steps, and test data analytics to reduce cost and cycle-time.
• Ensure compliance with safety, security, and site procedures.

Success Metrics (what success looks like in 6 months)

• Achieve targeted first pass yield and DPPM targets for assigned program(s).
• Deploy validated ATE and test programs for at least one NPI to production readiness.
• Reduce average test cycle and demonstrate measurable cost/scrap reduction.
• Build and certify a cross-functional team capable of leading sustained volume production.
• Meet or exceed Customer Delivery dates with on time execution of test strategy and project management .

Required (Must-have)

• Bachelors degree in electrical / Electronics / Mechatronics or Mechanical Engineering.
• 15+ years of test engineering experience in EMS/semiconductor/board manufacturing; minimum 3 years in a managerial or lead role.
• Hands-on experience with ATE platforms, test program development, fixture/harness design, and DFT practices.
• Strong experience with failure analysis and test data analytics.
• Excellent stakeholder and customer-facing communication skills.
• Ability to work on-site in Pune with flexibility to support multi-site operations; up to ~1020% travel (supplier/customer visits).

Preferred (Nice-to-have)

• Experience with TRI, Key Sight, Teradyne, Advantest, Test Stand, LabVIEW, or Python-based test automation.
• Exposure to high-volume server / datacenter or GPU-level test programs.
• Experience in cost reduction programs, lean manufacturing, and reliability test programs.
• Masters degree or relevant certification in test engineering.
