Board Test Engineering Team Leader

You will own the strategy, specification, and development of test solutions for a high-volume production board/PCBA that integrates multiple AI accelerator chips, high-current power delivery, embedded control, and PCIe Gen6 interconnect. Lead and manage internal and external engineering teams to deliver robust, scalable test infrastructure for offshore manufacturing., * Define the end-to-end board/PCBA test strategy for a complex board containing multiple AI accelerator chips, high-current VRMs, local MCU, and PCIe Gen6 board-to-board and chip-to-chip links.

• Develop detailed test requirements, coverage goals, and manufacturing test specifications (ICT, boundary scan, functional test, system-level test).
• Lead the design and deployment of the board/PCBA test solution for offshore high-volume manufacturing, including fixtures, test stations, instrumentation, and automation architecture.
• Collaborate with hardware, firmware, power, and SI/PI teams to ensure testability is designed-in early (DFT/DFM for board-level manufacturing and test).
• Oversee MCU-based board-level test features (self-test firmware, sensor/telemetry validation, SPI/I2C/GPIO test hooks).
• Coordinate with CM/EMS partners to ensure manufacturability, repeatability, throughput, and yield targets are met; establish KPIs for board test performance.
• Lead root-cause failure analysis and test-based diagnostics for assembly defects, component issues and manufacturing marginalities and weaknesses.
• Own documentation for test specifications, test flow, acceptance criteria, debug procedures.
• Implement data collection, logging, and analytics for yield, performance trends, and field-return correlation.
• Manage external partners developing fixtures, test software, and custom instrumentation; track schedules and deliverables.
• Partner with product engineering to align board test with system characterization, environmental stress testing, and reliability validation., * Ownership and execution: you will have full agency to drive your work forward
• Rapid iteration: we all work directly with top leadership to move from idea to hardware on ambitious timelines
• Full-stack engagement: hardware, software, silicon, and modelling teams all work closely together to create a product with generational impact
• Optimistic and pragmatic: we possess the will to win, and to do the hard work to get us there
• Team player mentality: the mission is bigger than any of us, and we have the curiosity and technical focus to see the best idea shipped, no matter who’s it is

• 8+ years in board/PCBA test engineering, with ownership of high-volume production test solutions.
• Experience defining test strategies for complex digital boards with high-speed IO and significant power delivery requirements.
• Strong hands-on experience with functional testers, fixture development, boundary scan/JTAG, ICT, and automated manufacturing test flows.
• Experience with embedded test firmware and MCU-driven diagnostics (Zephyr or similar RTOSes a plus).
• Proven ability to work with offshore EMS/CM partners and manage external test development vendors.
• Strong analytical and debug skills across digital logic, power electronics, and high-speed serial links., * Experience with boards designed around AI accelerators, GPUs, networking ASICs, or other high-power/high-speed compute hardware.
• Familiarity with high-current VRMs, multiphase converters, and related test methodologies.
• Knowledge of automated factory data systems, test data analytics, and yield-improvement processes.
• Experience with advanced board-to-board and chip-to-chip signal integrity test in a production test environment.

• Founded in 2022, team of 70+ which is expanding rapidly
• Modern, open offices in London and Bristol
• Collaborative, problem-solving culture built on deep curiosity, entrepreneurial initiative and technical fluency
