  • Lead Design for Testability (DFT) reviews and recommend improvements to test access, coverage, diagnostics, and product design.
  • Develop scalable test solutions supporting New Product Introduction (NPI) and ongoing production.
  • Ensure test systems and processes are properly documented, validated, and maintained.
  • Support the introduction and deployment of new test technologies and capabilities.

Operational Excellence

  • Monitor and improve first-pass yield, test coverage, cycle time, failure trends, and throughput.
  • Analyze test data to identify recurring failures, false failures, bottlenecks, and improvement opportunities.
  • Drive corrective actions that reduce test-related defects, escapes, and diagnostic time.
  • Support Lean, Six Sigma, Kaizen, and other continuous improvement activities.

Cross-FunctionalCustomer Support

  • Partner with Production, Quality, Engineering, and Program Management to resolve test-related issues and production constraints.
  • Support NPI activities including DFT, test strategy, equipment readiness, and production transition.
