Test Development Engineering (TDE) Project Leader

Job description:

NPI Project Leadership & Execution:

  • Lead the test development workstream for multiple NPI projects concurrently, acting as the single point of contact for all test-related matters.
  • Define project scope, deliverables, schedules, and resource requirements in alignment with the overall NPI product milestones (EVT, DVT, PVT, MP).
  • Proactively identify project risks (technical, schedule, budget) and develop mitigation plans.

Test Strategy & Plan Development:

  • Author and owner of the ICT and FCT manufacture test strategy(MTS) for new products, detailing test coverage strategy, hardware (fixture) architecture, software framework, and data infrastructure.
  • Collaborate with R&D and Quality teams to define precise Pass/Fail criteria, test limits, and diagnostic requirements.
  • Engage with Design-for-Test (DFT) initiatives, providing feedback to R&D to improve the testability of new hardware designs.
  • Estimate project budget, including costs for test equipment, fixtures, and development resources.

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Communication:

  • Serve as the primary technical interface between the TDE team and internal stakeholders, including Hardware R&D, Firmware/BIOS/BMC developers, and the Factory Test team.
  • Translate complex product features and technical specifications from R&D into actionable test requirements for your development team.
  • Lead technical reviews and working sessions to resolve complex integration challenges between the product, firmware, and test system.
  • Negotiate and align on deliverables, schedules, and responsibilities with the factory team to ensure a smooth transition from development to mass production.

Technical Oversight & Solution Quality:

  • Provide technical guidance and mentorship to test development engineers on your project team.
  • Ensure the final test solution meets critical targets for stability (high MTBF), repeatability (passing Gage R&R), and efficiency (low cycle time).
  • Drive root-cause analysis for complex test failures during the NPI phases and oversee the implementation of robust corrective actions.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
  • 5 years of experience in test engineering or test development, with a proven track record of developing solutions for complex electronic products.
  • Deep familiarity with the NPI lifecycle (EVT, DVT, PVT, MP) and the specific test-related deliverables required at each stage.
  • Direct experience developing test solutions for enterprise hardware: servers, network switches, or storage systems.
  • Demonstrated ability to create comprehensive test plans, defining test coverage, methodologies, and infrastructure.
  • Strong project management skills; ability to manage scope, schedule, and resources for complex technical projects.
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to diverse audiences.

Skills:

  • Hands-on experience with test automation and programming, particularly in Python.
  • Experience with standard test & measurement equipment (e.g., oscilloscopes, DMMs, power supplies, network traffic generators).
  • Knowledge of server/storage architecture, including x86 platforms, BIOS/UEFI, BMC/IPMI, and high-speed interfaces (PCIe, DDR, 100G+ Ethernet)

Why is This a Great Opportunity:

  • End-to-End Ownership in NPI LifecycleFull involvement across EVT, DVT, PVT, and MP phases provides comprehensive exposure to product development, from concept validation through mass production, ensuring deep understanding of hardware lifecycle execution.
  • High-Impact Work on Enterprise Hardware SystemsThe role focuses on complex enterprise-grade products such as servers, storage, and networking systems, directly contributing to the quality, reliability, and scalability of critical infrastructure solutions.
  • Strong Cross-Functional Engineering CollaborationClose interaction with R&D, firmware, quality, and factory teams enhances cross-disciplinary integration and strengthens technical alignment across the entire product development ecosystem.
  • Strategic Influence on Test Architecture and StandardsResponsibility for ICT/FCT test strategy, coverage definition, and DFT engagement enables significant contribution to test methodology, automation frameworks, and manufacturing efficiency improvements.
  • Leadership and Career Advancement in Technical Project Delivery
    The combination of project leadership, technical oversight, and mentoring responsibilities supports development into senior engineering or engineering management roles within advanced hardware environments.
