  • Proven success optimizing test coverage, yield, throughput, cycle time, repeatability, and cost.
  • Experience developing automated test systems and analyzing test data to identify failures, improve test capability, and drive manufacturing performance.
  • Proven ability to partner with contract manufacturers to deploy, qualify, and scale production test capability.
  • Exceptional leadership, communication, and relationship-building skills with the ability to influence executive stakeholders and build high-performing teams.


Nice to Have
  • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Optical Engineering, or another advanced technical discipline.
  • Experience with high-speed electrical interconnect, optical interconnect, photonics, or advanced AI compute hardware.
  • Six Sigma or other advanced continuous improvement certification.


Compensation & Equity
  • Competitive Salary: Commensurate with your experience, skills, and location
