About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Identify test gaps using field failures, factory nonconformances, failure analysis, 8D findings, FMEA/FMECA risks, and test data
Convert failure mechanisms and real-world operating conditions into executable test requirements
Define system-representative functional, parametric, stress, burn-in, thermal, RF, high-voltage, leak, particle, interlock, and other tests
Evaluate feasibility and develop technical concepts, specifications, statements of work, costs, and schedules
Lead test-system design, sourcing, build, bring-up, validation, and production implementation
Establish correlation, repeatability, reproducibility, measurement capability, calibration requirements, and acceptance criteria
Deploy test systems at suppliers and Applied factories; resolve implementation issues and coordinate engineering changes
Establish preventive-maintenance, calibration, out-of-tolerance response, configuration control, data retention, and performance-monitoring requirements
Monitor detection effectiveness, test-system performance, false failures, escapes, NCs, DMRs, and quality indicators
Improve supplier test mandates, Functional Requirements Documents, FMEA/FMECA, Design for Testability, and product-lifecycle deliverables
Lead complex initiatives across suppliers, factories, engineering, manufacturing, quality, reliability, and business-unit teams
Create reusable test requirements, methods, standards, specifications, and validation practices
Mentor engineers, transfer knowledge, and build global Test Excellence capability
