We are seeking a forward-thinking Technical Project Manager to spearhead transformative initiatives within our Test Engineering organization. In this cross-functional leadership role, you will be the driving force behind implementing new test processes and bridging the gap between Hardware Design, Software/Diagnostics, and Manufacturing Test teams. You will lead the strategy, process definition, and execution—including integrating AI in test, deploying adaptive testing methodologies and driving advanced test data analytics.

Test Process Implementation: Lead the development, standardization, and rollout of new processes in the manufacturing test area to improve operational efficiency, minimize cycle times, and maximize product yield.

Boundary Scan & Hardware Integration: Champion and drive the optimization of boundary scan (JTAG/IEEE 1149.x) strategies directly into hardware design workflows, ensuring optimal physical access and high structural test coverage from the initial design stages.

MTRS Process Leadership: Define, govern, and optimize the end-to-end flows for Manufacturing Test Requirement Specifications (MTRS). Ensure seamless collaboration and clear deliverables between product design, diagnostics software, and factory test teams.

AI & Adaptive Testing Initiatives: Spearhead the introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning within the test ecosystem. Oversee the deployment of adaptive testing frameworks that dynamically adjust test sequences and limits based on real-time factory data.

Test Data Analytics Implementation: Lead the adoption and integration of advanced test data analytics platforms. Leverage metrics such as Cpk, Gauge R&R, and SPC to drive predictive yield modeling, reduce false failures, and inform strategic engineering decisions.

Cross-Functional Team Coordination: Act as the central project manager linking Hardware Design, Software, and Manufacturing Test Development. Drive schedules, manage risks, and ensure diagnostic capabilities are designed with manufacturing efficiency in mind.

Technical & Process Expertise:

Proven track record of defining and implementing manufacturing test processes, particularly MTRS flows and test strategy documentation.

Strong understanding of Design for Testability (DFT), Boundary Scan diagnostics, and how to drive these requirements into early hardware design phases.

Experience implementing or managing Test Data Analytics platforms and a solid grasp of statistical quality metrics (Cpk, GR&R, SPC).

Innovation & Strategy: Familiarity with modern test innovations, including AI applications in manufacturing and adaptive/dynamic testing methodologies.
