• Lead the engineering team, allocate resources, develop team capabilities, and balance urgent production issues with planned work
• Coordinate dependencies across hardware, firmware, manufacturing, and other teams, identifying risks and blockers early to ensure production testing is ready for product launches
• Define production testing strategies and acceptance criteria with the team and oversee the development and maintenance of test fixtures, equipment, software, and infrastructure, including for new products such as Flipper One
• Coordinate test deployment at factories, maintain up-to-date instructions and test result monitoring, and work with engineering and manufacturing teams to identify root causes of defects and validate fixes
• Analyze production test data, returns, and support cases to identify systemic issues and turn recurring defects into concrete improvements to the product, manufacturing process, or testing

• Hands-on experience with electronics production testing and a strong understanding of the full product lifecycle from prototype to mass production
• Strong technical foundation, including the ability to read and develop schematic, use measurement equipment, solder, and troubleshoot interactions between electronics, firmware, and test software
• Hands-on experience developing or implementing automated tests and production test fixtures, with strong Linux and Python skills, including pytest
