Skills

• Strong established relationships with test hardware suppliers (probe card, loadboard, socket vendors).
• Understanding of manufacturability and build technology/process for PCB, MLO, and probe heads.
• Thermal and mechanical engineering oversight—knowledge and ability to design solutions for complex package designs.
• SI/PI knowledge for high-speed designs (Connectivity, Processor, ASIC, AI).
• Hardware software tools and simulation process/technology direction.
• Supply chain interlock and budget forecasting experience.
• New technology qualification leadership.
