Sr. Manufacturing Test Manager

What You’ll Be Doing

• Implementing system-level test strategies for HAV platforms (HAPS, ZeBu), covering hardware, firmware, and infrastructure.
• Defining and executing test plans for new product introductions, feature releases, and customer-specific configurations.
• Leading manufacturing validation of FPGA-based prototyping systems, emulation platforms, board-level hardware, high-speed interconnects, and power systems.
• Managing test equipment deployment, including fixtures, stations, and accessories, and overseeing final assembly test for embedded firmware and low-level software.
• Driving root cause analysis for complex system failures across HW/FW/SW boundaries and ensuring corrective actions are implemented.
• Building, mentoring, and managing a high-performing test engineering team, setting goals, and fostering a culture of technical rigor and continuous improvement.
• Establishing scalable test methodologies, automation frameworks, and regression strategies for quality and efficiency.
• Partnering with R&D, hardware, firmware, quality, reliability management, and field operations to ensure test coverage and support customer escalations.
• Owning test schedules, deliverables, and resource allocation across multiple programs, communicating status and risks to senior leadership.
• Managing external test development and fixture suppliers, governing test release and change control, and integrating factory test automation with CM/EMS MES systems.

The Impact You Will Have

• Deliver clear, measurable test strategy and coverage across PCBA, subsystem, and system tests, ensuring high-quality product releases.
• Drive high availability and scalability of test fixtures, testers, spares, and test networks, supporting global manufacturing operations.
• Enable robust test automation and MES integration, providing accessible logs and automated reporting for data-driven decision-making.
• Lead a team that systematically identifies top issues, collaborates with R&D/Test Development to drive closure, and manages product diagnosis.
• Reduce defect escape rates and improve yield through continuous improvement of test methodologies and quality metrics.
• Accelerate time-to-market for new products and features by optimizing test efficiency and process scalability.
• Support critical customer escalations with deep technical engagement, enhancing customer satisfaction and trust in Synopsys platforms.

What You’ll Need

• Bachelor’s degree (master’s preferred) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 10+ years of experience in hardware/system validation or test engineering.
• 3–5+ years in an engineering management or technical leadership role.
• Strong background in FPGA-based systems, emulation, or complex hardware platforms.
• Experience testing systems involving HW/FW/SW integration and debugging cross-disciplinary system issues.
• Hands-on understanding of FPGA architecture and tool flows, high-speed interfaces (PCIe, Ethernet, DDR, SerDes), and embedded systems.
• Proficiency in Linux-based development environments and automation frameworks.
• Strong communication, leadership, and collaboration skills.
• Experience managing globally distributed teams and customer-facing validation or field support environments is a plus.
