- Lead electrical and PCBA testing across prototype and production builds to ensure compliance with design and regulatory requirements.
- Develop and maintain test fixtures, automated test systems, and validation protocols for efficient, traceable testing.
- Conduct root cause analysis for test failures, process deviations, and field issues, implementing robust corrective actions.
- Partner with manufacturing and quality teams to ensure smooth design transfer and scalable production processes.
- Support process validation (IQ / OQ / PQ) and test method validation (TMV) activities for new and existing test systems.
- Collaborate with suppliers and contract manufacturers to resolve electrical and process issues impacting yield and reliability.
- Drive continuous improvement initiatives in automation, data acquisition, and test efficiency.
- Ensure all testing and manufacturing activities meet FDA, ISO 13485, and IEC 60601 standards.
- Mentor junior engineers and technicians, promoting strong engineering discipline and quality culture.
