• Develop and implement manufacturing test coverage for the Neo assembly line

• Collaborate with firmware and hardware teams to define test coverage, metrics, and APIs

• Design and develop manufacturing test software for connectivity, functionality, and system-level self-tests

• Debug and root-cause issues related to manufacturing testing

• Build scalable, reliable test software for high-volume production, leveraging cloud tools to reduce downtime and cost

• Log, store, and analyze test data to inform design improvements

• Drive Design-for-Test (DFT) requirements through early engagement with cross-functional teams

• Work with internal and external partners on tester design and validation

Job requirements

• Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience
