Descripción del empleo

As a Manufacturing Hardware Test Engineer at Gigamon (Guadalajara Technology Park), you will develop and sustain hardware test solutions for our network visibility and security products. You will support and maintain automated test programs in Visual Basic, Perl, and Python to ensure robust coverage, repeatability, and efficient factory execution. Partnering closely with SW Test Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Hardware and Software Engineering, Supply Chain finished goods warehouses, and contract manufacturers, you will own hands‑on debug down to the component level and drive yield, quality, and process improvement throughput across NPI and sustaining production. This role is highly collaborative, requiring clear communication with US‑based teams and global manufacturing partners.

What you’ll do

• Develop, and maintain manufacturing test solutions for Gigamon hardware platforms, from board‑level to system‑level failure analysis.
• Support automated test sequences and utilities using Visual Basic, Perl, and Python to test chassis based and fixed integrated units under test.
• Must be familiar using device programmers/programming pods for CPLDs, EEPROMs, and other programmable components.
• Perform hands‑on troubleshooting down to the component level, using schematics, PCB layouts, BOMs, and lab equipment to isolate root cause on high‑speed digital, power, and mixed‑signal circuits, using dvm's, oscilloscopes, traffic generators.
• Support and resolve factory issues on test network and test station security.
• Document test plans, procedures, and best practices; train factory engineering and technicians to ensure consistent execution.
• Support Warehouse conversion in both CST and CET timezones.

What you’ve done

• Bilingual (english and spanish)
• 5–8 years’ experience working as a hardware or manufacturing test engineer on complex electronic products, ideally in networking, security, or related hardware domains.
• Developed and supported automated manufacturing test solutions using Visual Basic, Perl, and/or Python for fixture control, data logging, and results analysis.
• Demonstrated strong hands‑on debug skills down to the component level, using schematics, BOMs, and lab instrumentation to isolate root cause.
• Experience with supporting contract manufacturers and/or partners, including remote debug, software clear communication of findings, and structured follow‑up on corrective actions.
• Used device programmers and programming pods to program and verify firmware, CPLDs, EEPROMs, and other programmable devices in a production environment.
• Collaborated effectively with US‑based cross‑functional teams (Engineering, Operations, Quality, Supply Chain) and communicated status, risks, and recommendations clearly in both written and verbal form.
• Have a BS Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, and possess equivalent practical experience in hardware/manufacturing test.
• 15% international travel is required.

Who you are

• An independent, self‑sufficient engineer who takes ownership of problems end‑to‑end and can operate with minimal day‑to‑day supervision.
• A clear and proactive communicator who can translate complex technical issues into concise updates for engineers, operations partners, and manufacturing teams.
• A collaborative partner who works well across functions and geographies and builds strong relationships with contract manufacturers and internal stakeholders.
• A hands‑on troubleshooter who is comfortable on the line and in the lab, methodically isolating issues and validating fixes with data‑driven approaches.
• Data Driven, Detail‑oriented and quality‑focused, with a strong sense of ownership for test coverage, reliability, and manufacturability of the products you support.
