Your Job: Join our team as a Test Engineer in Guadalajara, where you will play a key role in supporting and developing the test area to ensure operational continuity, efficiency, and technical excellence. In this role, you will directly contribute to keeping production lines running, troubleshooting issues, and driving improvements through data-driven analysis and technical expertise.

Build robust, scalable test systems that ensure product quality, accelerate time-to-market, and enable confident high-volume manufacturing. You will develop and maintain test infrastructure, drive data-driven improvements, and support cross-functional readiness for product launch.

Our Team: You will be part of the OPTO division working closely with R&D, Manufacturing, Quality, and Product Engineering to transfer and scale testing strategies into production. The team focuses on reliable test execution, continuous improvement, and ensuring testability across product lifecycles.

What You Will Do

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable test software and systems to ensure product performance, yield, and reliability.
• Support Design for Testability (DFT) and influence product design to improve testability and manufacturability.
• Partner with R&D, manufacturing, quality, and product engineering to ensure seamless product launch readiness and test transfer to high-volume manufacturing with robust documentation and training.
• Create and deliver statistical reports and analyses (Pareto charts, box plots, Cpk calculations, pivot tables) to inform decisions and drive continuous improvement.
• Lead root-cause analysis for test escapes, yield issues, and equipment challenges and implement corrective actions.
• Own and run daily production/scrap meetings and participate in escalation calls as needed.
• Maintain and manage spare parts activities: obtaining quotes, purchasing, and following up on multiple items to keep equipment running.
• Ensure test equipment uptime and reliability (FT knowledge to keep equipment alive 100% of the time).
• Maintain clean, safe, and organized workspaces and ensure proper use of personal protective equipment in production areas.

Who You Are (Basic Qualifications):

• Degree in Electronic Engineering or Mechatronic Engineering.
• Minimum 5 years of relevant experience in test engineering, test software development, or NPI test roles.
• Strong English communication skills (approximately 90% English proficiency required).
• Experience with statistical data analysis and reporting (Pareto, box plots, Cpk, pivot tables).
• Able and willing to attend escalation calls outside normal hours when required.

What Will Put You Ahead

• Demonstrated experience transferring test processes into high-volume manufacturing with documented training packages.
• Hands-on experience maintaining test equipment and managing spare parts lifecycle.
• Proven ability to lead cross-functional problem solving and implement corrective/preventive actions that improve yield.
• Experience working in an OPTO or semiconductor-like manufacturing environment.
