• Set up, validate, maintain, and improve production test stations, fixtures, and supporting processes.
• Execute test and calibration procedures during NPI, pilot builds, and volume production.
• Troubleshoot test failures and manufacturing issues and drive root cause analysis and corrective actions.
• Partner with CM/EMS providers and cross-functional teams including Systems, Hard-ware, Quality, Reliability, and Operations to support production readiness and ongoing manufacturing.
• Drive yield improvement, test robustness, and continuous improvement initiatives across manufacturing test operations.
• Maintain test documentation, work instructions, and engineering change control records.
• Participate in DFT and DFM reviews to improve manufacturability, test coverage, and product readiness.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Optical Engineering, Physics, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 8+ years of experience in manufacturing, production test, or test engineering, ideally in optics, sensors, automotive electronics, or similarly complex hardware environments.
• Hands-on experience with automated test systems, lab instrumentation, and production fixturing.
• Strong understanding of electro-optical systems, lasers, photodetectors (including APD and SPAD), and optical fundamentals.
• Experience using data analysis and statistical methods to improve yield, reliability, and test performance.
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced production or manufacturing environment.
• Willingness to support builds and issue resolution at world wide CM/EMS partner sites as needed.
• Must be able to lift up to 50lbs

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with LiDAR systems, optical sensors, or related electro-optical products.
• Familiarity with laser-based systems, photodetectors, and optical alignment processes.
• Exposure to automotive manufacturing, safety-critical systems, or high-reliability products.
• Experience working with contract manufacturers or EMS partners in a production
