• Define board-level functional test strategy and architecture for new AI server programs.
• Develop, validate, and release Board Level Functional Test (BLT) programs.
• Develop automated functional test sequences and pass/fail criteria.
• Design, integrate, and validate functional test stations and fixtures.
• Optimize test coverage and cycle time.
• Support production test release and engineering documentation.

Test Software Development

• Develop automated test applications using NI TestStand and LabVIEW.
• Develop software modules using Python and C/C++ where applicable.
• Integrate instrumentation, DAQ, and communication interfaces.
• Debug and validate test software throughout NPI and production.

Hardware Validation

• Validate board functionality including power sequencing, DDR, PCIe, Ethernet, NVMe, BIOS, BMC, and firmware.
• Support board bring-up and engineering validation.
• Troubleshoot hardware, firmware, and software related failures.
• Validate coolant distribution unit (CDU), cold plate, and manifold/QD integration on board-level test stations.
• Support leak detection and coolant pressure/flow validation during functional test.
• Coordinate pre- and post-cold-plate test sequencing with Mechanical/Thermal Engineering.
• Troubleshoot thermal and liquid-cooling-related failures during board bring-up and functional validation.

Production & NPI Support

• Support EVT, DVT, PVT, pilot builds, and production ramp.
• Support ECO implementation and product revisions.
• Provide technical support to manufacturing during production.
• Perform Root Cause Analysis using 8D, 5 Why, and Fishbone methodologies.
• Drive First Pass Yield (FPY), yield, and cycle time improvements.
• Implement Statistical Process Control (SPC) and continuous improvement initiatives.

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Electronics, Computer, or Manufacturing Engineering.
• 3-5+ years of experience developing board-level functional test solutions in high-volume electronics manufacturing (E3); 6+ years, including multi-program or cross-site scope, for E4.
• Experience with AI servers, networking, or enterprise computing platforms preferred.
• Hands‑on experience with NI TestStand, LabVIEW, PXI instrumentation, and automated functional test systems.
