Make a difference as a Test Manager

As a Test Manager at Krypton Solutions, you will be responsible for leading all test lab operations. You specific responsibilities will be:

Lab Leadership & Team Development

• Lead, schedule, and develop a team of test technicians and test engineers across shifts, setting clear priorities, performance expectations, and development plans.
• Maintain schedule of product due dates and assign work to team to ensure deadlines are met.
• Own lab staffing and headcount planning, including hiring, cross-training, coaching, and performance management.
• Build a lab culture of safety, ESD discipline, accurate documentation, and continuous improvement.

Test Strategy

• Define the test strategy for new products, selecting the right mix of in-circuit, flying probe, and functional test to balance coverage, cycle time, and cost.
• Review customer designs for testability (DFT), recommend test point and access improvements, and report expected test coverage before production launch.
• Oversee development, debug, and release of test programs and fixtures, whether built in-house or sourced through outside fixture vendors.
• Serve as a primary technical contact for customers on test requirements, test procedures, and coverage reports.

Test Operations, Yield & Failure Analysis

• Ensure test capacity keeps pace with the production schedule and resolve bottlenecks that put customer shipments at risk.
• Track and report first-pass yield, retest rates, false failures, and throughput, and drive measurable improvement through data-driven root cause analysis.
• Lead failure analysis on test failures, returns (RMAs), and customer complaints, and present findings and corrective actions to customers and internal leadership.
• Partner with Quality, Process Engineering, and Production to feed test data back into the assembly process and prevent defects at the source.

Compliance

• Maintain test equipment and fixtures through preventive maintenance and calibration programs, keeping equipment records audit-ready.
• Ensure test procedures, records, and work instructions meet customer requirements, IPC workmanship standards, ESD control requirements, and our quality management system.
• Represent the test lab during customer audits, quality system audits, and customer source inspections.

• Experience developing functional test solutions using tools such as NI LabVIEW, TestStand, Python, or C#.
• Strong board-level troubleshooting skills, with fluency in oscilloscopes, DMMs, power supplies, logic analyzers, schematics, and BOMs.
