2. Work closely with product design team on manufacturing test requirement and specification and liaise with the external test equipment suppliers for test system development.
3. Review supplier’s technical proposal and optimizing it into full scale for high
durability. Involve at concept and detail design of a manufacturing test equipment with clear understanding of test system architecture design, block diagram, wiring schematic,and system integration.
4. Work on lean manufacturing test strategy compatible with business needs and bringing value to the manufacturing test process.
5. Drive engineering deliverables with great sense of urgency on any productivity issues related to the test and measurement system with the support of the respective cross functional teams internally and externally.
6. Optimise manufacturing test cycle time by streamline manufacturing test script and simplicity of test and measurement design.
7. Driving continuous improvement plan using statistical tools such as CpK analysis to optimize manufacturing test limits.
8. Research and recommend new technologies to improve tester efficiency and
throughput.
9. Work with project management team to deliver test equipment on time and reliably.

10. Work with cross functional RDD, QA, Operation, project management in problem solving related to manufacturing test and measurement system.
Qualifying and commissioning manufacturing test system by using Gauge R&R and or Gauge1.
11. Collaborate with RDD in the early phase of product development and test strategy development.

Requirements:
1. Candidates must possess at a bachelor’s degree in either Electronics or Mechatronic
2. Engineering with at least 10 years of working experience in electronics
manufacturing assembly environment (PCBA and Final Product Manufacturing) with great knowledge and understanding of manufacturing test and measurement system.
3. Good knowledge in PCBA and Electronics circuitry designs. Able to read and
