About the Role

The primary responsibility of this role is to plan, develop and implement assembly fixtures/equipment/lines for new and transferred projects. This position is also responsible to develop and maintain assembly process standardization for control system, in partnership with other development organizations in Asia, North America and Europe in order to minimize cost and maximize effective assembly process. 

What You Will Do

The Test Engineer to deliver efficient and effective test systems to MFG teams and support ED/DV sample according to plan.  This will include but not be limited to the activities below.

Plan and Design Test Systems

• Estimate test strategies and costs during the Request for Quotation (RFQ) phase of new business
• Work with the Design Team to analyze new designs and develop test specifications
• Based on the test requirements, determine the appropriate test strategy, including the required test methods, hardware, and software
• Define test points and conditions for all relevant test, diagnosis and repair functions.
• Act as the main interface with assigned projects for all tests related issues. Review all assemblies for testability and interact with the design to improve test access, coverage, and reduce the cost of test. 

Execute Test System Realization

• Work with suppliers to design and build the systems in a cost-effective manner and to ensure that schedule, cost, and quality objectives are met.
• Conduct detailed test programming using appropriate script languages.
• Ensure that all test strategies and components function correctly via pilot factory processes and verifications.
• Meet all projects requirements for prototype and design verification builds, ensuring that appropriate levels of test systems are available for each phase.
• Ensure that each test system is optimized prior to launch to minimize cycle time, minimize false failures, and maximize effective test coverage.
• Document the final system.

Execute Test System launch and delivery to production

• Ensure a smooth system installation at the manufacturing site.
• Ensure a thorough system validation at the manufacturing site, including all setup and verification steps.
• Ensure a smooth handover to the manufacturing team, including full training and documentation.
• Monitor performance during launch for a minimum of 90 days using statistical techniques in order to ensure that a capable process is handed over to production.

Series Production Monitoring and Continuous Improvement

• Recognize new requirements and work with production to successfully introduce new test elements during serial production
• Monitor and contribute to the improvement of Test Yields, Test Efficiency, Tester Intermittencies, Electrical Defects, and overall, Tester performance. 

Provide feedback to design on Design for Testability (DFT and database)

• Work closely with Product Design teams during product development in order to provide continuous feedback and help to deliver highly manufacturable and testable products and thus enable high-quality cost-effective production testing processes.

Develop and integrate next generation test technologies

• Support analyze and evaluate technology trends, manufacturing needs and upcoming customer demands.  Based on this, ensure that a test technology roadmap is in place that will support future needs and take advantage of new technologies to ensure long-term sustainable efficiency.
• Facilitate knowledge training/transfer about all aspects of test system to AME test engineers and local factory engineers.
• Performs any other duties as assigned by his/her supervisor to support the company needs.

What You Need to Be Successful

• Eight or more years' experience or equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Experience in launching new products, be familiar with new project development procedure.
• Experience in developing test specification, test solution, test requirements.
• Familiar with DFT/DFM is preferred.
• Experience with embedded SW, different microcontroller platforms (Freescale, Renesas…) and buses (CAN, LIN, MOST…).
• Ability to solve complex problems involved in multiple projects.
• Skilled in English written and oral communications, and teamwork.

Bonus Points if You Have

• Master’s degree in electronic information engineering or equivalent engineering
• Advanced level on test develops related tools (C#, LabVIEW, Test Stand, Supernova. Java).
• RF /ICT(Teradyne) test knowledge.
• R&D knowledge.
• Strong leadership background in test process development
• Ability to communicate effectively within cross-functional teams and as technical expert within assembly process team

What Makes You Eligible

• Be willing to travel up to 10%
• Be willing to work in an office and manufacturing facility
• Successfully complete a background investigation and drug screen as a condition of employment

What We Offer

• Flexible work environment, allowing for full-time remote work globally for positions that can be performed outside a HARMAN or customer location
• Access to employee discounts on world-class products (JBL, HARMAN Kardon, AKG, and more)
• Extensive training opportunities through our own HARMAN University
• Competitive wellness benefits
• Tuition reimbursement
• “Be Brilliant” employee recognition and rewards program
