Electrical Test Engineering Manager

• ◆Own high-volume production test: yield, coverage, escape rate, first-pass yield, tester throughput, and tester uptime; drive cross-functional root cause with CAM, PCB operations, and SMT.
• ◆Build and lead a team of engineers and specialists: hire, develop, and set performance expectations.
• ◆Own test fixture and rack design for multi-unit production test: mechanical design of fixtures and racks that hold and present multiple units, plus the electrical interface, designed for production rate, changeover, and durability.
• ◆Own test PCBA design and release: schematic, layout, bring-up, and fabrication/assembly of boards used in the test process.
• ◆Set the bar for test programs, fixtures/racks, test boards, and equipment (ICT / Teradyne, flying probe, and related GSE); sign production readiness for new products and panel revisions.
• ◆Set priorities and capacity across new-product introduction, sustaining, and debug.
• ◆Provide leadership a clear operating picture: staffing, yield, downtime, and throughput.
• ◆Partner with electrical test leaders at other SpaceX factories to transfer working production test capability.
• ◆Travel to other sites as needed; this role is based on site in Bastrop.
