The Test Manager is responsible for planning, implementing, and overseeing all testing activities to ensure product quality and compliance with industry standards. This role involves managing a team of test engineers, developing test strategies, and collaborating with design, production, and quality teams to deliver reliable electronic products
What you’ll own (mission)
- Lead and scale the Test Engineering function for board & system-level production to ensure first-pass yield, reliability, and timely ramps to volume.
- Deliver robust test strategies (ICT, AOI, X-Ray, functional, boundary-scan, system test), ATE infrastructure, and automation to meet product quality and throughput targets.
- Be the primary technical contact for customers and cross-functional stakeholders on test readiness, failure analysis, and continuous improvement.
- Build a Solid technical capability in team who thrives in upcoming 5G-6G telecommunication and AI enabled Networking products.
Key Responsibilities
Technical Leadership & Delivery
Define and implement test strategies (ICT, AOI, X-Ray, functional, boundary-scan, system test) and test coverage targets for new product introductions (NPI) and production.Oversee development, validation, and deployment of test programs on ATE platforms, lead test fixture & handler design reviews.Coordinate with suppliers and customers for test requirements.Drive DFT best practices, test coverage analysis, and design-for-testability recommendations with product engineering.People & Operational Management
Lead a team of Test Engineers and Technicians (hiring, mentoring, performance management).Set measurable KPIs (DPPM, first pass yield, cycle time, test coverage, mean time to detect / resolve failures) and report program readiness metrics to stakeholders.Manage departmental budget for test equipment, spares, and tooling.NPI & Customer Engagement
Act as test point of contact during NPI and ramp phases : review test plans, participate in design reviews, and lead test validations.Present test readiness and improvement plans to customers and internal leadership.Collaborate with Quality and Production to analyze failure trends and implement corrective actions.Continuous Improvement & Safety
Drive lean test processes, automation of manual steps, and test data analytics to reduce cost and cycle-time.Ensure compliance with safety, security, and site procedures.Success Metrics (what success looks like in 6 months)
Achieve targeted first pass yield and DPPM targets for assigned program(s).Deploy validated ATE and test programs for at least one NPI to production readiness.Reduce average test cycle and demonstrate measurable cost / scrap reduction.Build and certify a cross-functional team capable of leading sustained volume production.Meet or exceed Customer Delivery dates with on time execution of test strategy and project management .Required (Must-have)
Bachelor’s degree in electrical / Electronics / Mechatronics or Mechanical Engineering.15+ years of test engineering experience in EMS / semiconductor / board manufacturing; minimum 3 years in a managerial or lead role.Hands-on experience with ATE platforms, test program development, fixture / harness design, and DFT practices.Strong experience with failure analysis and test data analytics.Excellent stakeholder and customer-facing communication skills.Ability to work on-site in Pune with flexibility to support multi-site operations; up to ~10–20% travel (supplier / customer visits).Preferred (Nice-to-have)
Experience with TRI, Key Sight, Teradyne, Advantest, Test Stand, LabVIEW, or Python-based test automation.Exposure to high-volume server / datacenter or GPU-level test programs.Experience in cost reduction programs, lean manufacturing, and reliability test programs.Master’s degree or relevant certification in test engineering.Why JabilCertified as “ Great Place to Work ” & “ Best Workplace -In Electronics ”.We Follow Open Communication and Encourage our employees to be part of our growth.We offer fast career growth, global program exposure, latest and greatest technology exposure, huge learning opportunity and empowerment to “Make Difference”.Employee Connect-Collaborate-Celebrate work environment.Performance and appreciation Rewards.Education Assistance Programs.Multiple Employee supporting Policies covering medical assistance.
