• Define the architecture and technical roadmap for manufacturing test systems
• Develop scalable test strategies to support a product from the NPI build to full mass production and sustaining phases
• Define the appropriate balance of structural, functional, performance, reliability, environmental, calibration, and inspection test strategies
• Establish common and scalable test frameworks, interfaces, standards, and design patterns for manufacturing tests
• Drive design-for-testability (DFT) and design-for-manufacturability (DFM) requirements into new product development.
• Ensure test architectures support global manufacturing scalability and product variants
• Define manufacturing test processes and methods for new radar technologies
• Serve as the technical authority for complex manufacturing test architecture and system-level decisions
• Lead resolution of difficult technical problems involving hardware, software, instrumentation, fixtures, automation, and manufacturing systems
• Evaluate emerging test technologies and determine their applicability to manufacturing test processes
• Drive integration between tes
