Senior Manager, Test Engineering

About the Role

At Digital Dynamics Inc., we’re building complex, high-performance systems and bringing them from concept to volume production at speed. We’re looking for a Senior Manager, Test Engineering who can own test end-to-end and operate as a hands-on leader in a fast-moving environment.

This role is critical to ensuring our products are testable, scalable, and production-ready. You’ll lead test strategy across NPI and manufacturing, while working closely with Engineering, Manufacturing, and Quality to drive alignment, solve problems, and deliver results.

This is not a pure management role—you’ll be expected to stay close to the technical details while leading the team and holding a high bar for execution, communication, and accountability.

What You’ll Own

Test Strategy & Execution

• Own test strategy across PCBA and system-level products from early development through production
• Define test coverage based on product risk, reliability, and cost targets
• Make clear, data-driven trade-offs and align stakeholders quickly
• Drive Design for Test (DFT) early in the product lifecycle

---

Build & Deploy Test Solutions

• Lead development of production test systems, including:
  • Tester architecture (hardware & software)
  • Fixtures and interfaces
  • Automation and test software
  • Debug, bring-up, and release to production
• Ensure test systems are scalable, maintainable, and cost-effective
• Stay hands-on where needed to unblock the team and move quickly

---

NPI to Production Ramp

• Partner closely with NPI teams through EVT, DVT, and PVT builds
• Drive rapid iteration, issue resolution, and test readiness
• Own transition from engineering builds to high-volume manufacturing
• Support sustaining efforts including yield improvement, cost reduction, and test optimization

---

Data, Validation & Continuous Improvement

• Ensure test processes are validated and production-ready (GR&R, Cp/Cpk, correlation)
• Drive strong data integrity, traceability, and feedback loops
• Use data to identify issues, improve yield, and optimize test efficiency
• Define and track key metrics: yield, coverage, cycle time, and throughput

---

CM & Global Manufacturing

• Lead transfer of test solutions to offshore contract manufacturers
• Ensure consistency across sites (documentation, training, change control)
• Support ramp, debug, and yield stabilization at CM partners
• Coordinate tester builds and delivery schedules with internal and external teams

---

Leadership & Cross-Functional Alignment

• Lead and develop a high-performing test engineering team
• Set clear expectations and drive accountability across the team and partners
• Communicate effectively across Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, and leadership
• Be a strong voice in cross-functional discussions—able to push, align, and move decisions forward

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field (Master’s preferred)
• 10+ years in test engineering within electronics or manufacturing environments
• 5+ years leading engineering teams in a fast-paced environment
• Deep experience with:
  • PCBA and system-level testing
  • Automated test systems (hardware & software)
  • NPI through high-volume production
• Proven experience working with and transferring to offshore CMs
• Strong understanding of test validation, statistics, and manufacturing data
• Excellent communication skills—able to work across teams and drive alignment

---

Nice to Have

• Experience with ATE platforms, LabVIEW, Python, or similar tools
• Experience writing SOWs for outsourced test development
• Background in complex systems (semiconductor, robotics, medical devices, or similar)
