Mechanical Test Engineer

Develop testing strategies for electrically testing high speed data cables. The test strategies will support manufacturing of High Speed cable assemblies based on standards such as Ethernet, InfiniBand, Fiber Channel, PCIe, SAS, SATA, etc. Evaluate mechanical test requirements that will prove cable designs and manufacturing processes produce high speed data cables meet or exceed the customer expectations.

Review and debug test fixture designs and approve modifications suggested by team members to ensure that testers meet performance requirements as per industry and customer specifications. Review and/or generate 3D CAD models, engineering documentation, bill of materials, assembly and components drawings as necessary.

The Test Engineering team is a global team that is responsible for designing and implementing production test strategies. This team of engineers is empowered to lead and drive teams through failure investigations and overcoming manufacturing barriers to ensure quality products are delivered while exceeding customer satisfaction.

• Develop production test strategies to support global manufacturing of high-speed data cables.
• Develop, integrate, and make software upgrades to test systems used across multiple manufacturing regions including China, India, Mexico. Must coordinate software development activities within the design center departments including product development, manufacturing, marketing, quality, etc.
• Work closely with multifunctional teams to ensure global deployment of automated production test systems for cable assembly products. Direct production test resources to ensure compliant use of deployed test systems.
• Create and execute test plans, conduct requirements reviews, perform test verification and validation, analyze results and document results.
• Create test process documentation, specifications, and work instructions.
• Work with manufacturing engineering and fixture design engineering to support DFM and manufacturing processes setup, supports quality function, supports sourcing team in firming up supply chain solutions.
