About the role

Manufacturing Test Engineer role focused on defining and executing test strategy for AI hardware systems, from EVT through production, collaborating with design, diagnostics, manufacturing, quality, and external partners to ensure robust, scalable test solutions and production readiness.

Responsibilities

  • Define and drive the manufacturing test strategy for boards, trays, and system-level hardware assemblies across EVT, DVT, PVT, and production ramp.
  • Develop and manage test coverage for ICT / structural test, FCT / board-level functional test, tray-level functional and integration test, and system-level manufacturing and bring-up test.
  • Partner with electrical engineering, system engineering, and diagnostic/software teams to define test requirements, review test scripts and diagnostics, validate failure isolation needs, debug hooks, logging, and production screening strategies.
  • Translate engineering requirements into practical, scalable manufacturing test plans that balance coverage matrices; review and approve EVT/DVT/PVT and production test plans, pass/fail criteria and release gates.
  • Collaborate with system integrators, JDMs, contract manufacturers, and equipment vendors to implement and qualify test stations, fixtures, automation, software, equipment configurations, calibration plans, operator procedures, golden-unit correlation and production workflows.
  • Review and analyze manufacturing test results, logs, diagnostics, yield trends, failure paretos, false-failure rates, and station data to drive corrective actions.
  • Lead or support debug of manufacturing test failures across design, process, fixture, software, component or operator variation.
  • Drive continuous improvement of test processes, coverage, cycle time, parallelization, power/cooling efficiency, station reliability, data quality, and test escape prevention.
  • Ensure manufacturing test readiness for new product introductions including validation plans, GR&R/correlation studies, station acceptance, and production release criteria.
  • Help establish scalable standards and best practices for manufacturing test development across OpenAI’s hardware portfolio.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 5+ years of experience in manufacturing test engineering, product test, NPI test development, or related hardware test roles.
  • Experience with ICT/structural board test, board-level functional test development, tray/chassis/system-level manufacturing test, production diagnostics and debug workflows, test fixture/rack/station development.
  • Experience working with contract manufacturers, JDMs, system integrators, or test equipment vendors to deploy and sustain production test solutions.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with experience reviewing test data, yield trends, and manufacturing metrics.
  • Ability to work cross-functionally with hardware engineering, diagnostics/software, manufacturing, quality, and supplier teams.
