Role Overview

We are seeking a Staff Manufacturing Test Engineer to own the development, implementation, and deployment of manufacturing functional test modules for d-Matrix PCIe accelerator cards and next-generation server tray products. This is a technical leadership role within the Operations Test Engineering team, working closely with Test Automation Engineers, Manufacturing Quality Engineers (MQE), and our JDM manufacturing partners.

As a Staff-level engineer, you will set the technical direction for manufacturing test strategy, mentor engineers on the team, and drive architectural decisions that scale across product generations.

Responsibilities

Test Development & Execution

• Develop and implement board-level functional test modules for Corsair PCIe accelerator cards, covering power-on sequencing, firmware load, PCIe link training and enumeration, functional validation, and stress/burn-in.

• Architect the manufacturing test strategy for the upcoming server platforms, including system-level integration test, BMC/IPMC firmware validation, and multi-card test orchestration.

• Develop test plans, regression requirements, and test coverage assessments aligned with the Manufacturing Test Requirements plan across the full product lifecycle.

Test Infrastructure & Scalability

• Design a scalable, maintainable test implementation strategy with a focus on automation, standardization, and continuous improvement that reduces manual effort across product generations.

• Analyze test data to optimize manufacturing test efficiency, reduce test times, and identify yield-limiting patterns.

Quality & Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with the MQE team to drive root cause analysis and corrective action for failures during customer POCs and hardware integrations.

• Collaborate with Product Quality Engineering on new product introductions and develop test solutions to enable new technology and form factors.

Manufacturing Partner Engagement

• Deploy new test capabilities at manufacturing sites and provide hands-on training to manufacturing partner teams.

• Triage floor failures.

• On call support for keeping the floor running.

Minimum Qualifications

• BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline.

• 10+ years of experience developing and deploying manufacturing test software in a high-volume hardware manufacturing environment.

• Direct experience with PCIe card, NIC, GPU, or server/storage hardware manufacturing test at the board level.

• Strong knowledge of PCIe protocol fundamentals, board-level power sequencing, and functional test methodologies.

• Proficiency in Python for test automation and data analysis.

• Experience with Linux/Unix environments, shell scripting, and command-line debug tools.

• Familiarity with manufacturing test infrastructure including test fixtures, JTAG/boundary scan, and in-system test methodologies.

• Demonstrated ability to lead technical initiatives, make architectural decisions, and influence cross-functional teams without direct authority.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with high-volume manufacturing floor operations at scale (100K+ units/year).

• Familiarity with OCP hardware specifications or hyperscaler hardware design standards.

• Experience with BMC/IPMC firmware validation, Redfish management interfaces, or server tray-level integration test.

• Proficiency with test data infrastructure, statistical analysis tools (JMP, Minitab, or Python-based equivalents), and SPC/SQC methodologies.

• Demonstrated use of quality tools and methodologies (8D, FMEA, DOE, fishbone analysis) in a manufacturing or engineering environment.

• Track record of scaling test strategies from card-level to system-level products.
