The Test & Verification Engineer is responsible for defining, executing, and supporting testing and verification activities for power connectors and cable assemblies during production line transfer and sustaining phases. The role ensures that products meet design intent and performance requirements prior to and during ramp-up, while enabling rapid issue detection and resolution in production.
Key Responsibilities:
Define test and verification strategies to support production line transfers and sustaining products
Develop, release, and maintain in-process and end-of-line (EOL) test methods
Design, specify, and support electrical and mechanical test fixtures (continuity, HV, LLCR, pull force, etc.)
Execute and document verification testing for samples, First Articles, and transferred lines
Support root cause analysis by providing test data and failure analysis insights
Coordinate and manage external laboratory testing when required
Ensure test equipment calibration, traceability, and compliance with applicable standards
Support validation of rework methods and corrective actions
Collaborate with Product Development, DFM/DFA, and Process Engineers to ensure test coverage aligns with design and process risks
Scope & Authority:
Ownership of test and verification methods used during line transfer and sustaining
Authority to recommend test improvements and additional verification based on risk assessment
No ownership of customer qualification plans or product specification definition
Success Metrics:
Timely completion of test and verification activities during line transfer
