In this role, work with a team of engineers responsible for designing standardized test equipment used on the shop floor that can be built at scale as per the factory demands for contract manufacturing as well as Kuiper factory locations, optimizing provisioning and testing time by partnering with design engineering and software teams, partner with CM site representatives and provide recommendations for design for manufacturing. In this role you will work across the org with many software and hardware teams identifying requirements, prioritizing critical efforts and providing updates to senior management and stakeholders.

Key job responsibilities include:

• Lead and conduct complex system-level analyses across multiple subsystems to evaluate design alternatives and optimize manufacturing test infrastructure architecture.
• Drive technical strategy and architectural decisions for test systems, balancing performance, schedule, cost, risk, and scalability requirements.
• Develop and implement processes to facilitate communication of system design/architecture with partner teams including contract manufacturers, software teams, and hardware engineering.
• Lead technical risk assessments and failure mode identification for manufacturing test systems, establishing test strategies and acceptance criteria.
• Derive and synthesize requirements for system efficiency, operational excellence, and user experience across the manufacturing test infrastructure.
• Identify and frame needs for analyses that balance impact and feasibility, conducting trade space studies to optimize test system design.
