Summary of Role:

The Director of Test Automation and Data Analytics will lead multiple teams responsible for building next-generation automation platforms tools and utilities for New Product Development and cost and sustaining organizations. This technical leadership role owns the automation ecosystem end to end including test program generation tester-to-peripheral communication test-data infrastructure and machine-learning and agent-driven applications. The Director will assess current capabilities establish the technical strategy and architecture and deliver a multiyear roadmap that supports future products manufacturing scale quality and cost-of-test objectives.

Essential Responsibilities:

• Build a scalable system for Test Automation and Data Analytics Automation. Solution should support multiple different ATE platforms and varied production lines (Digital Mixed-Signal/Analog RF).
• Define and develop Test Method Libraries to enabling re-use standardization and sameness across products and ATE platforms. Reduce / eliminate manual test-engineering workflows by developing and deploying AI agentic test automation solutions.
• Develop Test Program Automation that is capable of handling differentiated test flows and test insertions designed for multiple different market segments (Auto Commercial Industrial) and driven for best-in-class coverage and cost-of-test.
• Automation should go beyond test program generation and across the layers between testers and peripherals (tester / peripheral communications data-transfers etc.).
• Develop automation tools to support various critical activities across NPDE and Cost Entitlement teams (Program Audits Test Time Profilers data-analysis tools GRR Drift analysis Cpks CZ Reports etc.).
• Write and develop application tools sitting on top of the data platforms NPD dashboards Yield / Quality monitoring dashboards outlier screening effectiveness dashboards lot dispositions etc. Develop real-time analytics and decision making tools.
• Create and build applications and automated tools for complex and large data analysis.
• Leverage data from various sources within the manufacturing line analyze and outline opportunities for product cost and product quality improvements.
• Identify / document gaps best practices and lessons learned and feedback to Design DfT and PE NPDE / Cost Entitlement teams to drive for better processes and test methods for future products.

Other Responsibilities:

• Perform all activities in a safe and responsible manner and support all Environmental Health Safety & Security requirements and programs.

Required Qualifications:

Multiple years of combined experience in semiconductor test automation and AI/ML with hands-on production exposure to test-program development ATE platforms and production data flows is key to this role. Candidate should have strong track record of building and shipping automation platforms and data systems that serve production users at scale from architecture to multi-site fanout. He/she should be familiar with AI/ML applied to test and manufacturing data (outlier detection yield analytics adaptive test or automated decisioning) and is expected to be an expert with modern automation and data stacks Python ML frameworks (PyTorch TensorFlow) and cloud-scale data platforms.
