Senior Manufacturing Test Engineer

About the Role 

As a Senior Manufacturing Test Engineer, you will own manufacturing test strategy and execution for Motive’s hardware products, from new product introduction through sustaining production. You will translate design and manufacturing requirements into robust test solutions that improve product quality, manufacturing yield, and production efficiency. This is an in-person role based in Motive’s Taipei office. 

What You’ll Do 

• Define manufacturing test requirements, coverage, specifications, fixtures, and acceptance criteria for new and sustaining hardware products.
• Lead test development, validation, and production-line bring-up across PCBA, functional, system, and end-of-line testing. Drive manufacturing test readiness during new product introduction and design-to-production transfer.
• Analyze test failures, yield trends, and production escapes to identify root causes and implement corrective actions.
• Develop test processes and data-monitoring methods that improve throughput, reliability, and manufacturing quality. Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, firmware, quality, supply chain, and contract manufacturing teams to resolve complex production issues.
• Document test procedures, troubleshooting methods, and manufacturing controls for internal and external production teams. 

What You’re Looking For 

• 5+ years of experience in manufacturing test engineering for high-volume electronics or hardware products.
• Experience leading manufacturing test development from prototype validation through mass production.
• Strong understanding of PCBA manufacturing, functional testing, test fixtures, calibration, and production-line debugging.
• Proficiency with electrical laboratory equipment and manufacturing test tools.
• Experience using data analysis and quality methods to improve yield, identify process variation, and prevent test escapes.
• Ability to troubleshoot complex electrical, mechanical, and firmware-related production issues independently.
• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, mechanical engineering, or an equivalent technical discipline.
