Test Program Development & Sustaining (60%)

• According to the test plan report, develop, validate, and deploy new test programs and updates for New Product Introduction (NPI) and mass production (MP).
• Serve as the first line of defense for all test software-related issues on the production line, performing real-time debugging and troubleshooting.
• Maintain and manage the version control of all test scripts, executables, and configuration files used in production.
• Analyze test logs to identify root causes of failures, distinguishing between genuine product faults, test setup issues, or test software bugs.

Test Solution Optimization & Improvement (20%)

• Monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) such as test cycle time, first pass yield (FPY), and equipment downtime.
• Identify bottlenecks in the testing process and develop software optimizations (e.g., refining test sequences, improving code efficiency) to reduce cycle time and increase throughput.
