· Set up, install, and qualify optical transceiver test systems for 800G and 1.6T products, including bring-up, calibration, and correlation to golden units/reference standards.
· Own ongoing preventive and corrective maintenance of test equipment to maximize tester uptime and minimize unplanned downtime on the production line.
· Plan and execute Gauge Repeatability & Reproducibility (GR&R) studies to validate measurement system accuracy and repeatability across testers and sites.
· Implement and monitor statistical process control (SPC) on tester performance and test data to detect drift, excursions, and out-of-control conditions.
· Troubleshoot and repair tester hardware, fixtures, and instrumentation (optical/electrical), driving root cause analysis on tester-related failures and false rejects.
· Track and report tester uptime, MTBF/MTTR, and equipment health metrics; drive continuous improvement plans to meet availability and throughput targets.
· Manage tester spare parts, calibration schedules, and preventive maintenance plans to support high-volume manufacturing.
· Collaborate with process and product engineering to support new product introduction (NPI), tester capacity expansion, and test program changes.
· Ensure all tester and test program changes are documented and managed under change control per established QMS requirements.
· Partner with equipment suppliers on tester buy-off, upgrades, and field issue resolution.
· Prepare equipment and test performance reports by collecting, analyzing, and summarizing data and trends.
