● Lead the hardware integration and validation of complex laser-based wafer manufacturing systems, including optical, mechanical, electrical, and precision motion subsystems.
● Develop and execute detailed hardware test procedures – from subsystem acceptance tests to system-level validation – ensuring performance meets design and reliability requirements.
● Perform hands-on testing, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis across electrical, mechanical, optical and controls domains.
● Work closely with technicians to ensure consistent build quality, accurate documentation, and reproducible test processes.
● Design and specify test setup, instrumentation and data acquisition requirements needed to validate system functionality and performance.
● Collect, analyze, and interpret test data, identifying trends, deviations, and opportunities for design or process improvements.
● Contribute to the development of automation tools for data collection and test execution (LabVIEW, Python, or equivalent).
● Collaborate with cross functional teams – including mechanical, electrical, optical, and software engineers to resolve integration and performance issues.
● Contribute to design and readiness reviews, providing feedback focused on hardware testability, manufacturability, and serviceability.
