About OLIX
AI is growing faster than any technology in history and the explosion in demand has created a massive infrastructure gap; we can no longer build chips or power stations fast enough to keep up. The industry is still leaning on a ten-year-old hardware blueprint that has reached its limit. A new paradigm that is faster and more efficient will be the biggest economic opportunity of the next century and create the most important company of the next decade. The OLIX Decode Accelerator 1 (DX-1) is the first accelerator architected specifically for decode. Rack-scale co-design of logic, data movement, packaging, optics and interconnect enables a step change in system level performance.
The Role
We’re looking for a Director of Test Engineering to develop and industrialize the test solutions required to support OLIX’s next-generation AI computing solution. You’ll own manufacturing test strategy, test architecture, equipment, automation, and test processes across component, subsystem, and final product test, ensuring scalable test capability that meets quality, coverage, cycle time, and cost objectives from NPI through high-volume manufacturing.
Key Responsibilities
Develop manufacturing test strategy: Define the end-to-end manufacturing test strategy, architecture, coverage, and requirements across component, subsystem, and final product test.
Develop and qualify test solutions: Design, integrate, validate, and qualify test equipment, fixtures, instrumentation, software, and automation required for production.
Deliver production test readiness: Partner with Engineering, NPI, Quality, Industrial Engineering, and manufacturing partners to develop test processes and ensure test capability is ready for manufacturing launch.
Optimize test performance: Improve test coverage, repeatability, throughput, cycle time, yield, and cost while reducing false failures and unnecessary test content.
Scale test manufacturing capability: Deploy, qualify, and sustain test solutions with manufacturing partners to support production ramp and high-volume manufacturing.
