Manufacturing Test Engineer (pcba Test)

Meta Meta · Big Tech · Shanghai, China +2

Meta is seeking a Manufacturing Test Engineer to drive the development and deployment of hardware test systems with manufacturing partners. This role involves troubleshooting test equipment and automation systems, defining product test strategy, evaluating test equipment, and integrating test systems into factory networks. The engineer will design and document new manufacturing equipment, create test plans, and support NPI and production released systems. Responsibilities include developing and implementing manufacturing test strategy, working with engineering and vendor teams on test fixture design, defining test requirements, troubleshooting issues, and coordinating with suppliers for technical and manufacturing processes. The role requires experience in consumer electronic product development, SMT or SiP testing, test automation, and managing vendor engineers. While the JD mentions integrating AI tools and responsible AI practices, the core function of the role is hardware manufacturing test engineering, not AI/ML development.

What you'd actually do

  1. Development and implementation of manufacturing test strategy during development and production phases of product lifecycle.
  2. Work with Engineering and vendor test teams to design and assemble bench setups and test fixtures
  3. Work with Engineering Team to identify the best supplier/partner to meet product requirements from both technical perspective as well as supply chain and manufacturing considerations
  4. Develop test requirements and methodology with Engineering team, implement manufacturing tests at vendor sites, troubleshoot and solve issues during product development and manufacturing ramp
  5. Interface directly with the Engineering, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Quality, and Vendor teams to assist in the development of test procedures, including First Article, Reliability, Environmental, Production and Final Acceptance Testing
