  • Drive innovative material, design, or process solutions to meet stringent OSP reliability requirements
  • Benchmark new technologies, evaluation methods, and industry best practices to strengthen product performance
  • Work closely with Product Management, Quality, Operations, and Supply Chain to ensure seamless development flow
  • Lead design reviews, risk assessments (DFMEA, PFMEA), and readiness gates throughout development
  • Provide senior‑level mentorship and technical guidance to engineers, lab personnel, and technicians
  • Generate high‑quality engineering reports, summaries, and technical justifications for internal and external audiences
  • Ensure all technical work meets compliance expectations for GR standards, customer audits, and QMS requirements
  • Maintain complete, auditable documentation of test methods, configurations, and results
  • Identify opportunities to accelerate product development through automation, advanced analysis, or improved evaluation methods
  • Lead Kaizen projects targeting cycle time reduction, increased test throughput, or improved reliability prediction models
  • Introduce data‑driven methodologies and digital tools for test execution, reporting, and traceability

Requirements
