Test Development Manager - Opto Electronics

Molex possesses a rich heritage in the optical industry.

We provide the highest performing and field-proven optical solutions from components, modules to integrated line-cards.

We provide cutting edge wavelength management and amplifier technologies.

Our comprehensive optical, mechanical, electrical and software integration capabilities enable us to serve the needs of high-density, high-bandwidth, and flexible optical networks.

Our Opto-Electronics team is looking for a Test Engineering Manager to lead Test Engineering and Development for optical transceiver system and parametric testing.

We're looking for a driven and knowledgeable Test Engineering Manager to lead the development of our next-generation optical test platforms.

This will be a hands-on leadership role.

What You Will Do


* Lead and guide a multidisciplinary team through test engineering architecture, integration, and verification of complex optical devices.


* Play a critical role in ensuring the team delivers production and NPI solutions to the highest standards of software development while also helping to shape the future of test development.


* Manage the activities of the team and be responsible for staffing decisions, training, development, and performance management of the staff.


* Deliver software to test requirements, be able to compile and analyze data (JMP, MATLAB), and make recommendations for changes to test methods, equipment, manufacturing processes, or requirements.


* Review and recommend the purchase of test equipment and/or collaborate with external vendors for custom test software/equipment development.


* Build, develop, and evaluate personnel to ensure the efficient operation of the department.

In This Role, You Will


* Lead and Inspire: Manage and mentor a team of software engineers working on test development for advanced PIC based transceiver modules.


* Architect the Future: Oversee test framework design, test requirements, and risk management throughout the product lifecycle process.


* Own the Test Strategy: Develop and execute robust production test systems that are scalable, reliable, well documented, and meet all the test requirements for both specifications and operations expectations.


* Build Smart Tools: Lead test method development, including automated test equipment and simulated use protocols for both module and sub-assembly testing.


* Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work closely with other groups, software development, hardware development, program management, operations and quality teams to ensure all expectations and deliverables are met.


* Solve Complex Problems: Drive root cause analysis (8D) and resolution of test related issues during development and production stages.

Clearly identify the root cause and corrective actions required.


* Ensure Traceability: Maintain clear documented traceability from requirements through design, verification, and deployment.
