Role Overview We are seeking a Staff Manufacturing Test Engineer to own the development, implementation, and deployment of manufacturing functional test modules for d-Matrix PCIe accelerator cards and next-generation server tray products. This is a technical leadership role within the Operations Test Engineering team, working closely with Test Automation Engineers, Manufacturing Quality Engineers (MQE), and our JDM manufacturing partners. As a Staff-level engineer, you will set the technical direction for manufacturing test strategy, mentor engineers on the team, and drive architectural decisions that scale across product generations. Responsibilities Test Development & Execution - Develop and implement board-level functional test modules for Corsair PCIe accelerator cards, covering power-on sequencing, firmware load, PCIe link training and enumeration, functional validation, and stress/burn-in. - Architect the manufacturing test strategy for the upcoming server platforms, including system-level integration test, BMC/IPMC firmware validation, and multi-card test orchestration. - Develop test plans, regression requirements, and test coverage assessments aligned with the Manufacturing Test Requirements plan across the full product lifecycle. Test Infrastructure & Scalability - Design a scalable, maintainable test implementation strategy with a focus on automation, standardization, and continuous improvement that reduces manual effort across product generations. - Analyze test data to optimize manufacturing test efficiency, reduce test times, and identify yield-limiting patterns. Quality & Cross-Functional Collaboration - Partner with the MQE team to drive root cause analysis and corrective action for failures during customer POCs and hardware integrations. - Collaborate with Product Quality Engineering on new product introductions and develop test solutions to enable new technology and form factors. Manufacturing Partner Engagement - Deploy new test capabilities at manufacturing sites and provide hands-on training to manufacturing partner teams. - Triage floor failures. - On call support for keeping the floor running. Minimum Qualifications - BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline. - 10+ years of experience developing and deploying manufacturing test software in a high-volume hardware manufacturing environment. - Direct experience with PCIe card, NIC, GPU, or server/storage hardware manufacturing test at the board level. - Strong knowledge of PCIe protocol fundamentals, board-level power sequencing, and functional test methodologies. - Proficiency in Python for test automation and data analysis. - Experience with Linux/Unix environments, shell scripting, and command-line debug tools. - Familiarity with manufacturing test infrastructure including test fixtures, JTAG/boundary scan, and in-system test methodologies. - Demonstrated ability to lead technical initiatives, make architectural decisions, and influence cross-functional teams without direct authority. Preferred Qualifications - Experience with high-volume manufacturing floor operations at scale (100K+ units/year). - Familiarity with OCP hardware specifications or hyperscaler hardware design standards. - Experience with BMC/IPMC firmware validation, Redfish management interfaces, or server tray-level integration test. - Prof
