Technical Team Lead (ATE)

We are looking for a Technical Team Lead (ATE) to lead the development of automated test systems and drive the technical strategy of product testing in a manufacturing environment.
This role combines deep technical expertise with leadership responsibility. You will define the architecture of test solutions, make key engineering decisions, and grow a team of engineers. Your scope will cover the full testing lifecycle — from design analysis to manufacturing support and process optimization.
The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with ATE in production, understands DFT principles, and can build scalable and efficient test solutions.

Responsibilities:

1. Technical Strategy & Architecture
Define test strategy (ICT / FCT / EOL) and ATE architecture
Establish approaches for test coverage, fault isolation, and DFT
Define engineering standards and best practices
2. Leadership & Team
Lead and develop a team of test engineers
Provide mentoring, design reviews, and technical guidance
Make engineering decisions and trade-offs
3. Test Development
Oversee development of test systems (fixtures, software, data infrastructure)
Conduct DFT reviews with hardware teams
Ensure production readiness of test solutions
4. Manufacturing & Optimization
Support NPI → mass production transition
Collaborate with manufacturing and contract manufacturers
Optimize test time, yield, and line efficiency
Lead root cause analysis
5. Data & Performance
Analyze test data (yield, failure trends)
Define KPIs and drive continuous improvement

Requirements:

1. Experience
5+ years in test engineering (PCBA / manufacturing / product)
2+ years of technical leadership experience
Hands-on experience with ATE in production
2. ATE & Test Systems
ICT / FCT / EOL testing
Test fixtures and test infrastructure
Test coverage, fault isolation, DFT
3. Manufacturing
NPI → mass production
Yield management, test optimization, line balancing
Experience working with contract manufacturers
4. Embedded Systems
Interfaces: UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, Ethernet
Firmware flashing (secure flashing is a plus)
Understanding of bootloaders and production firmware flows
5. Data & Metrics
Yield analysis, failure Pareto
KPI definition, SPC, GR&R

We offer:

Competitive compensation and transparent conditions
Military reservation (booking)
Paid vacation and sick leave
Health insurance
Opportunity to influence technical decisions and product architecture
Work with modern manufacturing environments and test systems
Professional growth and development support
Open culture and a strong engineering team
