Manage volume test operations at the OSATs to meet production targets.
Work with advanced networking silicon and solve hardware and software problems in close partnership with product development engineering and the OSATs.
Develop test requirements for groundbreaking IP to minimize test overhead both in design and for production.
Develop custom test solutions spanning high power, large dies, and packages to cost-sensitive products.
Partner with the PDE and OSAT teams to transfer the ATE and SLT test programs from the Cisco lab to the production environment.
Be responsible for the prompt resolution of any test issues and drive OSATs to meet metrics for throughput, yield, cycle time, and uptime.
Ensure that the OSAT roadmap and capacity ramp plans align with the Cisco product ramp and manage/maintain the production test hardware.
Evaluate test vendors and make recommendations for alternate site bring-ups and complete the qualification activities.
Provide Engineering support to the Manufacturing Operations team for quarterly planning, ship reviews, and ongoing production optimization.
Partner closely with the Data and Automation Solutions team to perform statistical data/yield/correlation analysis on large data sets to drive test and yield optimization.
