We are a global engine providing the end-to-end manufacturing backbone for the world's most essential and innovative brands. Whether it's autonomous vehicles, life-saving medical tech, next-gen aerospace, or AI/cloud infrastructure - our integrated solutions don't just meet standards-they redefine them.

Summary

We are seeking a results-driven, highly technical Test Engineering Supervisor / Lead to oversee technical resolution, diagnostic maintenance, and continuous optimization across our advanced manufacturing test platforms. In this role, you will lead the technical support team in maintaining and troubleshooting high-complexity inspection and test systems-including ICT, FCT, AXI, Flying Probe (FP), and offline IC programming. You will drive advanced failure analysis and root-cause investigations to optimize MTTR and MTBF metrics, manage calibration and preventive maintenance schedules, uphold rigorous regulatory safety standards, and develop technician capabilities to ensure flawless test execution and line uptime.

What You'll Do

Supervise all technical activities, diagnostics, and troubleshooting across manufacturing test platforms, inspection systems, and peripherals (including ICT, FCT, AXI, FP, and offline IC programming).
Manage high-complexity equipment breakdown escalations and perform root-cause failure analysis to deliver robust, long-term engineering solutions that improve MTTR and MTBF.
Identify shop-floor bottlenecks and execute continuous improvement initiatives to enhance equipment reliability, reduce repair times, and eliminate process waste.
Standardize, review, and maintain equipment maintenance, calibration, and troubleshooting procedures, manuals, and work instructions.
Ensure all test processes, machinery, and workstations strictly adhere to corporate safety guidelines and industry regulatory standards.
Supervise, mentor, and evaluate the performance of test technicians and technical support personnel.
Oversee technical training and competency development programs to elevate the team's diagnostic speed and line support efficiency.
Report on equipment KPIs, operational availability, and continuous improvement project milestones during departmental reviews.
Schedule, track, and review preventive maintenance (PM) and calibration cycles across all test and inspection assets.
Monitor critical spare parts inventory levels and initiate timely procurement requests to guarantee minimum downtime.
Enforce and monitor 5S organization and cleanliness standards across all test line setups.
Perform additional engineering supervision and management support duties as assigned.

What You'll Bring

Degree or Diploma in Electrical, Electronics Engineering, or an equivalent technical field.
Minimum 3 years of relevant experience in test engineering or equipment maintenance is preferred (qualified candidates with relevant qualifications but without prior experience are welcome to apply).
Strong foundational knowledge of electronics principles, electronic circuits, and schematic reading.
Practical support and maintenance knowledge of ICT, AXI, Flying Probe, or functional test equipment is highly preferred.
Familiarity with test software, firmware loading, or programming logic is an added advantage.
Demonstrated supervisory, leadership, and team mentoring capabilities.
Hands-on proficiency in using electronic measuring instruments (e.g., oscilloscopes, multimeters, signal generators).
Vendor coordination and procurement negotiation skills for spare parts management.
Proficiency in Microsoft Office or Google Workspace applications.

How to Stand

OutThe ideal candidate combines deep practical expertise in advanced PCBA test platforms (ICT/AXI/FP/FCT) with proven team leadership and diagnostic grit. You stand out through a track record of driving measurable gains in MTBF and MTTR, the ability to rapidly dissect complex schematics and electrical failures, seasoned vendor management for test consumables, and a passion for upskilling technicians into high-performing diagnostic experts.
