Company

hirify.global designs AI computing systems, advanced semiconductors, and data centre hardware as part of the SoftBank Group.

What you will do

• Define and execute L6 board-level manufacturing test strategies with ODM partners, including ICT, MDA, Board Functional Test, diagnostic coverage, test flow, and failure containment.
• Develop, validate, deploy, and optimize board functional tests, test stations, fixtures, production infrastructure, pass/fail criteria, test limits, data collection, and failure-handling processes.
• Support L10 system-level manufacturing test, including system integration, firmware readiness, thermal and power behavior, I/O functionality, and platform health.
• Specify manufacturing line, station, fixture, tooling, networking, data capture, operator workflow, and maintenance requirements.
• Monitor yield, first-pass yield, retest rates, failure paretos, false failures, and defect escapes; lead root cause analysis and corrective actions.
• Collaborate with hardware, diagnostics, firmware, software, quality, supply chain, operations, and ODM teams through NPI, pilot builds, production ramp, and sustaining manufacturing.

Requirements

• 8+ years of experience in manufacturing test engineering, hardware test engineering, or production test development.
• Experience with high-volume server manufacturing or similar complex compute, networking, storage, or data centre hardware products.
• Strong understanding of ICT, MDA, Board Functional Test, diagnostic execution, and manufacturing defect detection.
• Experience working directly with ODM, CM, or JDM manufacturing partners.
• Hands-on experience with Linux-based test environments, including test execution, scripting, log collection, and failure triage.
• Familiarity with server hardware architecture, including CPUs, memory, storage, networking, BMCs, firmware, power subsystems, and high-speed interfaces.
• Experience defining test fixture requirements and supporting fixture bring-up, validation, and production readiness.
• Strong understanding of first-pass yield, retest rate, defect paretos, failure analysis, and corrective action.
• Ability to review test logs, identify failure signatures, isolate issues, and determine whether failures relate to hardware, firmware, software, test process, or fixture design; strong written and verbal communication skills are required.

Nice to have

• Experience with L6 board-level and L10 system-level manufacturing processes and porting board-level functional tests into system-level environments.
• Familiarity with server diagnostics, BMC interfaces, BIOS/UEFI, firmware update flows, hardware health checks, and system stress testing.
• Experience with Python, Bash, or other scripting languages used in manufacturing test automation.
• Knowledge of manufacturing data systems, test result databases, yield dashboards, and factory analytics.
• Experience with high-volume NPI, EVT/DVT/PVT, pilot builds, and production ramp.
• Familiarity with test coverage analysis, DFT/DFM principles, and manufacturing escape prevention.
• Experience working with global manufacturing teams and offshore ODM sites.
