each one of them. Standardize specifications and process controls based on best practices. Developa tool and methodology where lessons learned are written, stored and used to troubleshoot future,similar issues. Reduce test cost by consolidating testers, increase OEE, reduce consumables and maintenance cost and have a good control of hardware inventory. Audits Final test subcons regularly.

Key Responsibilities and Accountabilities:

1. Monitors daily the test yields and output and work on resolving issues such as contact

failures as needed on all test sites.

2. Provide technical support to test sustaining engineers when major issues erupt. Be there

physically on the concerned site if issues take a long time to resolve.

3. Have a plan to improve test cost and execute it. This may include test consolidation.

4. Be involved in test price negotiations and regularly find ways to reduce cost further.

5. Work with Test Development Engineering in improving test time, test cost, and ensure his

team provide full support including new product testing.

6. Meet with the subcon Test management and work on a resolution when line process and

control issues persist such as Contacts process controls.

7. Resolve chronic testing issues by analyzing the issues and execute corrective and preventive

actions with the Test Sustaining Engineer.

8. Work closely with Supply Chain in meeting the expected test output and help resolve issues

as needed.

9. Provide detailed updates to supervisor for better support and management understanding.

10. Improve systems as needed, such as SYL/SBL, PAT, yield tracking and analysis.
