Sr. Manufacturing Test Engineer, AWS Rack Mfg Operations

About the Role AWS Rack Manufacturing is part of AWS Infrastructure Services responsible for the design, planning, delivery, and operation of AWS global infrastructure. This role supports FA&T operations for enterprise hardware products, including servers, storage, networking, and AI accelerator platforms, to ensure world-class quality, throughput, and on-time delivery across multiple facilities. You will own the end-to-end manufacturing test ecosystem and collaborate with Hardware Engineering and NPI Test teams to translate testing methodology into production. Travel to sites across multiple locations (roughly 25%) is expected. What You'll Do

• Own and Support the Test Ecosystem: Architect, develop, and maintain the manufacturing test infrastructure for AI server hardware products, spanning board-level validation through full rack integration and networking.
• Build and Scale Test Software: Design and maintain production test software and automation frameworks using Python, Bash, and related tooling, including test sequencing, equipment control, data collection, and reporting pipelines.
• Drive Automation & Self-Remedy: Develop automated test processes and self-healing capabilities that reduce manual intervention, increase throughput, and improve first-pass yield across the production line.
• Define Test Strategy: Establish modular test strategies, define pass/fail limits, and implement statistical process controls (GR&R, Cp/Cpk, correlation analysis) to ensure product quality at scale.
• Analyze Production Data: Compile and analyze test data using automated reporting systems and exploratory analysis techniques to identify trends, root-cause failures, and drive corrective actions.
• Own Uptime & Yield: Monitor functional test yield across shifts, lead triage efforts for test-station failures, and drive weekly production quality reviews with cross-functional partners.
• Collaborate Across Teams: Work closely with hardware design, firmware, process engineering, quality, and operations teams to ensure test requirements are aligned and products are designed for efficient, high-quality manufacturing.
• Guide Fixture & Infrastructure Design: Partner on test fixture design and procurement, ensuring alignment to cost, scalability, and schedule requirements; engage in RFQ processes for optimal end-to-end test solutions. What We're Looking For
• Thrives at the intersection of hardware, software, and production operations; owns the end-to-end manufacturing test ecosystem from early prototype builds through high-volume production and sustaining across server (L10) and rack-level (L11/L12) integration.
• Experience designing, building, and maintaining production test software and automation frameworks using Python, Bash, and related tooling, including test sequencing, equipment control, data collection, and reporting pipelines.
• Ability to develop automated test processes and self-healing capabilities that reduce manual intervention, increase throughput, and improve first-pass yield across the production line.
• Define modular test strategies, pass/fail limits, and implement statistical process controls (GR&R, Cp/Cpk, correlation analysis) to ensure product quality at scale.
• Analyze production data using automated reporting systems and exploratory analysis techniques to identify trends, root-cause failures, and drive corrective actions.
• Monitor functional test yield across shifts, lead triage efforts for test-station failures, and drive weekly production quality reviews with cross-functional partners.
• Collaborate with hardware design, firmware, process engineering, quality, and operations teams to ensure test requirements are aligned and products are designed for efficient, high-quality manufacturing.
• Guide fixture and infrastructure design and procurement, ensuring alignment to cost, scalability, and schedule requirements; engage in RFQ processes for optimal end-to-end test solutions.
• Travel to multiple locations as needed (approximately 25%).
