Description
Product, Testing & Quality Engineer
Location: Ra’anana, Israel
About Us:
DriveNets is a leader in disaggregated high-scale networking solutions for service providers and AI infrastructures. Founded in December 2015, DriveNets created a radical new way to build networks by adapting the architectural model of the cloud to telco-grade networking. This solution accelerates network deployment, improves the network’s economic model, and radically simplifies network operations. With customers including Comcast, Orange, and KDDI - over 80% of AT&T’s network traffic now runs through a disaggregated core powered by DriveNets software. DriveNets Network Cloud-AI solution, based on the same technology, was introduced to the market in 2023, providing the highest-performance Ethernet-based AI networking solution, and is already deployed by Hyperscalers, NeoClouds and Enterprises. Raising over $587 million in three funding rounds, DriveNets continues to deploy the most innovative network infrastructure and is looking for the most talented people to be part of this journey.
The Role:
This is a high-impact technical leadership role designed for a "star" engineer who can own the entire hardware lifecycle. You will be responsible for stabilizing products from the first prototype through mass production, defining validation strategies, and managing the technical deployment of test stations at global Contract Manufacturers (CMs). You will bridge the gap between R&D, manufacturing, and field reliability to ensure world-class product quality.
Core Responsibilities
- Outsourced Station & Vendor Management: Lead the design, setup, and qualification and scale-up of test stations (ICT/JTAG/FT) and debug infrastructure at CM/Outsource partners.
- End-to-End Product Stabilization: Own the hardware stabilization process from the first build unit through ramp-up and transition to high-volume production.
- Validation & Automation Strategy: Build comprehensive validation plans, review hardware designs for testability (DFT), and integrate automated software tests into production lines.
- Advanced System Debugging: Develop hardware debug tools and methodologies to perform deep-dive failure analysis and root cause investigations on systemic issues.
- Yield & Data Intelligence: Monitor and optimize yield performance using data analysis techniques to identify trends and failure modes during the NPI lifecycle.
- Field & RMA Ownership: Lead technical investigations into field-deployed systems, analyzing diagnostics and telemetry to evaluate RMA claims and provide actionable engineering recommendations.
- Cross-Functional Leadership: Collaborate with Mechanical NPI, Test Development, R&D, and manufacturing partners to align test requirements with business needs.
- Statistical Process Control (SPC) Implementation: Establish and monitor SPC for critical manufacturing parameters to identify process "drifts" before they result in actual product failures.
- Root Cause Corrective Action (RCCA): Lead the formal RCCA process for any manufacturing escapes, ensuring that the "fix" is implemented both in the hardware design and the test software.
- Vendor Quality Engineering (VQE): Act as the technical quality lead for CMs and outsourced station builders, defining the "Golden Unit" standards and qualification protocols for all production lines.
