About the Role

We are looking for a highly driven Test Transfer Project Manager to lead and manage semiconductor test transfer projects across global manufacturing sites. In this role, you will coordinate cross-functional teams to ensure successful transfer, qualification, and ramp-up of test solutions while meeting quality, cost, and delivery targets.

You will act as the key interface between R&D, Product Engineering, Test Development, Manufacturing, and Operations teams to ensure smooth industrialization and mass production readiness.

What You Will Do

• Lead end-to-end test transfer projects from planning through qualification and production release.
• Drive project execution to achieve targets related to timeline, quality, yield, cost, and capacity.
• Coordinate transfer of test programs, hardware, and test methodologies between global manufacturing sites.
• Develop detailed project plans, milestones, risk assessments, and mitigation strategies.
• Work closely with Test Development, Product Engineering, QA, Operations, and Supply Chain teams to ensure seamless execution.
• Manage engineering change requests (ECR/ECO) and ensure proper documentation control throughout the project lifecycle.
• Monitor qualification activities including correlation, GR&R, yield validation, and reliability requirements.
• Facilitate communication between Business Groups, R&D centers, and assembly/test sites to ensure smooth product release into high-volume manufacturing.
• Drive problem-solving activities related to test yield, test escapes, tester utilization, and transfer-related technical issues.
• Prepare and present project status updates, gate reviews, and management reports to stakeholders.
• Ensure compliance with internal quality systems, customer requirements, and semiconductor industry standards.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives for test efficiency, cost reduction, and operational excellence.

What You Need to Have

• Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Electrical & Electronics Engineering, Semiconductor Technology, Physics, or related engineering discipline.
• Minimum 5–8 years of experience in semiconductor test engineering, NPI, industrialization, or project management.
• Proven experience managing test transfer, production transfer, or NPI projects within semiconductor manufacturing environments.
• Strong understanding of semiconductor backend processes, Automated Test Equipment (ATE), test methodologies, and qualification flows.
• Experience in cross-site or global project coordination is highly preferred.
• Strong project management skills including scheduling, resource planning, risk management, and stakeholder management.
• Familiarity with quality and reliability requirements such as GR&R, correlation, qualification, and change management processes.
• Knowledge of semiconductor manufacturing flows including assembly, wafer test, final test, and reliability screening.
• Excellent communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills with the ability to influence cross-functional teams.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities in fast-paced manufacturing environments.
• PMP / PRINCE2 certification is an added advantage.
• Fluent in spoken and written English.
