About the Role

Jabil is seeking a Senior Manager, Manufacturing Test Development to lead the development of rack-scale manufacturing test solutions for hyperscale, AI, and data center infrastructure platforms. This role is crucial for the transformative growth within our Intelligent Infrastructure division, managing the technical direction of rack-scale test software and system integration programs.

Responsibilities

• Ensure the delivery of all manufacturing test solutions for new and sustaining programs for rack-scale AI/ML, GPU, and accelerator-based server and storage platforms.
• Accountable for all onsite customer delivery commissioning tests as an extension of the manufacturing test capability.
• Lead the development and execution of rack-level manufacturing test systems, including software and hardware integration, supporting high-volume production.
• Define and drive the rack test software roadmap, including automation, orchestration, and deployment into factory environments.
• Organize teams and drive solutions for multiple complex problems across hardware, software, firmware, performance, and interoperability domains.
• Ensure strong engineering discipline, test coverage, and execution rigor across all technical deliverables.
• Make key decisions regarding quality, coverage, and features impacting production efficiency and customer experience.
• Influence cross-functional teams, customers, and executive stakeholders to deliver programs within scope, schedule, and budget.
• Understand how technical decisions impact factories, customers, and business outcomes to drive optimized solutions.
• Communicate complex system issues clearly and effectively across all organizational levels.
• Develop, grow, and maintain relationships with team members, leadership, customers, and external partners.
• Provide technical leadership and engineering support to multiple manufacturing sites in system architecture, test infrastructure, and validation strategy.
• Exchange knowledge and best practices across Jabil facilities to ensure global consistency in manufacturing test solutions.
• Guide teams toward resolution of complex product, process, and system-level issues using structured root cause and analytical methods.
• Establish clear measurable goals and objectives to evaluate team and program performance.
• Serve as the primary technical interface for rack-scale manufacturing test development from concept through production delivery.
• Own development and deployment of rack-level test solutions used in manufacturing, including system bring-up, provisioning, and validation.
• Drive resolution of production test failures, yield issues, and system-level defects impacting manufacturing throughput.
• Lead rack test readiness for NPI, including test infrastructure, rack bring-up, power and cooling validation, and deployment into factory environments.
• Review and approve technical risks, test strategies, and mitigation plans across manufacturing programs.
• Provide input and oversight on test plans, validation reports, and lessons learned from production environments.
• Own continuous improvement and preventative actions to address gaps in test processes, automation, and system coverage.
• Manage manufacturing technical and quality excursions through hands-on engineering analysis and coordination with cross-functional teams.
• Provide technical and product subject matter expertise to factories and customers, including system architecture and validation requirements.
• Lead technical RFI/RFQ responses supporting new hyperscale and infrastructure business opportunities.
• Support critical NPI ramps, factory bring-ups, and customer escalations, requiring flexibility and responsiveness beyond standard working hours.

Requirements

• Strong technical program management skills with the ability to lead global cross-functional teams.
• Exceptional knowledge of product development processes, NPI, and high-volume manufacturing environments.
• Experience and deep understanding of server, storage, networking, and rack-scale system architectures, including GPU and PCIe-based accelerators.
• Working knowledge of OS, driver, firmware (BIOS/BMC), and hardware architecture, including system interactions and failure modes.
• Hands-on experience with test automation and system validation tools such as Python, C/C++, Bash, or similar.
• Familiarity with technologies such as IPMI, Redfish, RESTful API, PXE, and Linux-based environments.
• Deep experience in process development and process improvement across engineering and manufacturing functions.
• Strong understanding of rack integration, including power, cooling, and system bring-up processes in data center environments.
• Must be highly detail-oriented.
• Must possess a strong balance of technical expertise, engineering judgment, and business acumen in decision-making activities.
• Requires individuals who thrive in production-driven environments and take accountability for issues through resolution, especially during time-sensitive manufacturing and customer events.
• Success requires high ownership, urgency, and flexibility, including frequent engagement outside of standard business hours to support factory operations, NPI ramps, and customer-critical production events across global time zones.
• This role is not a fit for candidates with only application QA, web, SaaS, or non-hardware testing backgrounds.
