What You’ll Be Doing
- Developing functional test solutions (hardware & software) for electronic assemblies and systems.
- Creating automated test programs using ATE platforms and writing/debugging production test software.
- Integrating and configuring electronic test instrumentation (oscilloscopes, DMMs, power supplies, loads, analysers).
- Producing and maintaining test documentation including test plans, SOPs, and reports.
- Analysing production test data to identify trends, anomalies, and opportunities for improvement.
- Working closely with manufacturing, design, quality, and suppliers to resolve issues and improve test coverage.
- Supporting new product development with DfT/DfM input and prototype test fixture development.
- Improving test efficiency, reliability, and throughput across production lines.
