This highly technical role involves developing, qualifying, and deploying In-Circuit Test (ICT), Manufacturing Defect Analyzer (MDA), and Boundary Scan Test (BST) solutions for complex Printed Circuit Board Assemblies (PCBAs). As a member of the PCBA Advanced Process Technology Team, you will collaborate with Design Engineering, Operations Engineering, external manufacturing partners, and test suppliers worldwide. You will help bring new hardware products from design through manufacturing qualification and high-volume production, while continuously improving test coverage, yield, quality, efficiency, and throughput throughout the product lifecycle.
Responsibilities
Develop, debug, qualify, and optimize ICT, MDA, and Boundary Scan test programs across commercial test platforms, including Agilent, Teradyne, and TRI
Define requirements and review test fixture hardware designs for technical performance, quality, manufacturability, and cost
Establish and approve preventative maintenance requirements for production test fixtures, including probe replacement cycles and other critical maintenance activities
Participate in DFT reviews and use coverage analysis and CAM software tools to evaluate test access and maximize test coverage
Recommend design and test improvements to optimize manufacturing test effectiveness
Analyze PCBA test failures to identify defects such as shorts, opens, missing components, and incorrect component values
Establish PCBA ICT, MDA, and Boundary Scan test strategies and ensure alignment with upstream AOI/AXI inspection and downstream board functional testing
Direct and manage external manufacturing and test partners through the development, qualification, implementation, and approval of PCBA test hardware and software solutions for volume production
Ensure test fixtures, programs, processes, and technical and quality deliverables are qualified in alignment with new product schedules
Audit and evaluate ICT and Boundary Scan processes using manufacturing quality and process capability methods, including yield analysis, GR&R, and Cpk
Partner with suppliers to improve test yield, efficiency, capacity, throughput, quality, and cost throughout the product lifecycle
Work across Design, Operations, Quality, and supplier teams to drive timely Root Cause Corrective Action (RCCA) for PCBA test process quality issues during NPI and sustaining production
Partner closely with Design Engineering, Operations Engineering, Quality, contract manufacturers, and test suppliers to resolve complex technical and manufacturing challenges
