The opportunity
Reporting to the Lead Electronics Engineer, your role will be to design, develop, and deliver high-reliability bed-of-nails test fixtures and ATE interfaces optimized for robust, repeatable PCBA production testing.
Main Responsibilities
- Design and develop bed-of-nails fixtures optimized for probe access, signal integrity, mechanical robustness, and manufacturability.
- Select, integrate, and implement ATE hardware (instrumentation, switching, power, loads) in alignment with defined system requirements and architecture.
- Ensure fixture reliability in production through proper probe selection, contact optimization, wear management, and maintenance strategies.
- Develop and maintain standardized fixture design templates, best practices, and guidelines to enable efficient replication and scalability across test lines.
- Collaborate with mechanical engineering to design fixture housings, alignment mechanisms, and actuation systems ensuring precision and repeatability.
- Define and execute fixture qualification, validation, and bring-up procedures to ensure readiness for production deployment.
- Troubleshoot and optimize fixture and interface performance, addressing contact issues, signal integrity problems, and test stability.
- Support manufacturing operations by resolving fixture-related issues, reducing downtime, and improving test yield and throughput.
- Coordinate with vendors and suppliers to source probes, materials, and specialized components or custom fixture solutions.
- Document fixture designs, interface schematics, and maintenance procedures to ensure knowledge transfer and operational continuity.
Key Requirements
