Flying Probe and ICT Test EngineerJob SummaryThe Test Engineer will be responsible for the development, implementation, and maintenance of In-Circuit Test (ICT) and Flying Probe Test (FPT) programs and hardware for Printed Circuit Board Assemblies (
PCBAs). This role is critical in ensuring the quality and reliability of electronic products by achieving high fault coverage and optimizing test processes in a high-volume manufacturing environment.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities - Test Program Development:
- Design, develop, and debug test programs for bothICT (e.g., Agilent/Keysight 3070)andFlying Probe (e.g., Takaya)equipment.
- Generate and maintain all required test documentation, including test plans, procedures, and troubleshooting guides.
- Collaborate with Design Engineering to defineDesign for Testability (DFT)requirements for new product introductions (NPI) to maximize test coverage .
- Process Optimization and Yield Improvement:
- Monitor and analyze test data and yields (First Pass Yield - FPY) to identify trends and implementcontinuous improvementactions.
- Perform detailed root cause analysis and failure analysis (FA) on non-conforming products and test failures (e.g., No Defect Found - NDF).
- Fine-tune test limits and programs to reduce false failures and improve test cycle time (throughput).
- Equipment Maintenance and Support:
- Perform routine and preventative maintenance, calibration, and minor repairs on ICT and Flying Probe test systems.
- Provide immediate technical support and troubleshooting to production technicians and operators to minimize equipment downtime.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration:
- Work closely with Manufacturing, Quality, and Design teams to resolve assembly defects and systemic product quality issues.
- Train technicians and operators on new test procedures, equipment operation, and troubleshooting techniques.
Required Qualifications - Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering Technology, or a related technical field.
-
- Preferred: Minimum of3+ yearsof hands-on experience in electronic manufacturing, specifically in developing and supporting test systems.
- Demonstrated proficiency with test program development onIn-Circuit Test (ICT)platforms.
- Strong practical experience withFlying Probe Test (FPT)technology and programming.
- Willingness to train: We are open to considering highly motivated candidates with less than 3 years of experience. Successful candidates will be required to participate in and completestructured internal training programstailored to bring them up to proficiency in FPT and ICT methodologies within a defined timeframe.
- Expert ability to read and interpret complexelectrical schematics, Bill of Materials (BOMs), and component datasheets.
- Solid understanding of common electronic components (resistors, capacitors, inductors, ICs) and circuit theory.
- Familiarity with test coverage analysis, statistical process control (SPC), and quality methodologies.
- Proficiency in scripting or programming languages (e.g., Python, C++, or similar) is a plus.
- Strong analytical andproblem-solvingabilities with a structured approach to failure analysis.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills for technical documentation and team collaboration.
