Engineer, Test Manufacturing - ICT

About the role

The Engineer, Test Manufacturing accepts, transfers, installs, improves and maintains automatic test equipment and test programs used for product testing and design verification. They also support the test development of the test equipment and processes to ensure robust and high-quality test solutions and final products.

Responsibilities

• Under supervision and with minimal assistance, define, specify, qualify, install, support, and optimize test process and test equipment solutions for manufacturing.
• Lead test process optimization, focusing on productivity improvements to cycle time and yield for a specific set of equipment within an Operations value stream.
• Debug test process and equipment solutions using design of experiments, tools, and failure analysis methodologies.
• Collaborate with Quality, Process, and Equipment engineers to detect and solve product and test yield and performance issues.
• Develop improvement roadmaps for test coverage, diagnosability, reparability, test time reductions, and OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness).
• Analyze and interpret data from yield reports, equipment logs, and product diagnostics to determine sources of yield loss.
• Provide solution support to process engineers to improve detection of known defect types as part of a Process Control plan.
• Support development of test equipment integration into Manufacturing Execution Systems, including yield, tester log, and product parametric information.

Skills

• Structural Process Verification: Configure, maintain, and execute structural In-Circuit Testing (ICT) on Printed Circuit Board Assemblies (PCBAs) to identify component-level defects, opens, shorts, and interconnect integrity issues.
• Automated Test Equipment (ATE) Management: Set up, calibrate, and troubleshoot automated test stations and hardware fixtures, demonstrating hands-on proficiency with Keysight test equipment, signal generators, power supplies, and digital multimeters.
• Yield Optimization & Debugging: Debug board-level electrical and component failures using circuit schematics, design of experiments (DOE), and statistical process control (SPC) charts to drive site First Pass Yield (FPY) metrics.
• Data-Driven Continuous Improvement: Extract and analyze manufacturing test data to pinpoint board-level process bottlenecks, compiling technical summaries to deliver actionable feedback to process and product engineering teams.

Qualifications

• 1 to 3 years of relevant experience.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent combination of education and experience.

Physical Demands

• Duties are performed in a normal office environment.
• May require extended periods of sitting and sustained visual concentration on a computer monitor or detailed data.
• Repetitive manual movements (e.g., data entry, using a computer mouse, using a calculator) are frequently required.
• Occasional travel may be required.
