Test Engineer - Flying Probe and ICT
Sanmina · Carrollton, TX · 2 mo ago
EngineeringFull-time
Responsibilities
- Test Program Development: Design, develop, and debug test programs for both ICT (e.g., Agilent/Keysight 3070) and Flying Probe (e.g., Takaya) equipment.
- Generate and maintain all required test documentation, including test plans, procedures, and troubleshooting guides.
- Collaborate with Design Engineering to define Design for Testability (DFT) requirements for new product introductions (NPI) to maximize test coverage.
- Monitor and analyze test data and yields (First Pass Yield - FPY) to identify trends and implement continuous improvement actions.
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering Technology, or a related technical field.
- Minimum of 3+ years of hands-on experience in electronic manufacturing, specifically in developing and supporting test systems.
- Demonstrated proficiency with test program development on In-Circuit Test (ICT) platforms.
- Strong practical experience with Flying Probe Test (FPT) technology and programming.
- Expert ability to read and interpret complex electrical 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 and problem-solving abilities with a structured approach to failure analysis.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills for technical documentation and team collaboration.
