Test Engineer - Flying Probe and ICT

• 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.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering Technology, or a related technical field.
• Preferred: 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.
• 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 complete structured internal training programs tailored to bring them up to proficiency in FPT and ICT methodologies within a defined timeframe.
• 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., Please be aware that this position may require access to technology, software, or technical data that is subject to U.S. export control laws.
