About The Position

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

Under supervision and with minimal assistance, the engineer defines, specifies, qualifies, installs, supports, and optimizes manufacturing test processes and equipment. The position focuses on improving productivity, cycle time, yield, test coverage, diagnosability, reparability, test time, and overall equipment effectiveness. It also involves debugging test processes and equipment, analyzing test and yield data, collaborating with engineering and quality teams, and supporting integration of test equipment and information into Manufacturing Execution Systems.

Nice To Haves

• 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.
• Set up, calibrate, and troubleshoot automated test stations and hardware fixtures; hands-on proficiency with Keysight test equipment, signal generators, power supplies, and digital multimeters.
• Debug board-level electrical and component failures using circuit schematics, design of experiments (DOE), and statistical process control (SPC) charts to improve site First Pass Yield (FPY).
• Extract and analyze manufacturing test data to identify board-level process bottlenecks and prepare technical summaries with actionable feedback for process and product engineering teams.

Responsibilities

• Define, specify, qualify, install, support, and optimize manufacturing test processes and equipment under supervision and with minimal assistance.
• Lead test process optimization for assigned equipment in an Operations value stream, focusing on productivity, cycle time, and yield improvements.
• Debug test processes and equipment using design of experiments, tools, and failure analysis methodologies.
• Collaborate with Quality, Process, and Equipment engineers to identify and resolve product, test yield, and performance issues.
• Develop improvement roadmaps for test coverage, diagnosability, reparability, test time reductions, and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
• Analyze yield reports, equipment logs, and product diagnostics to identify sources of yield loss.
• Support process engineers in improving 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.
