• Analyze test data, identify anomalies, and document pass/fail results per quality and configuration management requirements
• Troubleshoot and isolate failures to the component, board, or subsystem level, coordinating with engineering on root cause analysis and corrective action
• Read and interpret test procedures, schematics, wiring diagrams, and engineering drawings to ensure correct test configurations
• Perform first article inspections and in-process quality checks
• Maintain accurate test logs, defect records, and traceability documentation
• Support development of new test procedures, fixtures, and process improvements, and ensure test equipment is calibrated per schedule

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 3+ years of experience in production, functional, or acceptance testing of electronic assemblies, PCBAs, or integrated systems
• Proficiency with common test instruments (oscilloscopes, DMMs, signal/function generators, power supplies, spectrum analyzers) and ability to read schematics, wiring diagrams, and test procedures
• Experience documenting test results, generating reports, and maintaining traceability records
• Strong troubleshooting skills, able to isolate failures to the component or subsystem level
• Basic electrical understanding (Ohm's Law, voltage drop, signal integrity, power measurements) and familiarity with common connectors (Molex, Amphenol, TE Connectivity, Hirose)
• Experience with automated test equipment (ATE) or test automation frameworks
• Knowledge of ESD-safe handling practices
• Meticulous attention to detail in executing tests, recording data, and documenting findings
