  • Generate and verify test data, including nets, components, test points, and electrical characteristics.
  • Set up and modify test parameters to provide reliable testing while minimizing false failures.
  • Debug and troubleshoot test-program problems and determine whether failures are caused by the PCB, test program, fixture, equipment, or other factors.
  • Perform program verification and validation before releasing test programs to production.
  • Maintain existing test programs when customers make engineering changes or when PCB revisions are released.
  • Support prototype, quick-turn, repeat, and production jobs as required.
  • Work with CAM and Engineering personnel to resolve discrepancies between customer data and manufacturing requirements.
  • Assist Test Technicians with troubleshooting difficult or unusual test failures.
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area.
  • Follow all company quality, safety, and manufacturing procedures.
  • Ability to interpret PCB CAD data, netlists, schematics, and manufacturing documentation.
  • Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to identify discrepancies between customer data and manufactured PCB requirements.

  • Experience in a PCB fabrication or printed circuit board manufacturing facility.
  • Knowledge of PCB CAM systems and manufacturing data.
  • Experience troubleshooting fixtures, test equipment, and electrical test failures.
  • Familiarity with IPC standards and PCB manufacturing terminology.
  • Experience with automation, scripting, or programming is a plus.
  • Experience working with Genesis or other PCB CAM systems is a plus.

Key Performance Expectations

The successful candidate will be expected to:

  • Minimize test-program-related production delays.
  • Maintain a high level of program accuracy and test coverage.
  • Quickly troubleshoot and resolve test issues.
