What you'll be doing:
Drive PCBA testability (DFT) from schematic and functional reviews for high-volume manufacturing. Work with electrical design team to assess test point and boundary scan coverage, and other DFT techniques into board designs to enhance test coverage and fault detection.
Develop test platforms for initial board bring up and low volume prototype and engineering validation builds. Write test methods and extract metrics using python programming for these test platforms.
Assess contract manufacturing capabilities and define the requirements for in-circuit test (ICT) and functional test (FCT) for high volume manufacturing.
Drive board yield fallout investigations by isolating intermittent, marginal, and low-yield failures using systematic debug methods including debug of power integrity, clocks, resets, boot sequences, and mixed-signal paths.
Correlate ICT/FCT failures with schematic intent, layout, and silicon performance.
Use advanced instrumentation (scopes, logic analyzers, current probes, thermal tools) to capture elusive failures.
Create debug playbooks, DFT guidelines, and failure isolation documentation.
Collaborate with engineering and manufacturing teams to ensure on time delivery with optimum test coverage at lowest cost.
Document test strategies, procedures, and results for internal reference and compliance purposes.
Provide end-to-end support through entire product life cycle from NPI (New Product Introduction) to high volume manufacturing.
What you'll have:
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or equivalent experience
7+ years of hands-on experience in board bring up and validation
DFT experience and strong practical knowledge for ICT and FCT
Expert ability to read and critique schematics and PCB layouts
Deep understanding of analog, digital, power, and mixed-signal systems and boundary scan (JTAG)
Proven track record of improving yield through DFT and failure analysis learnings
Hands-on experience in Python programming for test automation
