About this role
Our team members are passionate, driven and up for a challenge. If you have ambition to make a difference, then please read on. Purpose of the role To develop, maintain and improve In-Circuit Test systems, production test processes and test fixtures for printed circuit board assemblies. The role supports manufacturing teams through hands-on problem solving, maintaining production test equipment and fixtures, and improving test reliability and first-pass yield on the shop floor.
Key Responsibilities
• Design, develop, maintain and improve In-Circuit Test programmes, fixtures and production test processes for PCB assemblies. • Support new product introduction by defining suitable production test methods and ensuring test readiness before release to manufacture. • Troubleshoot and resolve issues with test equipment, test fixtures and PCB assemblies to support efficient production and high first-pass yield. • Work closely with production operators, technicians, quality and design teams to improve test coverage, product reliability and ease of manufacture. • Analyse test data, identify trends and provide clear feedback to support yield improvement and root cause analysis. • Maintain ICT equipment, test fixtures and related documentation, ensuring systems remain safe, reliable and suitable for production use. • Document test procedures, test changes, fault findings and improvement actions to support traceability and knowledge sharing. • Develop and maintain software for in-house production tracking and test-related systems, including applications using MS Visual Basic, MS SQL and NI LabVIEW.
Attributes Criteria Relevant Experience
• Practical experience in electronics and software development, including LabVIEW. • Experience in a manufacturing, electronics production or production engineering environment. • Experience working with In-Circuit Test platforms such as Keysight, Teradyne or similar automated test systems is preferred. • Experience supporting yield improvement, root cause analysis or continuous improvement activities is preferred. • Exposure to CAD, PCB design tools or test fixture design is preferred. • Programming experience in LabVIEW, Python, C#, Visual Basic, Embedded C or C is preferred
Education and Training BEng Degree in electronics, electrical engineering or a related discipline.
Skills, abilities and specialist knowledge
• Strong understanding of analogue and digital electronic circuits. • Practical fault-finding ability at PCB assembly level, with confidence interpreting test results and technical information. • Methodical approach to problem solving, with strong analytical skills and attention to detail. • Good communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to work effectively with engineering, production, quality and technical teams. • Willingness to develop skills in automated test systems, test software, fixture design and production engineering processes. • Appreciation of mechanical engineering principles, especially where they apply to test fixture design, build and maintenance.
