Flying Probe and ICT Test Engineer

Job Summary

The Test Engineer will be responsible for the development, implementation, and maintenance of In-Circuit Test (ICT) and Flying Probe Test (FPT) programs and hardware for Printed Circuit Board Assemblies ( PCBAs ). This role is critical in ensuring the quality and reliability of electronic products by achieving high fault coverage and optimizing test processes in a high-volume manufacturing environment.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and debug test programs for both ICT (e.g., Agilent/Keysight 3070) and Flying Probe (e.g., Takaya) equipment.
• Generate and maintain all required test documentation, including test plans, procedures, and troubleshooting guides.
• Collaborate with Design Engineering to define Design for Testability (DFT) requirements for new product introductions (NPI) to maximize test coverage.
• Monitor and analyze test data and yields (First Pass Yield - FPY) to identify trends and implement continuous improvement actions.
• Perform detailed root cause analysis and failure analysis (FA) on non-conforming products and test failures (e.g., No Defect Found - NDF).
• Fine-tune test limits and programs to reduce false failures and improve test cycle time (throughput).
• Perform routine and preventative maintenance, calibration, and minor repairs on ICT and Flying Probe test systems.
• Provide immediate technical support and troubleshooting to production technicians and operators to minimize equipment downtime.
• Work closely with Manufacturing, Quality, and Design teams to resolve assembly defects and systemic product quality issues.
• Train technicians and operators on new test procedures, equipment operation, and troubleshooting techniques.

Required Qualifications

• Preferred: Minimum of 3+ years of hands-on experience in electronic manufacturing, specifically in developing and supporting test systems.
• Demonstrated proficiency with test program development on In-Circuit Test (ICT) platforms.
• Strong practical experience with Flying Probe Test (FPT) technology and programming.
