A crucial aspect of your role is to recommend improvements to test procedures with the aim of simplifying testing and assembly processes.
Major Responsibilities Include:
•Conducting functional tests to assess the performance of production electronic systems, assemblies, and sub-assemblies.
•Testing both commercial and complex (mil-spec) electronic assemblies using pre-production or prototype documentation.
•Precisely comparing test results with specifications and maintaining accurate records of test data.
•Investigating defective units to identify the root cause of failure.

•A minimum of 5 years of experience in testing, maintaining, and/or repairing electronic assemblies, preferably within a production environment.
•Intermediate to advanced knowledge of analog and RF theory, microprocessor-based, and mixed-signal circuits.
•Proficiency in interpreting and using wiring diagrams, schematics, and engineering work instructions.
•Demonstrated ability to analyze and troubleshoot defective units down to the component level.
•Proficiency in the use of general test equipment such as Oscilloscopes, function generators, and DMM's.
•Proficiency in using Windows-based computer programs, including Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.
•Highly desirable skills include hand-soldering and rework experience and a general understanding of printed wiring assembly production (although the latter is not required).
•Candidates should be available and willing to work alternate shifts and overtime as needed.
Physical Demands:
The role demands good color perception, eyesight, and the effective use of magnification aids like binocular microscopes and related test equipment.
