Test Engineer

Test Program Ownership:
• Experience testing complex PCB assemblies (system level or high density boards).
• Proven ability to troubleshoot issues across hardware, fixtures, and test software domains.
• Act as the single point of accountability (“Captain”) for test execution, stability, and performance.
• Own and manage the end to end manufacturing test program for complex PCB assemblies
• Background in RF measurements and signal integrity and Electrical and digital circuit behavior
Test Systems & Tools
• Hands on experience with manufacturing test fixtures and automated test setups.
• Ability to analyze logs and scripts written in Python or similar scripting languages.
• Familiarity with test data analysis, yield monitoring, and failure trend identification.
Hands On Troubleshooting & Failure Analysis:
• Perform initial troubleshooting and basic failure analysis (FA) on test failures.
• Analyze test logs and output data to identify root causes of electrical, RF, or functional failures.
• Distinguish between test, fixture, software, and product related issues before escalation.
Test Policy Enforcement & Quality Control
• Enforce defined test policies, procedures, and release criteria across manufacturing partners.
• Monitor key metrics such as yield, retest rates, and failure trends.
• Drive deep dive investigations when retest rates spike or abnormal patterns are observed.
Cross Functional & CM Collaboration
• Work closely with Apple engineering teams to align on test expectations, failure trends, and corrective actions.
• Interface with contract manufacturers (CMs) whose operators run the tests, while retaining responsibility for triage, analysis, and compliance.
• Collaborate with cross functional teams spanning hardware design, manufacturing, quality, and logistics.
