Implement preventive-maintenance schedules, track equipment health, and maintain complete O&M manuals and configuration baselines.
Troubleshoot STE and other complex test/manufacturing equipment
Diagnose failures in a broad range of equipment, including PLCs, power-electronics modules, signal-processing boards, high-speed data-acquisition systems, vision-inspection hardware, robotic test fixtures, and custom manufacturing tooling.
Apply systematic root-cause analysis (RCA) techniques, leverage schematics, wiring diagrams, and diagnostic software, and generate corrective-action reports (CARs).
Coordinate with design, software, and manufacturing teams to implement hardware fixes, firmware updates, or software patches, and validate that issues are fully resolved.
Manage component obsolescence
Conduct risk assessments on aging STE and manufacturing components.
Recommend retrofit, replacement, or redesign strategies and develop migration plans that align with cost, schedule, and performance objectives.
Provide expert software support
Perform embedded-software loading, version-control management, and verification on STE platforms.
Ensure seamless integration of software releases with test hardware and maintain traceability of software configurations.
Document and communicate
Produce concise technical briefings, status updates, and equipment configuration records for cross-functional stakeholders.
Maintain accurate logs of maintenance actions, troubleshooting steps, and configuration changes.
Basic Qualifications
-Hands-on experience with Special Test Equipment (STE) and related test/manufacturing hardware such as PLCs, power electronics modules, and data-acquisition systems.
-Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot complex hardware failures using root-cause analysis, schematic interpretation, and diagnostic software tools.
-Proficiency in embedded-software loading, version control management, and verification of software on test platforms.
-Knowledge of preventive-maintenance practices, equipment configuration control, and the creation/maintenance of O&M documentation.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills for producing clear technical briefings, status updates, and equipment configuration records.
Desired skills
-Advanced troubleshooting and root-cause analysis across hardware, firmware, and software domains.
Proficiency with PLC programming (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, etc.) and interpretation of electrical schematics.
-Experience using test instrumentation (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, data-acquisition systems) and analysis tools such as LabVIEW, MATLAB, or Python.
