Liquid-Cooling Test Considerations

• Evaluate test point and probe access constraints associated with cold plates, coolant manifolds, and quick-disconnect fittings.

• Define pre- and post-cold-plate test sequencing strategies to maximize structural test coverage.

• Coordinate with Mechanical and Thermal Engineering on fixture design and cold-plate clearance.

• Support fixture modifications required for liquid-cooled PCBAs while maintaining test coverage.

Production & NPI Support

• Support New Product Introduction (NPI), engineering builds, pilot builds, and production ramp.

• Support Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) and product revisions.

• Improve equipment utilization, uptime, test efficiency, and manufacturing performance.

• Provide technical support to manufacturing and engineering teams during production.

• Support production test release and manufacturing readiness activities.

Failure Analysis & Continuous Improvement

• Analyze ICT yield performance and drive First Pass Yield (FPY) improvement.

• Perform root-cause analysis using structured problem-solving methodologies, including 8D, 5 Why, and Fishbone.

• Implement and monitor Statistical Process Control (SPC).

• Support corrective and preventive actions (CAPA).

• Identify and reduce false failures while improving test coverage and production efficiency.

• Perform failure analysis and troubleshoot circuit-level test failures.
