Debug Technician

Job Description

We are seeking an experienced Debug Technician to support manufacturing operations by performing advanced troubleshooting and repair of complex mechanical and electrical assemblies. This role focuses on component-level PCB debugging, diagnosing hardware failures in server and data center systems, validating repairs, and collaborating with engineering and production teams to improve quality, reliability, and manufacturing efficiency.

Key Skills

• Perform advanced board-level troubleshooting and component-level debugging of complex multi-layer PCBAs, including CPU, GPU, FPGA, ASIC, memory, power, and mixed-signal subsystems.
• Diagnose hardware failures using schematics, PCB layout files, POST codes, BMC logs, boundary scan, diagnostic software, and other debug tools.
• Utilize electronic test equipment including high-bandwidth oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, power analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and automated test platforms to isolate and verify defects.
• Troubleshoot and repair complex mechanical and electrical assemblies to the component level while supporting manufacturing, validation, and continuous process improvement activities.

Required Qualifications

• Minimum 5+ years of hands-on experience performing component-level PCB debugging and repair within enterprise server, storage, networking, electronics manufacturing, or data center hardware environments.
• Strong understanding of server power architecture, VRMs, power sequencing, PCIe interfaces, BGA devices, high-speed interconnects, and signal integrity fundamentals.
• Ability to read, interpret, and troubleshoot using complex electrical schematics and PCB layout files.
• Hands-on experience operating oscilloscopes and other advanced electronic diagnostic and test equipment.
• Experience supporting equipment installation, debugging, validation, and manufacturing production activities.

Additional Skills

• Provide technical assistance and troubleshooting guidance to engineering, production, and other debug technicians.
• Develop, maintain, and improve PCB debugging guides, work instructions, batch records, equipment logs, material specifications, and other manufacturing documentation.
• Train production and service assemblers on PCBA troubleshooting techniques and debugging procedures.
• Monitor repair yields, equipment cycle rates, and support engineering with functionality investigations, process improvements, equipment validation, and procedure updates while maintaining compliance with all safety requirements.
