Job Description
Drive PCBA testability (DFT) from schematic and functional reviews for high-volume manufacturing.
Key Responsibilities
- Drive PCBA testability (DFT) from schematic and functional reviews for high-volume manufacturing. Work with electrical design team to assess test point and boundary scan coverage, and other DFT techniques into board designs to enhance test coverage and fault detection.
- Develop test platforms for initial board bring up and low volume prototype and engineering validation builds. Write test methods and extract metrics using python programming for these test platforms.
- Assess contract manufacturing capabilities and define the requirements for in-circuit test (ICT) and functional test (FCT) for high volume manufacturing.
- Drive board yield fallout investigations by isolating intermittent, marginal, and low-yield failures using systematic debug methods including debug of power integrity, clocks, resets, boot sequences, and mixed-signal paths.
- Correlate ICT/FCT failures with schematic intent, layout, and silicon performance.
- Use advanced instrumentation (scopes, logic analyzers, current probes, thermal tools) to capture elusive failures.
- Create debug playbooks, DFT guidelines, and failure isolation documentation.
- Collaborate with engineering and manufacturing teams to ensure on time delivery with optimum test coverage at lowest cost.
- Document test strategies, procedures, and results for internal reference and compliance purposes.
- Provide end-to-end support through entire product life cycle from NPI (New Product Introduction) to high volume manufacturing.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or equivalent experience
- 7+ years of hands-on experience in board bring up and validation
- DFT experience and strong practical knowledge for ICT and FCT
- Expert ability to read and critique schematics and PCB layouts
- Deep understanding of analog, digital, power, and mixed-signal systems and boundary scan (JTAG)
- Proven track record of improving yield through DFT and failure analysis learnings
- Hands-on experience in Python programming for test automation
- Experience with data analysis using tools such as JMP and dashboards
- Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to troubleshoot complex technical issues
- Strong communication and teamwork skills to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams
- Experience working with CMs worldwide
- Excellent verbal and written communication and presentation skills and capable of making clear conclusions and recommendations
Benefits & Perks
- Be part of an early start-up that's backed by industry-leading venture capitalists
- Very competitive compensation and meaningful equity!
- Exceptional benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, and more!
- 401k matching
- Unlimited PTO: We care about results, not punching timecards
- Paid lunches, ping pong tournaments, and fun team off-sites!
