Test Engineer; G-Project

Main Function

• EQUIPMENT SELECTION: The Test Engineer will be responsible for specifying machine type, expected throughput, expected yields and required equipment manning. Close liaison with the customer to understand their needs and requirements, which may include customer‑specific Test Equipment and Fixtures.
• EQUIPMENT PERFORMANCE: The Test Engineer will be responsible for ensuring that in a volume manufacturing environment all manufacturing equipment performs as per supplier specifications and within the requirements of the quotation. All targets must be met, machines must perform per forecast, and yields and quality targets are achieved.
• TESTER MAINTENANCE: The Test Engineer will be responsible for all ongoing equipment maintenance including planned preventive maintenance schedules, line support for breakdowns, and major machine overhaul activity. Additionally, the Engineer will forecast, stock and order spare parts and consumables required for Test Equipment and Fixture maintenance.

• EQUIPMENT SELECTION: When new products are introduced to the facility the Test Engineer will design the Test Process, in conjunction with input from the Product Engineer. This involves specifying the correct types and quantities of Testers and, where required, introducing new technologies for a customer’s specific product.
• NEW PRODUCT INTRODUCTION: During the introduction of new products the Test Engineer will have start‑up responsibilities to ensure that the Test process operates as designed, proving through puts and yields and agreeing the Manufacturing Handover process for volume production.
• QUALITY: The Test Engineer will work with the Quality group to establish Quality plans on a product‑by‑product basis. During normal production the Engineer will be involved with the Quality group on an ongoing basis to resolve Tester / Software / Process problems.
• TEAMWORK: The Test Engineer will cooperate with all departments within the facility and act as a proactive team member, taking a lead role on all Test‑related issues.
• DOCUMENTATION: The Engineer will provide all process documentation and Test Programs for production build, ensuring that Test and Fixture pin‑out listings used in manufacturing are accurate to the current build level.
• ECN ACTIVITY: The Engineer will participate in Change Control Meetings where both internal and customer ECNs are actioned. Following the meeting, the Engineer will implement such changes into the Test processes.
• TEST EQUIPMENT: The Engineer will be responsible for all major Test equipment movements and installations, negotiate and provide all third‑party service contracts for Testers used within the facility, and maintain the appropriate level of spares and consumables for both Testers and Fixtures.
• QUOTATIONS / TOOLING: During the quotations process the Engineer will specify and order Test Fixtures required for the Test Process when a new customer is introduced. The Engineer may also specify other non‑recurring expenses required to be charged back to the customer.
• MEASUREMENTS: The Engineer will be measured on the following categories:
  • Test Yields
  • False Failure Rate
  • Tester Uptime
  • UPH versus Quote
  • Spare Inventory
  The Engineer will set up a measurement process for the above and report on a weekly basis.

• CUSTOMER FOCUS: The Test Engineer must recognize their importance in providing Customer Satisfaction to both internal and external customers and must act to provide the best Quality Products, Services, and Communication.
