Debug Technician

Debug Technician

Debug Technician 2 is expected to be able to evaluate electronic components (specifically PCBAs in this specific role) and disposition them accordingly. This job requires understanding of using visual tools like hand tools, microspas, as well as powered equipment like x-rays and functional testers.

Performs tasks such as, but not limited to, the following:

• Analyze rejected electronic assemblies using various test equipment, simulators, and troubleshooting skills.
• Troubleshoot and diagnose complex problems, define corrective actions, and communicate findings effectively.
• Identify vendor vs. process defects and write detailed failure analysis reports.
• Record data of failures and explain diagnoses clearly.
• Work independently and adapt to varying conditions.
• Support factory operations on weekends when required.
• Troubleshoots/debugs at multiple system levels to the PCBA component pin level.
• Uses oscilloscope, multi-meter, schematics and assembly drawings to troubleshoot.
• Uses hand tools to disassemble/reassemble systems.
• Writes up failure analysis findings and inputs directly into the customer's database.

Knowledge/Skills/

Competencies:

• Proficiency in operating/setup of electronics equipment (signal generator, modulation/audio analyzers, spectrum analyzer, power meter, oscilloscopes, etc.).
• Ability to read and interpret schematics for component-level troubleshooting is recommended.
• Strong Electronic and Mechanical troubleshooting skills required.

Physical Demands:

Duties of the position are performed in a manufacturing environment with frequent exposure to noise, dust, chemicals, operating machinery, temperature extremes, hazardous substances, etc. Duties require extended periods of sustained visual concentration on detailed documentation and product assemblies. Duties of the position require periodic light physical effort and exertion including prolonged repetitive motions, sitting in confined work spaces, using tools and equipment, and moving and handling materials.
