The Electrical Test Engineer (PCBA Test Development Engineer) is responsible for developing structural test solutions for printed circuit board assemblies (PCBA). This role plays a key part in designing, developing, and implementing electrical test systems used to verify PCBA and electronic product performance in accordance with customer specifications and industry standards.

The engineer supports the entire test development lifecycle—from test strategy definition and design through validation and release to production—while ensuring compliance with the Quality Management System (QMS).

• Develops and implements automated PCBA test solutions, including hardware and software test fixtures, from concept and quotation through validation and release to production.
• Defines and executes structural and functional test strategies using ICT, flying probe, and functional test platforms (e.g., SPEA, Teradyne, Agilent).
• Designs electronic circuits, wiring, and test software architectures using C#, Visual Basic, .NET, and LabVIEW.
• Generates electrical test strategies, specifications, programs, documentation, and cost estimates for test fixtures and equipment.
• Collaborates cross-functionally with engineering, manufacturing, quality, and suppliers to support New Product Introduction (NPI), prototype builds, and production ramp-up.
• Provides hands-on technical support to manufacturing, including debugging test systems and resolving quality and yields issues.
• Performs verification, validation, and ongoing maintenance of test equipment, including CPK and GR&R studies.
• Contributes to production engineering objectives, including process improvement, lean manufacturing, and overall product quality.

• Proven experience in test development environments, including expertise in bed-of-nails functional and in-circuit testing.
• Strong background in designing and developing functional test equipment for electronic products and components.
• Proficiency in C#-based programming using Visual Studio, including experience with VB and VC#.
• Solid understanding of test process planning, Design for Testability (DFT), and Design for Manufacturability (DFM).
• Hands-on experience designing, deploying, and supporting production test equipment.
• Experience with PCB design and assembly for test fixtures and test hardware.
• Familiarity with SPEA Leonardo, SPEA ICT, and Flying Probe test platforms.
• Demonstrated ability to manage, maintain, and continuously improve test equipment systems.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical or Electronic Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 5+ years of progressive experience in test design engineering within a manufacturing or high-volume production environment.
• Advanced expertise in electrical circuit analysis, test methodologies, and the application of electronic measurement and diagnostic equipment.
