Overview
Performs the set-up, calibration, testing and troubleshooting of circuits, components, instruments and mechanical assemblies. Determine and develop test specifications, methods and procedures from blueprints, drawings and diagrams. Test and troubleshoot assemblies and/or final systems. Complete rework on assemblies and/or systems as a result of testing. Prepare technical reports summarising findings and recommending solutions to technical problems. May assist in the selection and set-up of specialised test equipment.
Responsibilities
* Competent in setting up and the use of oscilloscopes, DVMs, spectrum analysers for testing & fault finding electronic assemblies and computer driven test systems.
* To undertake fault finding tasks with electronic circuits using schematic diagrams.
* Taking a leading role in finding the root cause of faults and assisting in implementation of root cause solutions within the manufacturing process. Often liaising with other production process teams.
* Set up test equipment and test jigs both for in-circuit and full functional testing of PCBAs and complete products.
* Test PCBAs and complete electronic products following test procedures recording test results as directed.
* Only pass assemblies that meet the test specification with all readings falling within test limits.
* Ensure test work is carried out to the production schedule, in order that production deadlines are met.
* To inform the Production management team if there are problems that may cause delay. Keep management informed of any significant problems with products under test.
* To investigate and fault find faulty electronic printed circuit assemblies or complete electronic based products using schematic diagrams and the full range of test equipment available leading to their repair.
* To keep records as required of test times and record fault data in a database.
* Suggest improvements in the testing of items to speed up the test process and achieve production test times.
* To seek assistance, as required to help solve test related problems.
* To use commercial awareness in relation to the products being tested and repaired, balancing the value of the item against the time required to repair or test it.
* To follow the working procedures defined in use within the test department.
