Test Technician

Key Responsibilities

• Build and assemble test boards, fixtures, and test systems from schematics, build plans, and specifications provided by engineers
• Perform precision soldering and rework on test boards, components, and interconnects (through-hole and surface-mount) to build reliability test vehicles
• Start, stop, and monitor reliability tests (e.g., HTOL, HTRB, THB, temperature cycling, burn-in, life testing) in accordance with test plans
• Set up and configure test chambers, power supplies, data loggers, and other lab equipment to support reliability test execution
• Perform routine and non-routine troubleshooting of test systems, fixtures, and equipment; escalate complex issues to reliability engineers
• Collect, record, and organize test data; perform basic data checks and flag anomalies or out-of-spec results to engineers
• Maintain accurate documentation of test setups, run logs, and equipment maintenance records in accordance with quality procedures
• Support calibration, preventive maintenance, and repair of lab equipment and test fixtures
• Assist engineers with failure analysis support activities, including sample preparation and handling
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe lab work area consistent with EHS standards
• Train and mentor junior technicians on soldering techniques, test system builds, and lab safety procedures

Required Qualifications

• Associate's degree in Electronics, Engineering Technology, or related technical field (or equivalent combination of education and experience)
