Key job responsibilities
SoC Lab Technician will be responsible for day-to-day hardware debug and board bring-up activities including probing rework and root-cause analysis of prototype boards. This role requires strong hands-on skills in soldering and desoldering fine-pitch components probes wires and connectors on multi-layer PCBs. The technician will read and interpret schematics and layouts to trace signal paths identify component placement and support electrical validation engineers in setting up measurement benches for high-speed and low-speed interfaces testing. Key responsibilities include planning and maintaining lab infrastructure rack layouts power distribution cable management thermal chamber placement and ESD-safe workstations to ensure efficient and safe operations. The role involves close coordination with internal cross-functional teams (silicon ATE firmware validation logistic/IT/GREF etc) and external vendors for equipment procurement and calibration services. The technician will own lab inventory tracking manage equipment calibration schedules and ensure all test assets are accounted for and available when needed.
