Job Description
Have you ever wanted to be part of a team who is building industry changing technology Amazons Project Kuiper is an initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide low-latency high-speed broadband network connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world.
As a PCBA Manufacturing Test Engineer you will be responsible for deployment qualification continuous improvement of test systems processes and procedures at CM (Contract Manufacturing) sites for Satellite PCBAs. You will be a key member of PCBA Manufacturing team and will be the main interface between Kuipers internal test development teams and our manufacturing partners. You will ensure successful test deployment by documenting procedures training CM personnel and providing ongoing onsite support. You will have excellent debugging skill with the ability to dive deep and determine the root-cause of test failures.
Export Control Requirement:
Due to applicable export control laws and regulations candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national U.S. permanent resident (i.e. current Green Card holder) or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.
Key job responsibilities
Develop test strategies implement and optimize test setup/processes at Contract Manufacturing sites including identification specification design and qualification of test fixtures test equipment and maintenance programs.
Perform PCBA debug and root-cause failure analysis at Contract Manufacturing sites. Create runbooks and provide training for technicians to perform PCBA debug.
Work with the R&D and Test Development teams to continuously improve test systems software fixtures and procedures to improve test effectiveness and throughput.
Analyze data to identify failure trends and provide recommendations for PCBA process and test system improvement.
Develop procedures and documentation for use by test operators.
