JOB SUMMARY
An Associate Test Development Engineer is required to perform low to medium complexity engineering work. The types of work performed include development of test solutions, test crisis support and continuous improvement of core competency. The types of work performed include construction, debug and repair of custom PCBs, fixtures, test racks including hardware and software.
ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Development of test solutions:
Typically receives project-level direction from the project leader
Typically assigned to develop test solutions of low to medium complexity
Test solution development tasks are done according to budget and schedule commitments from the test solution quotes
The tasks comprising a test solution development may include, but are not limited to, Design For Test (DFT), design, assembly, debug, validation, deployment, and emergency support of electrical hardware, mechanical hardware, optical hardware and software.
Electrical hardware typically includes, but is not limited to:
GPIB, USB and RS-232 controlled equipment
PXI and LXI based test equipment
Design of custom circuitry implemented in custom circuit boards and cables
Mechanical hardware typically includes, but is not limited to:
Environmental Stress Screening (ESS) chamber racks
Bench-test setups
19” equipment racks
Custom automated high-throughput fixtures with probe fields, and top, bottom, and side mounted pneumatically actuated modules.
Software and compilers typically includes, but is not limited to:
LabWindows/CVI, LabView and TestStand
C#, ANSI C and Visual C++
Visual Basic
Assembly for Motorola and Intel microcontrollers and microprocessors
HTML, PERL, ASP and custom scripting languages.
Software for Agilent/Keysight 3070 ICT and other MDA platforms
Test development sites develop solutions for several test processes including, but not limited to:
In-Circuit test (ICT) and Manufacturing Defect Analyzer (MDA)
Boundary Scan/ JTAG
Board-level functional test
ESS/HASS
System test
The process of developing test solutions includes, but is not limited to:
Test development (OrCAD, AutoCAD, FabMaster and other software development tools listed above)
Project tracking (action items, journals, time entry, milestones, and deliverables checklists)
Test solution design guidelines (global fixture specification, schematic design requirements)
Design reviews (Initial and post-installation)
Documentation package templates (test specification, BOM’s, tester validation, etc…)
Jabil policies:
Adhere to all safety and health rules and regulations associated with this position and as directed by supervisor.
Comply and follow all procedures within the company security policy.
May perform other duties and responsibilities as assigned.
MANAGEMENT & SUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITIES
Typically reports to Management. Direct supervisor job title(s) typically include: Test Development Manager/Technical Program Manager/Project Engineer/Senior Test Development Engineer.
Job is NOT directly responsible for managing other employees (e.g., hiring/termination and/or pay decisions, performance management).
JOB QUALIFICATIONS
