The opportunity
This is a newly developed team, transforming how defects are located and corrected within Circuit Card Assembly manufacturing. You will use state-of-the-art Flying Probe test equipment to find faults quickly and improve fault investigation processes for test engineering teams. You will work with experienced manufacturing test engineers to deliver new Flying Probe test packages for the circuit cards produced at MBDA’s complex technologies site in Bolton. You will also deliver timely test package corrections and contribute to improvements in test time, test coverage and reliability. There is scope to develop your skills as a test engineer by diagnosing faults to component level and suggesting remedial actions to maintain high product quality.
Key responsibilities: you will work to create and refine Flying Probe test packages and collaborate with manufacturing operations teams to deploy robust packages.
Key Responsibilities
* Creation of new Flying Probe test packages using the SPEA 4050S2 test system, from initial circuit card data-pack, import to Flying Probe, debugging, and statistical data analysis to deploy reliable packages to manufacturing.
* Correction and improvement of existing Flying Probe test packages as products evolve, including yield improvements from statistical analysis of test results.
* Communication with stakeholders and cross-team collaboration; perform fault diagnosis down to component level on analogue and digital PCB assemblies using a range of test equipment (oscilloscopes, multi-meters, signal generators, etc.).
Qualifications
* A Formal technical Engineering/Craft Apprenticeship to NVQ Level 3/TR23/TR21 and a Formal further education certificate to Level 4 (HNC or equivalent) OR a BEng/BSc in a relevant Engineering/Technical degree.
