Overview
Job: PCB Test and Repair Engineer. Job Type: Full-time, permanent. Must have own transport due to location of site.
Responsibilities
* PCB Testing: Conduct tests on PCBs using automated test equipment (ATE), oscilloscopes, multimeters, and other diagnostic tools. Analyse test results and compare against design specifications to identify any faults or performance issues. Develop and execute test plans, procedures, and scripts to ensure all PCB designs meet the required standards.
* PCB Repair: Identify and troubleshoot faults in PCBs, including surface-mount devices (SMDs), through-hole components, and complex multi-layer boards. Perform hands-on repairs such as component replacement, soldering, and rework on PCBs. Use advanced tools like hot-air rework stations, microscopes, soldering irons, and reflow ovens to perform repairs.
* Documentation and Reporting: Maintain detailed records of testing results, repairs performed, and any modifications made to PCBs. Generate clear, concise reports summarizing the testing process, results, and any defects found. Work with the engineering team to document failures and suggest improvements to product designs or manufacturing processes.
Skills and Qualifications
