Job Description
DESCRIPTION
Have you ever wanted to be part of a team who is building industry changing technology? Amazon’s 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.
Key job responsibilities
As a Sr. 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 Kuiper’s internal test development teams and our manufacturing partners. You will ensure successful test deployment by documenting procedures, training CM personnel, and providing ongoing support. You will have excellent debugging skill with the ability to dive deep and determine the root-cause of a test failure.
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.
• 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 PCBA, process, and test system improvement.
• Develop procedures and documentation for use by test operators.
• Train operators on test processes and support recurring certification programs.
• Perform PCBA debug and root-cause failure analysis at Contract Manufacturing sites. Create runbooks and provide training for technicians to perform PCBA debug.
• Provide feedback to the Test Development team on test coverage, fault isolation capability, PCBA failure trends, and DFT (Design for Test) recommendations.
• Run small teams to accomplish short-term objectives and implement strategic initiatives.
