Proficiency with in-circuit test equipment such as TRI, Teradyne, Keysight (Agilent), GenRad, or SPEA testers
Skilled in using multimeters, oscilloscopes, signal/waveform analyzers, soldering stations, and logic analyzers for debugging
Experience programming test sequences (often in languages like C, Python, LabVIEW, or proprietary test development environments)
Knowledge of boundary scan (JTAG) testing and advanced fault diagnostics is a plus
Understanding of automated manufacturing and the role of ICT in a production line
Experience with test automation and scripting for improving test efficiency
Familiarity with IPC standards (e.g., IPC-A-610) for electronics quality and acceptance criteria
Hands-on experience in statistical analysis of data, metrics reporting, and Six Sigma techniques is an advantage
Knowledge of designing and developing ICT fixtures, including probe alignment and bed-of-nails testing setups
Understanding fixture mechanics and electrical signal integrity for accurate testing
Critical thinking: Ability to assess test results, isolate issues, and make efficient decisions
Attention to detail: Focus on fine-tuning tools and processes for reliable testing
Communication skills: Clear presentation of test results, defect data, and recommended improvements to cross-functional teams
Team collaboration: Work effectively with production engineers, quality assurance, and design teams to resolve issues efficiently
Preferred
IPC Certification: IPC-A-610 (Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies) or IPC J-STD-001 (Soldering Standards)
Six Sigma Certification: Green Belt or higher in process improvement
Test Equipment Training: Vendor-specific certifications for ICT machines, such as Teradyne or Keysight
