Responsibilities
Drive PCBA testability (DFT) from schematic review through high-volume manufacturing
Integrate test points, boundary scan, and other DFT techniques into PCB designs to enhance test coverage and fault detection
Define and enforce test access requirements: test points, boundary scan chains, probe access, isolation, and segmentation
Develop test methods using python programming used for functional and parametric test on NPI PCBA test stations developed in-house at Aeva
Define the test requirements and support the development of functional test (FCT) at CM for high volume manufacturing
Bring up new PCBA tests from first power-on to full functional validation
Isolate intermittent, marginal, and low-yield failures using systematic debug methods including debug of power integrity, clocks, resets, boot sequences, and mixed-signal paths
Correlate ICT/FCT failures with schematic intent, layout, and silicon performance
Use advanced instrumentation (scopes, logic analyzers, current probes, thermal tools) to capture elusive failures
Create debug playbooks, DFT guidelines, and failure isolation documentation
Collaborate with engineering and manufacturing teams to ensure on time delivery with optimum test coverage at lowest cost
Document test strategies, procedures, and results for internal reference and compliance purposes
Prepare reports to analyse and document test results, and perform SPC analysis of new test fixtures/techniques to validate or establish monitors of critical test processes
Provide end-to-end support through entire product life cycle from NPI (New Product Introduction) to high volume manufacturing
