We are seeking a Debug Technician to support troubleshooting, repair, and validation of Printed Circuit Assemblies (PCAs) and diagnostic test trays/fixtures used in compute platform testing and engineering validation.


Working in an engineering lab environment and reporting to the Failure Analysis Engineering Manager, the Debug Technician will perform component-level troubleshooting, repair electronic assemblies, and assist engineering teams in identifying root causes of hardware failures.


This role supports Failure Analysis and Test Engineering teams by maintaining operational test trays and repairing PCAs used in engineering diagnostics, reliability testing, and product validation.


Duties and Responsibilities


• Perform component-level troubleshooting and repair of Printed Circuit Assemblies (PCAs).


• Troubleshoot and repair test trays and diagnostic fixtures used for hardware validation and failure analysis.


• Diagnose hardware failures using schematics, test logs, and diagnostic tools to determine root cause at the board or component level.


• Replace and repair components including ICs, passive components, connectors, cables, and harnesses.


• Support maintenance and repair of test tray electronics, cabling, and interconnect hardware to ensure reliable operation during engineering testing.


• Analyze failures using oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, and other electronic diagnostic tools.


• Work with Failure Analysis and Test Engineering teams to reproduce failures and isolate root causes.


• Assist in monitoring reliability testing (ORT / RDT) and report hardware issues discovered during testing.


• Document troubleshooting steps, repair actions, and findings according to established procedures.


• Assist in the development, modification, and maintenance of test fixtures, trays, and diagnostic equipment.


• Support engineering builds, prototype evaluation, and validation activities as required.


• Perform other technical duties as assigned.



Qualifications


• Experience troubleshooting and repairing Printed Circuit Assemblies (PCAs) at the component level.


• Ability to read and interpret electronic schematics, board layouts, and diagnostic logs.


• Experience using electronic diagnostic equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, and component testers.


• Skilled in soldering and electronic rework, including component replacement and connector repair.


• Experience inspecting PCAs using microscopes and electronic inspection tools.


• Familiarity with cabling, connectors, and harness assemblies.


• Basic understanding of computer hardware and embedded systems is preferred.


• Basic knowledge of Linux/UNIX environments is a plus.


• Strong troubleshooting and analytical skills.


• Ability to work in a fast-paced engineering environment and meet project deadlines.
