Responsibilities
Rework and Repair
Assess condition of returned prototype units and confirm failure mode
Run the prototype unit through a prescribed set of functional tests depending on reported defect, and perform
failure analysis to determine root cause
Strategically disassemble the unit, guided by SOPs, and perform a visual inspection of systems that might be
related to the failure symptom
Perform component/module exchanges to isolate the failure
Document the work performed on each unit in a thorough, consistent manner
Prototype Assembly
