KCOMM Direct Temp-to-Perm Approvers start [Twila Johnson, Michelle Maestas, Mike Chism, Seth Neider, Megan Peters, James Kramer] end Org Code: 1.06.018.900 Salary Range: $30-35 hr

Justification: This position is required to help support the large volumes of assemblies that get tested, troubleshot, and repaired on the Production floor. The Test Team currently does not have the capacity to get around to troubleshooting and repairing the red-tagged hardware (a sometimes time-consuming process) as the number one priority is to meet Project Demand on-time. The quantity of assemblies we test continues to increase year over year and we need to fill this position to keep up with demand and also to prevent the backlog of red-tagged hardware from increasing. With all the new boards coming in and assemblies getting built, we have our hands full just testing the new stuff with barely any time to troubleshoot the failing stuff so this position will take some of the new testing and troubleshooting off the current team's hands and will allow for us to maintain are current throughput.

Experience with: • Automated Test Scripts • Python • Test Stand and/or LabView SW Experience with testing, troubleshooting, and repairing Printed Circuit Board Assemblies (PCBAs) Experience and functional understanding of: • Electronic Test Equipment (VOM, Scopes, Sig Gens, Spec An's, Power Meters, etc…), reading and interpreting schematics, IPC-Certified Soldering Experience with Microsoft Office

Preferred Skills and Experience

Experience with RF Testing Knowledge and experience with advanced PCBA rework techniques Experience with any Manufacturing Execution System (MES) - Preferably Epicor IPC Certified
