Identify equipment abnormalities and coordinate repairs or escalations with Test Engineers and equipment support teams.
Assist with test station installation, qualification, and readiness for production.
C. Failure Analysis and Troubleshooting
Troubleshoot failed units using diagnostic tools, test logs, schematics, and technical documentation.
Perform initial failure analysis to identify potential hardware, electrical, software, or test equipment issues.
Distinguish product failures from test station, fixture, connection, or process-related issues.
Document failure symptoms, test results, troubleshooting steps, and findings.
Escalate complex failures to Test Engineers or other engineering teams for further investigation.
Support root-cause analysis and corrective action activities to reduce recurring failures.
D. Production and Quality Support
Provide technical support to production teams to resolve testing issues and minimize production downtime.
Monitor test yield, failure rates, retest rates, and recurring failure patterns.
Support containment activities and product quality investigations when abnormalities occur.
Follow standard operating procedures, engineering specifications, ESD requirements, and applicable quality standards.
Ensure proper handling, identification, and traceability of products throughout the testing process.
E. Documentation and Continuous Improvement
Maintain accurate test records, equipment logs, failure reports, and troubleshooting documentation.
Communicate test results, equipment issues, and production concerns to the engineering team.
Assist in updating test procedures, work instructions, and troubleshooting guides.
Participate in yield improvement, test optimization, and continuous improvement initiatives.
Support engineering experiments, test program verification, and production process improvements.
