- Provide DFx recommendations to design teams during the design phase, highlighting electrical, mechanical, and thermal challenges.
- Root cause failing boards using SW tools and lab equipment, including multimeters and oscilloscopes.
- Analyze yield and parametric data using available tools and programming or scripting.
- Define and improve manufacturing test plans to optimize coverage, test-time, test-cost, and yield.
- Direct local and overseas contract manufacturing factories to transition new products to mass production.
What you'll need
- 5+ years of experience in design, manufacturing, validation, product development, or testing of PCBs, Silicon, or other systems.
- Experience in two or more of the following: Server architectures, board/PCB-design, SMT, assembly, board or post-Si validation, product engineering, design or validation of high speed interfaces (such as PCI-E, DP, HDMI, USB), Power-Integrity, Thermal characterization, or complex test setups.
- Strong grasp of testing strategies and their relation to yields and test-time.
- Ability to debug complicated multi-disciplinary problems using lab equipment.
- Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering or computer science, or equivalent experience.
