- Collect, validate, and organize critical test data, often identifying subtle anomalies or trends for engineer review.
Expert-Level Troubleshooting & Debugging
- Lead troubleshooting efforts on complex hardware, test setup, and prototype failures, often requiring minimal supervision.
- Utilize advanced diagnostic techniques to perform root cause analysis on challenging technical issues.
- Propose and implement effective solutions to resolve hardware and test-related problems.
Mentorship & Technical Guidance
- Serve as a technical mentor and resource for junior technicians, providing guidance on test procedures, equipment operation, and effective troubleshooting methods.
- Assist in training new team members on lab best practices, safety protocols, and standard operating procedures.
Lab Process Improvement & Documentation
- Proactively identify opportunities to improve lab efficiency, test methodologies, and data collection processes.
- Contribute to the development and refinement of test procedures and technical documentation.
- Maintain meticulous records of complex test setups, results, and debugging efforts.
Hardware & Lab Management
- Perform expert-level assembly, modification, and rework on complex prototypes and fine-pitch PCBs.
- Take a lead role in maintaining the calibration, functionality, and organization of critical lab equipment and workspaces.
Who You Are
