Apply Design for Testability (DFT) principles during design reviews, ensuring test point accessibility, boundary scan implementation, and built-in self-test capabilities.
Focus on design verification from subsystem testing through functional testing and system performance validation.
Test Development & Execution
Develop test methodologies and fixtures as needed.
Develop and maintain test scripts in collaboration with design and firmware engineers.
Use software simulation tools to model circuits and systems, analyze performance, identify failure modes, and optimize designs.
Ensure proper test execution, data collection, review, and system requirement verification.
Own and manage comprehensive test procedures and execute system and board-level test plans.
Technical Problem-Solving
Troubleshoot and propose viable fixes when faced with electrical failures.
Develop practical, cost-effective solutions that address root causes and prevent future occurrences.
Maintain requirements traceability during testing and solve integration and test problems in real time.
Leadership & Collaboration
Provide technical support to less experienced engineers during DVT execution, actively unblocking technical challenges and accelerating their development through hands-on guidance.
Lead small groups of DVT engineers across multiple designs.
Participate in reviews with cross-functional teams and management about test readiness and DVT results.
Conduct test readiness reviews and align with stakeholders on data review activities.
Coordinate between engineering, test lab, technicians, and schedule testing resources.
Data Analysis & Documentation
Collect test data, perform data analysis, and document results.
Work closely with cross-functional teams to coordinate testing activities and analyze results.
