  • Write test scripts and control instrumentation using VISA API and C++
  • Analyse test data, identify trends, and provide detailed reports with recommendations
  • Collaborate with hardware, software, and design teams to resolve technical issues and improve test coverage
  • Perform precision soldering and rework on SMT and through-hole boards as required

Requirements

  • Degree in Electronic Engineering or related discipline
  • Proven experience in PCB design and testing, including schematics and layout understanding
  • Good working knowledge of semiconductor testing, failure analysis, and device behaviour
  • Strong experience with instrument control and automation using VISA API and C++
  • Ability to analyse large sets of data and present findings clearly and concisely
  • Skilled in hands-on lab work, including fine-pitch soldering and board rework
  • Familiarity with electronic test tools (e.g., multi-meters, oscilloscopes, signal generators, spectrum analysers)
