Job Description:
Test Hardware Architecture & Fixture Electronics- Design and develop electrical architecture for automated test fixtures and production test stations used for PCBAs and assembled electronic products.
- Create schematics, interface boards, wiring architectures, and electrical documentation for manufacturing test systems.
- Define hardware partitioning between fixture electronics, DUT interface boards, instrumentation, power switching, safety circuits, and operator indicators.
- Participate in cross-functional design reviews with firmware, mechanical, manufacturing, and quality teams. DUT Interface, Measurement & Control
- Design circuits for safe and repeatable interfacing to DUT power rails, digital IO, analog signals, communication ports, relays, indicators, sensors, and user-interface elements.
- Develop switching, signal routing, conditioning, and measurement interface circuits for validation of voltage rails, current draw, startup behaviour, sequencing, protection features, communications, and functional IO.
- Support implementation of test coverage for analog, digital, timing, communication, and safety-related behaviour.
- Design firmware programming and debug interfaces for DUT flashing, configuration, and diagnostic access. Instrumentation & Production Test Integration
- Select and integrate instruments and interface electronics such as DMMs, programmable power supplies, DAQ modules, relays, multiplexers, oscilloscopes, and communication adaptors as required.
- Develop robust harnessing, connector strategies, pogo-pin or fixture interconnect concepts, and serviceable field wiring for production use.
- Ensure repeatable electrical performance with appropriate grounding, shielding, ESD protection, isolation, and noise mitigation techniques.
- Support integration with production systems, serial number scanning, traceability requirements, and manufacturing application interfaces.
- Design guarded, interlocked, and operator-safe electrical systems that prevent exposure to hazardous voltages and support safe-state behaviour.
- Implement lid interlock circuits, zero-potential safety logic, emergency stop or fault handling provisions, and pass/fail visual indication hardware.
- Support poka-yoke / error-proofing mechanisms to reduce incorrect loading, incorrect connections, and operator misinterpretation of results.
- Design for diagnostic visibility, serviceability, and maintainability in production environments. Prototyping, Debugging & Validation
- Support fixture bring-up, electrical debugging, root cause analysis, and pilot-line validation.
- Use oscilloscopes, logic analysers, power analysers, and other lab instruments to debug fixture behaviour, measurement issues, noise, timing, or interface problems.
- Validate accuracy, repeatability, false-fail performance, and robustness of test hardware across known-good and known-bad DUTs.
- Collaborate with manufacturing and quality teams during pilot runs and release to production. Documentation & Delivery
- Create complete hardware development documentation including schematics, BOMs, wiring diagrams, interface definitions, test hardware drawings, validation summaries, and release files.
- Support ECO/change-control workflows and maintain clear revision history for fixture hardware.
- Deliver prototype hardware, debug updates, and final production-release design files.
