PCB Test Technician

We are seeking a PCB Test Engineering Technicianto design and execute test plans, hardware, and scripts that validate mission-critical, space-grade electronic hardware. This role ensures product reliability through rigorous validation in simulated extreme environmental conditions. The ideal candidate thrives in a hands-on environment and enjoys contributing to high-impact aerospace programs, from concept through launch readiness.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop test plans, methods, and equipment to ensure product reliability and compliance with engineering specifications.

• Participate in engineering design reviews to identify test requirements and system risks.

• Produce and maintain detailed test reports, metrics, and documentation.

• Lead failure analysis efforts, including root-cause documentation, corrective actions, and customer communications.

• Plan and coordinate testing activities, including scheduling, resource allocation, and equipment readiness.

• Define test parameters and procedures for standard and special testing environments.

• Provide technical expertise and cross-program support as needed.

• Perform diagnostic analysis and preliminary evaluations of product performance.

• Develop and execute automated, environmental, dynamic, and regression testing.

• Continuously improve test processes through data-driven analysis and reporting.

• Mentor and coach early-career engineers and technicians.

• Occasionally support testing outside standard business hours, including nights and weekends.

• Limited travel may be required.

Qualifications

• High School Diploma (Associate or Bachelor’s degree preferred).

• 6+ years of professional experience in test engineering, preferably in aerospace or high-reliability manufacturing.

• Hands-on experience with electrical testing, debugging digital circuits, and operating lab instruments (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power supplies, etc.).

• Proficiency in basic scripting and test automation.

• Proven ability to execute tests independently with minimal supervision.

Preferred:

• Experience in environmental testing, including vibration, temperature, and radiation simulations.

• Familiarity with PCB design, schematic capture, and layout tools.

• Understanding of AS9100 quality standards and aerospace documentation practices.

• Working knowledge of lean manufacturing principles.

• Failure analysis experience using Ishikawa (Fishbone), 5-Why, or similar methodologies.

• Background in optics or optical testing.

• Proficiency with MS Word, Excel, and general Office 365 tools (advanced Excel skills a plus).
