Experienced ICT (In-Circuit Test) Engineer Needed

Are you a highly experienced electronics engineer with a deep specialization in In-Circuit Test (ICT) and functional test processes within a manufacturing environment?

We are seeking a senior-level ICT Test Engineer to provide expert remote support to our manufacturing operations. This is a critical freelance role focused on sophisticated electronics testing, requiring a hands-on, problem-solving approach to ensure product quality and production efficiency.

This is not a general IT or software development position. We are looking for a hardcore electronics professional with a proven track record in manufacturing production environments, capable of providing advanced remote engineering support for complex, low-level testing activities.

Key Responsibilities:

Test Program Development & Optimization: Develop, debug, and optimize ICT and functional test programs for complex electronic assemblies.

Failure Analysis & Debugging: Remotely analyze test failures, diagnose root causes of issues at the component and circuit level, and guide the onsite team through advanced debugging procedures.

Fixture Expertise: Provide technical guidance and support for the design, development, and validation of new and existing test fixtures.

Process Enhancement: Identify and implement improvements to enhance test coverage, yield, and overall test process efficiency.

Technical Consultation: Act as a remote subject matter expert, offering detailed technical advice and solutions for challenging production test scenarios.

Remote Collaboration: Effectively communicate and collaborate with an onsite production team, providing clear instructions and documentation.

Required Skills and Experience:

Hardcore Electronics Engineering: Extensive practical experience in electronics manufacturing, specifically in production test and quality assurance.

In-Circuit Test (ICT) Expertise: Deep theoretical and practical understanding of ICT principles, methodologies, and common failure modes.

Functional Test Expertise: Strong knowledge of functional testing of electronic circuits and assemblies.

Advanced Tester Proficiency: Proven experience with industry-standard ICT and functional test platforms. Experience with PROMIK, SPEA, Keysight (Agilent), Teradyne, Seica, or TRI testers is highly valuable.

Test Program Development: Demonstrated ability to develop, validate, and troubleshoot test programs.

Circuit Analysis & Debugging: Expert-level skills in analyzing complex schematics, board layouts, and component datasheets to resolve test issues.

Problem-Solving: Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills with a methodical approach to diagnosing and resolving intricate electronic failures.

Communication & Remote Support: Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with a proven ability to provide effective remote technical support and guidance.

Independent Work: Ability to work autonomously and manage tasks efficiently in a remote setting.

If you are an ICT Test Engineer who thrives on solving challenging electronics production problems and possesses the deep technical expertise to support a manufacturing team remotely, we encourage you to apply. Please provide a detailed overview of your relevant experience, specifically highlighting your work with ICT, functional testing, and the specific test systems you have utilized.
