Senior Test Engineer (Singapore, 02, SG, 539775)

POSITION SUMMARY:

A Test Engineer designs, develops, and implements cost-effective methods that result in stable, controlled production test methods of multiple kW RF and DC power supplies.  The purpose is to establish a test paradigm that will meet customer’s needs, meeting product specifications with well-documented test processes and data.  The data and processes will result in production SPC control to keep product measurements and power control repeatable and cost effective.

ESSENTIAL RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Ensure testability of new product designs, providing feedback to design teams addressing opportunities for defects in manufacturing and field use.

• Accurately estimate project costs, production test and labor time as associated with implementing production test solutions.

• Implement test flow and process into manufacturing that includes the software, databases and hardware for manufcaturing.

• Create the test structure and flow of manufacturing, work with engineering to transition to production

• Ability to implement SPC and provide databases and reporting infrastructure to customers and internally

• Own the test requirements that will ensure the product will meet its end specification.

• Prepares test and diagnostic programs in LabView and Matlab.

• Lead MSA’s across multiple sites

• Analyze test equipment capabilities and ensure control of critical parameters of products and test equipment.

• Works with diagrams, layouts and electrical circuit schematics to develop test procedures that will catch failures, ensure reliability and accuracy of RF and DC power supplies.

• Performs operational test and fault isolation on electrical systems and equipment.

• Work with engineering teams in Asia and the US.

WORK ENVIRONMENT:

• Regularly works in a lab and/or manufacturing/service facilities. Occasional travel to international locations.

SKILLS & EXPERIENCE:

• Bachelor Degree in Engineering or Science with at least 5 year(s) relevant experience

• Greater than 5 years of relevant design/development team and/or manufacturing support.

• Proven ability to methodically solve complex, technical issues.

• Must have strong problem-solving attributes.

• Able to operate a electrical test equipment – oscilloscopes, DVM, electrical power measurent, spectrum analyzers.

• Capable in hardware and software development.

• Strong at communicating with and influencing design teams, vendors, and customers.

• Demonstrated proficency in NI LabView test application development – muliple years of development.

• Demonstrated development of an entire test paradigm for manufacturing.

• Demonstrated implementation of SPC in manufacturing, design of experiments (DOE), measurement system analysis (MSA).
