Computer Engineering focuses on designing and developing hardware and embedded systems, combining electrical engineering and computer science principles. Computer Science emphasizes software development, algorithms, and theoretical aspects of computing. While both fields overlap, Computer Engineering leans more toward hardware integration, whereas Computer Science centers on software and programming.

The PCBA Test Engineer owns end-to-end manufacturing test readiness for complex hardware platforms, ensuring scalable, cost-effective, and high-quality PCBA test solutions from early design through high-volume production.
This role leads execution across ICT, Boundary Scan (BST), and production test, driving DFT enforcement, fixture development, test coverage, and production readiness. The engineer partners closely with hardware design teams, contract manufacturers (CMs), and test vendors to deliver robust test infrastructure aligned to aggressive program schedules and yield targets.
Manufacturing Test Ownership
Own development and deployment of ICT and BST test solutions for pilot and production
Define and integrate device programming requirements into manufacturing test
Ensure complete PCBA-level test coverage, power-up validation, and defect screening
DFT & Design Engagement
Drive DFT compliance from schematic through layout, ensuring testable designs
Review test coverage (testprep) and design data to close testability gaps early
Partner with design teams to resolve probe access, coverage, and programming constraints
Fixture & Vendor Management
Lead ICT/BST fixture development, including quotes, scheduling, and build execution
Manage fixture vendors and test houses to ensure on-time delivery to pilot and production
Provide design data and technical support for fixture bring-up and debug
Production Readiness & Execution
Ensure test readiness for pilot and manufacturing ramp, aligned to program milestones
Drive cross-functional execution with CMs, vendors, and internal engineering teams
Support test station setup, validation, and production deployment
Yield & Continuous Improvement
Drive FPY improvement, defect reduction, and test optimization using production data
Lead debug, failure analysis, and root cause resolution across manufacturing
Optimize test time, coverage, and overall manufacturing efficiency
Lifecycle Support
Own post-release test support, fixture improvements, and issue resolution
Ensure long-term test stability, scalability, and cost optimization
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
10-12+ years relevant experience
Strong foundation in hardware systems and PCB design principles
Proven experience with ICT, BST, and manufacturing test development
Experience driving DFT compliance and test coverage in PCBA designs
Hands-on experience with fixture development and vendor coordination
Strong debug, failure analysis, and problem-solving skills in manufacturing environments
Experience working with contract manufacturers and external partners
Ability to lead cross-functional execution with minimal direction
Preferred Qualifications
Deep expertise in ICT fixture development and test coverage optimization
Strong knowledge of boundary scan (JTAG) and scan-based testing
Experience with test coverage analysis and DFT validation workflows
Familiarity with fixture vendor processes and manufacturing test tools
Experience integrating programming flows into ICT environments
Understanding of high-speed design constraints and testability tradeoffs
Experience supporting pilot builds, ramp, and manufacturing readiness milestones
Exposure to yield improvement and test optimization initiatives
Experience contributing to DFT standards or design guidelines
Core Competencies
Manufacturing Test Ownership - Delivers test readiness aligned to program milestones
DFT Expertise - Ensures scalable, testable hardware designs
Cross-Functional Leadership - Aligns design, manufacturing, and vendors
Technical Problem Solving - Drives root cause and resolution in production
Execution Excellence - Delivers under aggressive schedules with high quality
Data-Driven Improvement - Improves yield and efficiency through analytics
Communication & Influence - Engages effectively across engineering and operations
Compensation:
The target salary range for this position is 147,900 - 220,000 USD.
