What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Flying Probe Test Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Flying Probe Test Engineer, you need a solid understanding of electronics, PCB testing principles, and troubleshooting, usually backed by a degree in electrical engineering or a related field. Familiarity with flying probe testers (such as those from Takaya or Acculogic), test software, and CAD systems is essential. Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and effective problem-solving abilities are critical soft skills for this position. These competencies ensure accurate fault detection and efficient testing, which are vital for maintaining high product quality in electronics manufacturing.

What are some common challenges faced by Flying Probe Test Engineers, and how can they be addressed?

Flying Probe Test Engineers often encounter challenges such as diagnosing intermittent faults, managing varying test coverage requirements for different PCB designs, and optimizing test times. These can be addressed by staying updated on the latest test strategies, collaborating closely with design and production teams to clarify test points, and leveraging advanced software tools for efficient fault detection and analysis. Regular communication with engineering and quality assurance teams helps ensure the testing process aligns with overall production goals and quality standards.

What is a Flying Probe tester?

A Flying Probe tester is an automated testing machine used primarily in electronics manufacturing to check the functionality and connectivity of printed circuit boards (PCBs). Unlike traditional test fixtures, it uses moveable probes that 'fly' to various test points on the board, making it suitable for prototypes and small production runs. Flying Probe testers can detect issues such as open circuits, short circuits, and component placement errors without needing a custom fixture for each board design. This flexibility makes them a cost-effective solution for low- to medium-volume testing and quick turnaround times.

What is the difference between Flying Probe vs Automated Test Engineer?

AspectFlying ProbeAutomated Test Engineer
CredentialsTechnical diploma or certification in electronics or PCB testingBachelor's degree in electrical engineering or related field
Work EnvironmentElectronics manufacturing, PCB testing labsElectronics, software, and hardware testing environments
Industry UsagePCB manufacturing, electronics assemblyElectronics product development, quality assurance
Job FocusManual and semi-automated PCB testing using flying probe machinesDesign, develop, and maintain automated testing systems and scripts

Flying Probe technicians primarily operate testing equipment to verify PCB functionality, while Automated Test Engineers develop and manage automated testing systems. Both roles are essential in electronics manufacturing but differ in technical scope and responsibilities.

Job description

Job Description
JOB TITLE: Flying Probe Test Technician
DEPARTMENT: Test Department
REPORTING TO: Test Manager
PRIMARY FUNCTION OF POSITION:
The Flying Probe Test Technician uses design CAD data, the project Bill of Materials,
schematics, and the Test Software tools to generate complete test programs. The
Technician then does a full de-bug of the test program, referencing the board schematic.
Test Technicians provide Test Operators with test programs to load and run the boards
through flying probe test machines. Technicians constantly review the department
schedule, project schedule, and test machine availability to determine the most efficient
method to meet test complexity and schedule requirements.
DESCRIPTION OF DUTIES:
  • Review the project complexity, test machine schedule, and project schedule, and
    determine the appropriate test platform for the project.
  • Generate test programs from CAD data, the project Bill of Materials, and schematic
    using the test machine software.
  • De-bug test programs using board schematics and component data sheets.
  • Review high-level errors found during the test phase, and perform appropriate test
    and board de-bug procedures.
  • May be responsible for supervising the department staff and assigning tasks in order
    to meet schedules during periods when the Flying Probe Test Supervisor is
    unavailable.
  • Other duties as assigned.

PREFERRED EDUCATION/EXPERIENCE REQUIRED:
  • 2-year degree (Associates) in Electronics or Electronics Technology from an accredited institution.
  • Must pass and maintain CIS certification for IPC-A-610 standard.
  • Specialized military training in electronics may be considered in lieu of the 2 year degree.
  • Minimum of 1-year experience in Flying Probe or In-Circuit test (ICT) program development.

PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS:
  • Frequent lifting of 10 to 15 pounds, occasional lifting of up to 25 pounds.

This job description is not designed to cover or contain a comprehensive listing of activities, duties or responsibilities that are required of the employee. Nothing in this job description restricts management's right to assign or reassign duties and responsibilities to this job at any time.
