Job description

1. Perform component-level troubleshooting on defective PCBAs and functional test failures generated from the production floor.

2. Interpret electrical schematics, circuit diagrams, layout files, and engineering documents to isolate root causes of circuit abnormalities or component failures.

3. Utilize diagnostic instruments such as digital oscilloscopes, multimeters, DC power supplies, logic analyzers, and specialized test software to trace signals and verify board behavior.

4. Perform high-precision manual soldering, desoldering, and component replacement (including SMT parts, IC chips, passives, and connectors) in compliance with IPC standards.

5. Maintain and update the production line failure logging system; systematically record defect codes, failed components, root causes, and repair actions taken.

6. Collaborate closely with Test Engineers and Quality Engineers to provide real-time feedback on recurring defects, component issues, or design anomalies to drive continuous yield improvement.

7. Partner with the Test Technician to use verified reference units ("Golden Boards") to isolate whether a failure stems from the product itself or an anomaly in the testing fixture.

8. Provide active technical assistance to line operators and testing teams to address sudden spikes in product fallout or test sequence failures.

9. Maintain a clean, organized, and safe ESD-safe environment at the debugging workstation; strictly adhere to company environmental and safety guidelines.
