Job summary

IoTronix in Penang, Malaysia seeks a PCBA Debugging Technician responsible for component-level troubleshooting on defective PCBAs, and high-precision soldering repairs, collaborating with engineering and quality teams.

You will interpret schematics, use oscilloscopes and multimeters, log failure data, and contribute to yield improvements while maintaining an ESD-safe environment on the production floor.

Responsibilities

• Perform component-level troubleshooting on defective PCBAs and functional test failures generated from the production floor.
• Interpret electrical schematics, circuit diagrams, layout files, and engineering documents to isolate root causes of circuit abnormalities or component failures.
• Utilize diagnostic instruments such as digital oscilloscopes, multimeters, DC power supplies, logic analyzers, and specialized test software to trace signals and verify board behavior.
• Perform high-precision manual soldering, desoldering, and component replacement (including SMT parts, IC chips, passives, and connectors) in compliance with IPC standards.
• Maintain and update the production line failure logging system; systematically record defect codes, failed components, root causes, and repair actions taken.
• Collaborate with Test Engineers and Quality Engineers to provide real-time feedback on recurring defects, component issues, or design anomalies to drive continuous yield improvement.
• 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.
• Provide active technical assistance to line operators and testing teams to address sudden spikes in product fallout or test sequence failures.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe ESD-safe environment at the debugging workstation; strictly adhere to company environmental and safety guidelines.
