Job description

You analyze existing designs and determine the most complete and effective test strategy. You do this in close collaboration with colleagues and electronics developers, both internally and externally at the customer. After defining the strategy, you implement the tests in production. Based on the test results, you define and execute improvement actions to optimize the test strategy. We develop tests for PCBA’s as well as complete end products. Together with your colleagues—a team of four Test Engineers—you ensure that production issues are detected quickly and that defective test setups are repaired promptly.
