Zentech is one of the leading and most highly certified U.S.-based Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) providers in North America. We support original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of medical devices, aerospace and defense products, and industrial equipment with engineering and manufacturing solutions spanning product design, printed circuit board layout, test development, and manufacturing support through the entire product lifecycle.

Our work is unseen but vital, including support for domestic and foreign military customers who rely on our technical expertise to keep warfighters safe and the nation's networks secure. Zentech has built deep strengths in manufacturing high-reliability, high-complexity, low-to-medium-volume printed circuit boards and box builds, with best-in-class scalability to higher-volume production. Proudly Made in America, our team works together every day in support of the country's lives and liberties.

Position Description:

Supports the test execution portion of a motherboard/upper level assembly that interfaces to various common PC peripheral functions such as PCI Express, SATA, USB, Ethernet and others. Execute test plans, troubleshoot high density component mixed-signal circuitry. Work closely with other team members throughout the different phases of development. Set up or devise standard or automated test equipment to conduct functional, operational, environmental, and life tests to evaluate performance and reliability of prototype or production assemblies. Analyze test results and repair or adjust assemblies per analysis. Recommend corrections and improvements to test procedures to simplify testing and/or assembly processes.

Major Responsibilities Include:

• Conduct functional tests to measure the performance of production electronic systems, assemblies, and sub-assemblies.
• Test commercial and complex (mil-spec) electronic assemblies with pre-production or prototype documentation.
• Compare test results with specifications and accurately record test data.
• Analyze defective units to determine root cause of failure.
• Help develop processes, tooling and fixtures as required.
• Ensure that all test equipment calibration requirements are maintained.
• Effectively manage time, and complete all tasks as assigned by the supervisor.

Educational Experience:

BS or Associate’s degree (A.A.) from accredited college or technical school in Electrical Engineering or similar discipline (EE/EET/ME preferred), or equivalent military training in Electronics Engineering Technology or related field, and five years related experience.

Experience/Technical Requirements:

• Experience in high speed digital design and/or debug is a must
• Must have experience with high speed digital oscilloscopes and/or protocol analyzers.
• Knowledge of SERDES verification and qualification is a plus.
• Knowledge of electrical test methodology (e.g., stand alone bench, automated, functional test), planning, procedures, equipment (e.g., multimeter, oscilloscope, bus analyzer, automated test systems) and result validation criteria (e.g., pass/fail, control limits, tolerances).
• Knowledge of computer hardware and software components (e.g., processors, memory, interfaces, high order languages), and characteristics (e.g., throughput, processing architecture, timing, capacity).
• Knowledge of Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word).
• Hand- soldering and rework experience is highly desirable.
• A general understanding of the production of printed wiring assemblies is desirable but not required.

Other Requirements:

Must be extensively familiar with AT LEAST three of the following disciplines: (a) solid state electronics, (b) microprocessor applications, (c) digital logic, (d) digital design, (e) communications systems, (f) any other comparable area of fundamental engineering, science, or physics (such as optics, heat transfer, soil mechanics, or electronics). Must be able to multitask in a fast-paced environment effectively. Must have a positive attitude with a desire to excel in a team-oriented culture. Availability and willingness to work alternate shifts as necessary is required.

Physical Demands

Must have good color perception, eyesight, and the ability to effectively use magnification aids such as binocular microscopes and related test equipment. Must have good hand-eye coordination, and the ability to use basic hand tools. Must be able to comfortably lift up to 40 pounds. While performing the duties of this job, the employee is regularly required to sit; use hands, reach with hands and arms, bend and twist to lift and reload items, and talk or hear.
