In-Circuit Test (ICT) Engineer L2 is a specialized role in the electronics manufacturing and testing domain. It involves working with test systems and equipment to verify the proper functionality of printed circuit boards (PCBs), components, and assemblies.

• Test Development
  • Design, develop, and implement in-circuit test programs to validate PCB assembly manufacturing.
  • Create test fixtures and customize test hardware to suit specific designs from prototypes to production runs.
  • Work with Automated Test Equipment (ATE), such as TRI, Teradyne, Keysight (Agilent), or SPEA systems.
• Debug and Troubleshooting
  • Identify and resolve issues in test setups and equipment to ensure accurate and reliable functionality.
  • Analyze test failures, troubleshoot issues at the component level (e.g., resistors, ICs, capacitors, transistors), and suggest solutions.
• Collaboration with Design Teams
  • Collaborate with hardware/design engineers to ensure testability of PCBs during the design stage.
  • Provide feedback to improve manufacturability and test coverage of the circuit boards.
• Failure Analysis and Reporting
  • Perform root cause analysis on test failures and ensure corrective actions are implemented.
  • Generate reports summarizing defects, test coverage, and quality metrics to provide data‑driven insights for manufacturing improvements.
• Test Equipment Maintenance
  • Calibrate and maintain the ICT equipment for reliability and accuracy.
  • Perform updates to software and hardware in the ICT environment as needed.
• Continuous Improvement
  • Develop strategies to optimize test coverage and reduce test execution time.
  • Implement test automation processes to improve the efficiency and consistency of testing procedures.
• Compliance and Standards
  • Ensure that test procedures meet industry standards, company requirements, and certifications such as IPC-A-610 and ISO standards.
  • Validate compliance with design schematics, bills of materials (BOM), and quality assurance processes.
• Training and Documentation
  • Train technicians and operators on using ICT equipment and test setups effectively.
  • Produce clear and detailed documentation for test methodologies, results, and troubleshooting practices.

• A Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, electronics engineering, or a related field is required. (Associate degrees or certifications in electronics with significant experience may also be considered.)
• 3–5 years of experience in testing PCBs, developing ICT programs, and working with ATE systems.

• Core Competencies
  • Strong understanding of electronic components, PCB assembly processes, and circuit design principles.
  • Familiarity with schematics, Gerber files, and PCB layout tools such as Altium, Eagle, or KiCad.
• Test and Debugging Tools
  • Proficiency with in-circuit test equipment such as TRI, Teradyne, Keysight (Agilent), Gen Rad, or SPEA testers.
  • Skilled in using multimeters, oscilloscopes, signal/waveform analyzers, soldering stations, and logic analyzers for debugging.
• Test Programming
  • Experience programming test sequences (often in languages like C, Python, LabVIEW, or proprietary test development environments).
  • Knowledge of boundary scan (JTAG) testing and advanced fault diagnostics is a plus.
• Automation
  • Understanding of automated manufacturing and the role of ICT in a production line.
  • Experience with test automation and scripting for improving test efficiency.
• Quality Assurance
  • Familiarity with IPC standards (e.g., IPC-A-610) for electronics quality and acceptance criteria.
  • Hands‑on experience in statistical analysis of data, metrics reporting, and Six Sigma techniques is an advantage.
• Hardware and Fixture Design
  • Knowledge of designing and developing ICT fixtures, including probe alignment and bed‑of‑nails testing setups.
  • Understanding fixture mechanics and electrical signal integrity for accurate testing.

• Critical thinking:
