- In-Circuit test (ICT) and Manufacturing Defect Analyzer (MDA)
- Boundary Scan/ JTAG
- Board-level functional test
- ESS/HASS
- System test
- The process of developing test solutions includes, but is not limited to:
- Test solution development (Test Strategy, Test Gate Definition, Test Plans, Concept Design, Test Coverage Analysis, Capacity Analysis, DFT)
- Test Station(s) design (hardware, software, fixture, assembly, integration, validation, documentation, deployment, verification, training, factory support)
- Project tracking (action items, journals, time entry, milestones, and deliverables checklists)
- Design reviews (Initial and post-installation)
- Documentation packages (test specification, BOM’s, Test Station setup, Test Procedures, etc.)
- International Travel to deploy testers to Manufacturing Facilities, and train Factory Test Engineers, Technicians, Operators, etc.
Development of test solution quotes:
- Test solution quotes typically include, but are not limited to:
- Test Solution Description (Test Strategy, Test Station concept design(s))
