Engineer I, Electronic Testing

How You’ll Help Us Connect the World:

As an Electronic Testing Engineer I, you will serve as a member of the reliability team and be mainly responsible for the testing and certification of the RET system as well as electronic PCBA, including engineering verification test (EVT), design verification test (DVT), ongoing reliability test (ORT), etc.

You are required to have a solid technical background in electronic testing, possess the ability to conduct failure analysis for PCBA, electronic devices and DC motors, and be familiar with the reliability testing process and international standards. This position will lead the development and execution of PCBA testing solutions, ensure that products comply with international regulations, and enable efficient collaboration within a global team. Work closely with multiple business units, R&D teams (located in Italy, America and China), quality, operation and procurement departments to jointly develop and qualify new designs and resolve defects during testing or mass production. This role will be based in Suzhou, China.

 

You Will Make an Impact By:

• Participate in Design for Reliability (DfR) activities: Actively participate in the DfR activities of RET and electronic project teams to assure acceptable risks for both Andrew and customers. Define reliability test plans and draft the schedules.
• Execute testing plans: Based on the target dates given by business or project, draft test plan and execute the design validation, certification, and ORT for RET and active products. Record the test results in a timely and detailed manner.
• Cross-departmental collaboration: Participate in DFMA and risk assessment of multiple design teams. Join cross-functional teams to conduct work related to failure and root cause analysis, cost reduction, and the introduction of new suppliers, materials/parts.
• Reliability testing and reports: Perform major environmental reliability tests (such as temperature and humidity, vibration, IPXX, surge etc.), accelerated life tests (HALT, HASS), and EMC tests, formulate reliability testing plans and output reports.
• Testing development and execution: Carry out the development and execution of RET and electronic testing, design and implement function test of active products and motors, and be proficient in using oscilloscopes, multimeters, ENA, SG, SA, PM, etc. It is best to be able to program control the test instrument.
• Data analysis and improvement: Analyze tested data, locate hardware/ software defects, conduct Failure Mode Analysis (FMA), put forward improvement suggestions and track verification, and coordinate with R&D or suppliers to optimize the design or process.
• Standards and compliance: Ensure that the testing process complies with international norms, such as IPC-A-610, IEC 60068, EN55032, EN55035. Be familiar with the requirements of product certifications and assist in preparing the compliance documents.
• Document management: Draft English reliability & testing reports, operating procedures, technical documents, and maintain the testing database.

 

Required Qualifications for Consideration:

• A bachelor's degree or above in relevant majors such as electronic engineering, automation, measurement and control technology and instrumentation.

• With more than 3 years of work experience in the fields of reliability and electronic & RF testing, be familiar with design of experiments, statistical analysis methods, and failure rate prediction (MTBF). If you are a recent graduate, you need to meet the above major requirements and have the desire and determination to engage in this industry.
• Familiarity with relevant testing equipment (Thermal chamber, vibration table, surge tester, UV chamber etc.) & instrument (ENA, PIM tester, SG, SA, PM, oscilloscopes, multimeters, DAQ etc. is preferred.)
• Be familiar with industry standards related to reliability testing. With an in-depth understanding of EMC/EMI or CE, UKCA certification, FCC, UL, and SGS certification requirements are preferred.
• Have experience in the performance testing of electronic systems, components, as well as radio frequency (RF), printed circuit boards (PCB), and printed circuit board assemblies (PCBA). Have knowledge of the manufacturing processes and testing methods of PCBA, DC motors, Base Station Antenna & Filters.
• Possess excellent interpersonal skills, be able to work efficiently in cross-functional teams, complete tasks by influencing others, and coordinate resources to meet project and customer expectations. Be able to communicate effectively both verbally and in writing in English and Mandarin with various internal and external customers and suppliers.
• Be proficient in using Microsoft Office software and be able and willing to regularly create testing plans, write testing reports, and present the test results.
• Be able and willing to accept business trips accounting for approximately 15% of the time.
• English CET-4 or equivalent, can write technical documents and report.

 

You Will Excite Us If You:

• Have a good knowledge and understanding of antennas, filters, power amplifiers, RRU and RF products, AISG and 3GPP protocol. Be able to skillfully operate RF test instruments, such as ENA, SG, SA & PIM.
• Be proficient in testing automation tools, such as LabVIEW, Python, or C#.
• Possess abundant energy, a strong work ethic, the drive to pursue excellence, strong desire to learn.
