About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Test Technician to serve as a key technical leader within our manufacturing and test engineering team. In this role, you will take ownership of diagnosing, analyzing, and resolving complex issues across advanced electronic assemblies — from intricate circuit-level failures to software-driven test challenges.

This position is ideal for a technician who enjoys solving sophisticated technical problems, improving test processes, mentoring team members, and contributing directly to product quality and customer success.

What You’ll Do

Core Technical Responsibilities

• Diagnose and resolve complex test and functional failures on assembled circuit boards and electronic sub-assemblies.
• Perform advanced circuit analysis to identify root causes in analog, digital, mixed-signal, and SMT environments.
• Develop, refine, and optimize ATE (Automated Test Equipment) and functional test processes to improve throughput, repeatability, and accuracy.
• Support the creation and enhancement of test software, test scripts, and custom fixtures, collaborating closely with engineering.
• Provide DFT (Design for Testability) feedback to external customers to ensure products are designed with efficient testing in mind.

Leadership & Collaboration

• Serve as a technical mentor, training manufacturing associates in advanced troubleshooting techniques, best practices, and diagnostic tools.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, quality, and production teams to drive continuous improvement and reduce recurring issues.
• Lead or participate in systematic team-based problem-solving initiatives (8D, RCCA, DMAIC, etc.).

What You Bring

Experience & Technical Skills

• 5+ years of hands-on experience as an electronics or test technician working with complex systems and sub-assemblies.
• Two-year degree in Electronics Technology, Engineering Technology, or equivalent experience.
• Strong knowledge of electronics theory, circuit analysis, signal tracing, and troubleshooting methodologies.
• Proficiency with standard electronic test equipment: oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, ICT, flying probe, etc.
• Comfortable working with SMT components, fine-pitch devices, and high-density PCBs.
• Advanced computer skills including Excel (VLOOKUPs, data analysis) and general MS Office proficiency.
• Familiarity with programming or scripting in C#, C++, VB.NET, or LabVIEW.
• Experience with HP3070 ICT and Flying Probe testers (preferred but not required).

Soft Skills & Competencies

• Excellent communication skills, able to explain complex concepts clearly to technicians and engineers.
• Demonstrated success with structured problem-solving methods.
• High accountability with the ability to work both independently and within cross-functional teams.
• Ability to pass a Test Technician Competency Exam.

Why Join Us?

• Work as a core technical leader where your knowledge directly influences product quality and manufacturing efficiency.
• Opportunities to learn, innovate, and grow with new test methodologies, automation tools, and advanced diagnostics.
• Collaborative, technician-driven culture that values expertise, autonomy, and continuous improvement.
• Accessible Beaverton workplace conveniently located near public transit.
