The role of Flying Probe Test Operator is crucial in ensuring the quality and reliability of printed circuit boards (PCBs) during the manufacturing process. As a Flying Probe Test Operator, you will be responsible for setting up, operating, and monitoring a range of automatic and semi-automatic testing equipment designed to inspect PCBs for defects and verify their compliance with specified tolerances. This role requires the ability to follow detailed process sheets, written instructions, and verbal guidance from supervisors to complete production tasks accurately and efficiently. This position offers an exciting opportunity for individuals interested in electronics manufacturing and quality assurance, especially those with experience in PCB testing environments.
As a Flying Probe Test Operator, you will work closely with production teams to ensure that all PCBs are tested using advanced equipment such as Takaya machines and ATG flying probe systems. Your primary responsibility will be to identify any defects or inconsistencies in the PCBs, segregating scrap or boards that require rework from those that meet quality standards. In addition, you will occasionally perform hands-on rework, such as removing excess copper shorts with precision tools, often utilizing magnification equipment to ensure accuracy and safety. This highly technical role requires a keen eye for detail, strong manual dexterity, and a commitment to maintaining the highest standards of product quality.
The Flying Probe Test Operator position is an excellent fit for individuals with prior experience in PCB testing and a solid understanding of electronics manufacturing processes. Candidates should be comfortable reading and interpreting detailed instructions, communicating effectively in English, and adapting to changing production demands, including occasional overtime or weekend shifts. Working in this role provides valuable exposure to state-of-the-art testing equipment, ongoing skill development, and the opportunity to contribute to the production of high-quality electronic products.
Our company values precision, teamwork, and continuous improvement.
