Senior Board Test Operations Engineer
About the job
Build the board test solutions that help complex hardware move reliably from new product introduction into volume manufacturing.
You’ll develop and maintain Flying Probe and ICT test programs for Graphcore circuit card assemblies. You’ll deploy these solutions with our manufacturing partners in Taiwan.
Your work will improve test coverage, yield, stability and production efficiency. You’ll analyse test data and resolve PCB and test issues across manufacturing.
You’ll work closely with Product Test and Diagnosis and Manufacturing Operations. You’ll own problems through to resolution and help strengthen testability from product design onwards.
The team and culture
The Product Test and Diagnosis team finds and manages hardware defects across chips, boards and finished systems. Its work spans manufacturing sites and products in the field.
You’ll work closely with design teams and external manufacturing partners. Expect hands-on problem solving, direct communication and clear ownership of test solutions.
You’ll make evidence-led decisions using test results, manufacturing data and technical investigation. When problems appear, you’ll be expected to investigate, speak up and drive practical improvements.
