- Experience with ATE systems and automated test development.
- Ability to write/debug test software (C/C++, C#, Python or similar).
- Solid understanding of analogue/digital electronics and fault‑finding down to component level.
- Familiarity with communication protocols (SPI, I2C, RS‑232/485, Ethernet).
- Experience with fault finding and rework
- Strong analytical mindset, resilience in a production environment, and the ability to manage multiple priorities.

Ideal For You If…
