If you are an enthusiastic professional interested in being part of a fast-growing company with strong engineering and research culture, we are looking for a passionate Production Test/Process Engineer to join the team and help us.

Disruptive mobility tech companies like Technica are driving the changes in electronics architecture that the industry needs to accelerate the arrival of the software-defined vehicle era. As hardware systems for the next generation of automotive connectivity and computing platforms grow in complexity, the prototypes production team working close to our engineering team has become a decisive factor in being able to accelerate the timing between development and production phases, to cover the market needs in the quickest way possible.

“The ideal candidate is curious to dig deep into how our hardware products work, is able to understand complex electronic designs and is a team player who is not afraid to challenge the boundaries of their current position, interacting closely with the development team”

MAIN FUNCTIONS

• Collaborate on design of semi-automated end-of-line tests systems.
• Lead assembly, maintenance and continuous improvement activities of semi-automated end-of-line tests systems.
• Improve testing systems for existing products by adding capabilities and expanding test coverage, among others.
• Define timelines, milestones, and testing requirements for new product prototypes in the early phases of their introduction into the Technica portfolio.
• Generate technical documentation for test equipment, including user manuals, test coverage reports, and verification guides.
• Generate production reports using statistical tools to track KPIs and identify manufacturing issues.
• Analyse PCBA schematics and understand full product functionality to diagnose failures and repair line rejects.
• Provide technical production validation support to cross-functional team members (HW/SW).
• Provide technical support to HW/SW team members on design for testing and design for manufacturing (DFT / DFM) topics.
• Generate accurate periodic reporting of project status and blocking points for the introduction of new products.

WHAT WE OFFER

• Full flexibility to manage hybrid work model, depending on the tasks.
• Attractive professional career development in a truly cross-functional product team—where hardware, software and prototypes production come together, silos don’t exist, and everyone collaborates around a shared mission: building a better product, together.
• A strong engineering- and research-driven culture, with a clear commitment to reinvesting in innovation through new products and the continuous growth of our know-how.
• Be part of an environment where curiosity is valued, deep thinking is encouraged, and taking the time to truly understand a problem is seen not as a delay—but as a smart investment.
