Manufacturing Technician

Are you a dynamic and detail-oriented Manufacturing Technician specializing in Test Hardware and Software? Do you enjoy a high paced work environment with dynamic teams, exceptional high quality principles and the autonomy to make a positive impact on the business? Do you love hands on work in the Automotive Manufacturing business? Have you worked with Keysight/Agilent 3070 systems? Then you might be interested in our Manufacturing Technician position. Here are a few details of the job: Core Hardware Responsibilities: ICT Test Fixture & Keysight/Agilent 3070 System Maintenance Test Fixture Change-overs: Perform test fixture change-overs on the ICT test systems based on production needs. Test Fixture Maintenance & Repair: Re-wire, repair, and replace worn or bent pogo pins (test probes), sockets, and personality pins within bed-of-nails fixtures. Troubleshoot fixture electrical path issues (e.g., high-resistance connections, broken wire wraps, floating grounds, or intermittent shorts). Repair mechanical actuators, vacuum seal gaskets, hold-down rods, and pneumatic pressure plates to maintain proper physical alignment during actuation. Keysight/Agilent 3070 Tester Hardware Upkeep: Perform routine preventive maintenance (PM) on the 3070 mainframe, including power supply checks, system calibration, air filter cleaning, and cooling fan replacements. Diagnose and replace faulty system cards (Control Cards, Pin Cards, Hybrid Cards, ASRU modules, or System Power Supplies) using diagnostic software routines. Ability to solder/unsolder or touch-up through-hole and SMT components on system cards. Clean and inspect interface receiver pins to prevent high-contact resistance or frame damage. Run periodic diagnostic routines (fixture test, fixture health checks, and self-tests) on the 3070 platform to verify system pin integrity. Perform "Golden Board" verifications to ensure fixtures are working correctly. Log fixture insertion counts to execute preventive probe replacements before contact degradation affects line yields. Core Test Software Responsibilities Test Routine Modifications (BT-Basic): Update, edit, and debug test routines written in BT-Basic (testplan, analog functional, digital functional, unpowered analog tests). Adjust test limits, delays, and guard ratios to eliminate false failures, marginal passes, or intermittent open/short flags caused by component tolerances. Use BT-Basic debug environments to step through failing test nodes, analyze analog measurement waveforms, and isolate software bugs from actual hardware faults. Adjust digital vector timings, drive levels, and receive thresholds for digital IC testing. Quality Compliance: Ensure all software edits pass engineering validation ("Golden Board" run) before releasing the updated test files back to the active production line. Nidec will not accept unsolicited resumes from individual recruiters or third party recruiting agencies in response to Nidec job postings. No fee will be paid to third parties who submit unsolicited candidates directly to the hiring managers. Pre-approval from the Nidec Talent Acquisition team is required before any external candidate can be submitted and such candidate must be submitted to the Nidec Talent Acquisition team. #J-18808-Ljbffr
