Senior Test Automation Engineer

Shape the quality and reliability of the PCB assemblies and embedded technologies powering the next generation of EV charging solutions. At ABB E-mobility, we are accelerating the transition to sustainable transportation through innovative charging technologies. We are looking for a Senior Test Automation Engineer to join our Operations Test Engineering team and lead the development of robust manufacturing test solutions for PCB assemblies used across our EV charging portfolio. In this role, you will drive the definition, deployment, and continuous improvement of automated board-level test strategies, covering functional test, in-circuit test, embedded systems, and analog validation. Working closely with hardware, firmware, manufacturing, and quality teams, you will help ensure production excellence, first-pass yield, defect containment, traceability, and scalable release evidence from prototype builds through mass production.

Si assicuri di inviare la sua candidatura con tutte le informazioni richieste, come indicato nella panoramica del lavoro riportata di seguito.
Your Responsibilities

• 
  
• Design, develop, and deploy automated Functional Circuit Test (FCT) solutions for PCB assemblies, validating firmware readiness, communication interfaces, I/O functionality, power supplies, sensors, safety circuits, analog signal chains, calibration data, and diagnostic coverage under controlled operating conditions.
  
• Define and implement In-Circuit Test (ICT) strategies to detect manufacturing defects including shorts, opens, missing or incorrect components, polarity issues, passive-value deviations, power and ground integrity problems, and structural assembly faults before functional validation.
  
• Develop embedded-system test automation solutions covering firmware programming, boot verification, configuration management, communication protocol validation, non-volatile memory checks, embedded diagnostics, and JTAG/boundary-scan access where applicable.
  
• Create robust validation methods for analog and mixed-signal boards, including power rails, voltage and current sensing, ADC/DAC paths, signal conditioning, isolation circuits, calibration routines, measurement uncertainty, tolerance windows, and noise-sensitive measurements.
  
• Partner with PCB design and firmware teams to drive Design-for-Testability (DfT), ensuring test-point accessibility, programming access, fixture compatibility, reset and clock control, boundary-scan planning, diagnostic hooks, and automation-ready board architectures.
  
• Build end-to-end traceability between product requirements, schematics, PCB nets, test cases, measured parameters, pass/fail limits, production logs, release gates, and manufacturing quality metrics.
  
• Specify and integrate production test infrastructure, including bed-of-nails fixtures, flying-probe strategies, functional fixtures, programmable power supplies, electronic loads, oscilloscopes, DMMs, DAQ systems, protocol analyzers, safety interlocks, and automated instrumentation.
  
• Analyze ICT and FCT failures, distinguish manufacturing defects from design, hardware, firmware, fixture, or process issues, and drive corrective actions to improve first-pass yield, cycle time, coverage, maintainability, and production quality.
  
• Manage test-software releases and traceability using Azure DevOps and Git, supporting requirements management, repositories, pull requests, defect tracking, version control, CI/CD integration, and controlled deployment of production test applications.
  

Your Background

• 
  
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Mechatronics, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or a related technical discipline.
  
• Significant experience in PCBA manufacturing test engineering, production test engineering, or board-level validation, ideally within EV charging, automotive, power electronics, industrial electronics, or embedded-system environments.
  
• Proven expertise developing automated PCBA Functional Circuit Test (FCT) solutions, including firmware interaction, communication interfaces, I/O verification, calibration routines, sensor validation, analog measurements, and automated pass/fail evaluation.
  
• Strong knowledge of ICT methodologies, flying-probe testing, bed-of-nails fixtures, structural fault coverage, test-point strategy, opens/shorts detection, component-value verification, fixture diagnostics, and power/ground validation.
  
• Experience with embedded systems testing, including firmware flashing, serial communication, CAN, Ethernet, USB, JTAG/boundary scan, memory validation, configuration management, boot verification, and embedded debugging.
  
• Solid understanding of analog and mixed-signal validation techniques, covering power regulators, references, ADC/DAC circuits, curr
