  • Documentation of test equipment operating instructions and troubleshooting guides. You’ll also need to clearly document your design thinking and decisions when developing new test capabilities.

• Technical support for our on-site production line;
  • Investigate and fix problematic PCBs from the production line including diagnosis of any product returns.
  • Assist our PCB manufacturing partners with technical support for production issues.
  • Documenting and co-ordinating the release of design changes between the Engineering and Production teams.
  • Provide design input and feedback on active product development projects to ensure smooth future releases to active production lines.

• Be an active member of our Evnex team;
  • Contribute positively to the team culture and embrace the company core values. (See our values here: https://www.evnex.com/about)

Who we're looking for

A personable and motivated person with a passion for working with electronics. You’ll be comfortable working in a small multi-discipline design team, you’ll love to learn new things and you’ll be a strong self-starter.

You will be able to demonstrate the following:

• At least 3 years of experience developing and/or maintaining production test equipment.
• The ability to understand technical requirements and translate them into designs.
