Every challenge creates possibilities, and we need different perspectives to see them all. Bring yours to Block.</p> <h4><strong>The Role</strong></h4> <p>The Manufacturing Test Engineering team at Block is responsible for making sure that the millions of hardware devices leaving our factories are built according to design and meet (or exceed) customer expectations. We design board-level and end-of-line test stations to test our products, including the following subsystem technologies: display, touch, NFC, audio, WLAN. We’re a diverse group of engineers that use our unique backgrounds to solve challenging problems in our factories. We dabble in electrical engineering, software, mechanicals and data analysis to understand the design intent of our products and understand how we can translate it to scalable test plans. We are Jacks and Jills of all trades, and we thrive on having a deep systems-level understanding of Block’s hardware products. </p> <p>Please note that this role is based in Singapore with frequent travel to Malaysia, Vietnam and China.</p> <h4><strong>You Will</strong></h4> <ul> <li data-start="172" data-end="430"> <p data-start="174" data-end="430">Design, build, and support board-level and product-level functional test stations, including independently debugging and resolving station issues, proactively identifying and implementing improvements, and responding quickly to factory-impacting problems</p> </li> <li data-start="431" data-end="567"> <p data-start="433" data-end="567">Serve as the Directly Responsible Individual (DRI) for test stations, owning development, deployment, and ongoing production support</p> </li> <li data-start="568" data-end="743"> <p data-start="570" data-end="743">Develop and maintain test station software by autonomously writing, reviewing, and debugging code; implementing robust error handling, logging, and diagnostic capabilities</p> </li> <li data-start="744" data-end="946"> <p data-start="746" data-end="946">Analyze test station data and measurements by conducting root cause analysis of test failures, clearly documenting and communicating findings, and proposing and implementing evidence-based solutions</p> </li> <li data-start="947" data-end="1177"> <p data-start="949" data-end="1177">Maintain effective communication with global stakeholders by providing timely updates on status, risks, and blockers; thoroughly documenting technical investigations; and proactively managing and communicating priority changes</p> </li> <li data-start="1178" data-end="1405"> <p data-start="1180" data-end="1405">Drive continuous improvement by identifying opportunities to enhance test coverage, processes, and systems; taking ownership of issues through resolution; and balancing immediate production needs with long-term improvements</p> </li> <li data-start="1406" data-end="1629"> <p data-start="1408" data-end="1629">Collaborate cross-functionally by partnering with Engineering teams on testability requirements, coordinating with factory teams on implementation and rollout, and managing competing priorities across stakeholder groups</p> </li> </ul> <h4><strong>You Have</strong></h4> <ul> <li>5+ years of experience in electronics manufacturing</li> <li>Clear written and spoken English communication skills </li> <li>Experience working in Python, Labview, or similar programming language </li> <li>Experience in statistics, and using SQL, JMP, Matplotlib, or similar data visualization pr ...
