Quest Defense

QA Engineer

• Requirements/specifications review.
• Review schematics, data sheets, BOM, As-Built documentation, and other relevant Design documentation.
• Interfacing with SME internally and with our client and parts manufacturer to evaluate Design Reliability.
• Informal testing, to be performed by QDSS, to verify scale of problem and familiarize QDSS staff with DUT standard operations.
• Develop, and present for client approval, a formal testing plan including, but not limited to:
• Development of any needed hardware, test-equipment, software, FPGA designs to support testing.
• Procurement of any test equipment needed for testing.
• Procurement of any 3rd party services (testing houses, lab space, equipment rentals, etc.) needed for testing.
• Design of Experiments (DOE) testing to provide sufficient data and evidence of the current design’s durability and reliability for client to extrapolate expected product lifetime viability.
• Monitoring and recording of specific electrical characteristics of DUT over time.
• Non-destructive inspection of DUT components (such as X-ray).
• Destructive inspection of DUT components (such as de-capping and photographic inspection). Note that some number of DUT will be returned to client in a non-functional condition. This may be due to either planned damage (de-capping) or due to damage occurring in testing.
• If client has available any returned or damaged parts, particularly those that have been in-use at live facilities, some number of those may be requested to go through a similar testing process.
• Test Report Development & Review, to include all recorded data in a “raw” format, as well as the results of any analysis performed, discussions of trends in the data, reports of any non-conformances or issues discovered during testing or post-mortem inspections.
• Adhering to all applicable Client Engineering development and quality processes, procedures, instructions and guidelines.
• Participation in team meetings and planning activities, as required to support programs covered by this work plan.
