• Recognize and communicate job status changes (e.g., holds, shortages, test issues) to appropriate functions.
• Identify and escalate issues related to test equipment, tooling, or documentation that may impact quality or throughput.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and FOD-free work environment.
• Follow ESD controls, safe product-handling practices, and environmental health and safety requirements.
• Ensure proper use and care of tools, fixtures, and calibrated equipment.
• Coordinate with test, engineering, quality, and planning teams to support efficient workflow and on-time delivery performance.
