The Microcircuit Emulation Center at SRI International in Princeton, NJ (formerly Sarnoff Corporation) is looking for a Test Technician to support the manufacturing of microcircuits on site at our Princeton, NJ location. Through the Generalized Emulation of Microcircuits (GEM) program, the Microcircuit Emulation Center supplies form, fit, function, and interface replacements for obsolete microcircuits. CHECK OUT OUR WORK!

A Test Technician is needed to ensure manufactured microcircuits meet all necessary requirements before they reach the customer.  The Test Technician will support production by performing physical testing of the electronic devices and following internal quality test procedures as per Mil Std 883 test method requirements for electrical and environmental tests on the final delivered microcircuit.
