TE is the abbreviation of Test Engineer, which means test engineer. Most factories that produce computer peripheral products such as network cards, switches and routers have this position, and some are called production technicians. There is no clear definition of TE's job responsibilities on the internet. What I have written is just my feelings as a TE in recent years. The first thing TE should do is to teach testers to learn to think and learn to learn. Pay attention to everything and learn. Most of the testers are 16 and 17 years old. This is the best time of my life. They should have studied at school, but they lost their study time for other reasons. TE should assume this social responsibility and treat testers as their brothers and sisters. Maybe we can't teach testers a lot of knowledge, but we must let them learn to think. Think about your work and life. Second, TE should be a bridge to spread knowledge. Most people who do this job should be college graduates, majoring in computer and familiar with computers and peripheral products. Therefore, in their daily work, such as repairing platforms and changing lines, they should take the initiative to explain to testers the functions of the products under test, what problems they encounter in testing and how to solve these small problems. This qualified factory should also compile this knowledge into a manual and train testers. At present, most factories do training, and most of them are training in basic knowledge such as electrostatic protection and 5s. These trainings are useful for production in other departments, but useless for testers to improve productivity. The productivity of skilled testers is usually more than twice that of new employees. A relatively easy-to-test PCI network card model, a skilled employee can test more than 500 cards, and a novice can test more than 200 cards at most. It will take at least three months for a new employee to become an old hand if he gropes for it himself. If trained, the novice can reach the production level of the veteran within one month. Testing is a bottleneck in many factories. This factory doesn't exist now, nor does the factory where I used to work. I try my best to promote this kind of training. Later, this kind of training became a form. I was disappointed and left. I did a training the day before I left. The compilation of training materials is very hard. We don't have an office computer, so we use the test computer of the production line. Sometimes there is no exam on the computer, and often we have to borrow the camera from the computer in the middle of a chapter. After training, testers can easily reach the production capacity, and the workload of 10 hour can be met in 8 hours. I was surprised after counting the production capacity and reported to the supervisor. The supervisor never believed me. He thinks I'm lying to him. I thought so before, but I don't know if I think so now. Anyway, when I walk in the street, people I don't know often greet us. I only vaguely remember that they used to be testers in my original factory. Third, TE should make a summary and record the problems that need to be paid attention to in daily work, so as to nip in the bud. There are only three TE stations in the original factory, and about 70 stations need to be managed. Our daily shift book is written in detail, including station failure, how to repair it and what causes it. At the beginning of the wind, all three of us were surprised, but later we were not busy, because we took preventive measures and wrote a handover book, which provided the basis and focus when compiling training materials. Now my factory is TE, making daily reports, without summarizing them. It's the same every day, with a little problem. TesTErs are going to te, which is not good. Fourth, TE should plan ahead. TE's work is repetitive, and there are not many new models. Although each failure is different, the reasons are also very different. For example, when measuring a P CI network card, the PCI card slot is used, and the number of cards inserted in the PCI adapter slot increases, and the spring pin inside will be deformed. Bad card slot will lead to blue screen, poor throughput, failure of card catching, Huang Ka and failure of power value measurement. After the defective card slot is removed, it can be seen clearly with the naked eye, so it is necessary to take precautions. When testing PCI cards, a card slot should be reserved on the platform, which can be replaced in time after confirming the defects. My former factory did a good job, but my present factory can't. I can't find a card slot when I use it, let alone a spare one. Fifth, TE should improve its procedures. People who are good at water are not only good at water but also good at boating. Test procedures and fixtures are the basis of our test work. The tester's job is boring and boring. I don't know how many times I have to do the same set of movements a day, so I must do a good job of preventing stupidity and minimize mistakes in my work. For example, if you need to burn a MAC, you should use a scanner to scan the MAC into the test program. After passing the test, the program can clear the scanned MAC, which will greatly reduce the phenomenon of MAC address error and reduce the pressure of follow-up work. The eyes of the masses are discerning. As long as you communicate with testers and listen to their opinions, you will find that there are many places to improve. If I make a little progress every day, my job will become easier and easier. Sixth, TE should have the ability of anomaly analysis. In most factories, abnormal analysis is mainly handled by professional PE process engineers. The abnormality is reported by the production line, and then analyzed and handled. It takes almost one day from the production line to the analysis and treatment. If TE has the ability of anomaly analysis, it can handle the anomaly at the initial stage, which can save a lot of working time and improve work efficiency. Unfortunately, the TE of most manufacturers does not have the ability of anomaly analysis. I noticed this problem when I was in the original factory, so I went to the maintenance team for half a year. After studying, I didn't get the appreciation of the supervisor, but I was always picked on by the supervisor. I felt very sad, so I left my job. Although the salary in the factory is better and the work is easier now, it is a pity that TE has no ability to analyze anomalies at all. Whose sorrow is this? Seventh, about the production of SOP. Most factories have special personnel to do SOP during the testing stage. Most of the so-called special people can't even test, watching operators do work instructions. Can the instructions made in this way be used? Ask any tester in a factory what SOP does, and most of them will get the answer: SOP should be hung up during the test, otherwise IPQC is not allowed to work. Further question: Did you watch SOP during the exam? A: No. In other words, in most factories, the function of SOP is to handle the audit of quality control. In my original factory, I led the improvement of SOP. We borrowed it from the platform when we didn't have an office computer. Our SOP is very detailed and can be understood by ordinary testers. When I left, the work was still going on. I don't know what happened now. That's all I thought of for the time being. What depresses me is that in the eyes of most executives, TE means repairing computers and standing in line, and these are exactly the basic skills that TE should have. If TE is regarded as watermelon, then building a website and repairing a computer are all skins, and the seven points I said are the best watermelon meat. Look at our equipment, there is no special office computer, but many people have one, and there is no internet access. Speaking of surfing the Internet, most executives are afraid of us surfing the Internet. In fact, if each of us has a computer and can surf the Internet, we will do our work better so as to have more time to surf the Internet. I hope that one day TE's main job is no longer to change wires and repair computers, but how to improve productivity, work efficiency and have more time of his own. Can my wish come true? I find it difficult. Maybe it will come true one day when I become a supervisor. I will try my best to be a supervisor, even a team leader. Can I be the supervisor? God knows, I don't know.
