Assembly of radiation test PCBs for components to be tested
Test of the assembled PCBs and debugging of circuits in the laboratory
Soldering and adapting of parts if needed
Automation of radiation test setups and test report generation
Attending the radiation test campaign at the particle accelerator facility, if required
Understanding the effects of radiation to electronic circuits and create comprehensive test reports
