Automated Test Lab

 
Automated Test Lab 1

The systematic testing of complex intelligent systems is one of the key areas of education, research and development at the FH JOANNEUM Institute of Electronic Engineering. The Automated Test Lab offers testing opportunities for both internal purposes and external stakeholders. The range of testing extends from PCB tests to in-circuit functional tests through to R&D tests of integrated circuits and chips.

The Automated Test Lab, or ATE Lab for short, was originally designed and equipped for the Master’s degree programme in System Test Engineering. The laboratory focuses in particular on chip testing and features two Advantest and Teradyne chip testers. External companies are also invited to use the lab for R&D measurements and testing, either independently or with the support of our testing experts.
