How can I program esp32 after assembly on a PCB?

We have a project on new production which is based on PCB including esp32. How can our hardware engineer program it after PCBA process by supplier?

Jumper the device to start into the serial boot loader, connect the UART to an off-board USB-UART adapter,
Run the well-known python tool for downloading just as you would with the dev board.

Or get the chip to tristate the flash pins, contact them with something else and directly write the flash.

Or program the flash chip before soldering it in place.

Next time around have a connector, edge fingers, or pads for a pogo-pin spring contact jig.

What is an average CPH speed for hand SMD assembly?

What would be the average speed of assembling surface mount components on to a PCB for an experienced person? Assuming they have desk that is correctly set up (pick and place station) and the PCB has solder paste already applied.

Why does the manufacturer use a flying probe tester when they already have an in-circuit tester?

Last week, I visit a PCBA manufacturer for our new project. They not only introduce in-circuit tester but also flying probe tester, which can both ensure the quality level. So, Why does the manufacturer use a flying probe tester when they already have an in-circuit tester?

Is home-made soldering aluminum PCB soldering different from ordinary PCBs in factory assembly line?

I am wondering if i ordered some aluminum pcbs that contain D2pak transistors and i want to solder a couple of them for testing is it possible using basic equipment or does it need an reflow soldering oven.
