TL;DR · Engineering Technician IV

The Engineering Technician 4 works within an RF electronics prototype development laboratory to support research, development, and transition-to-production efforts for various products focusing on radio frequency circuits and telemetry systems. This role involves building, testing, and troubleshooting RF electronic circuit boards, test setups, cables, assemblies, and fixtures while providing technical support to engineers. The individual will gather and manipulate technical data, produce engineering documentation such as flow charts and schematics, and perform preliminary analyses of circuit performance and antenna characterization. Key requirements include six years of electronics experience, proficiency with vector network analyzers, signal generators, and oscilloscopes, along with advanced soldering skills for surface mount and through-hole components. The role requires the ability to read schematics, use hand tools, and interpret complex RF and microwave measurement techniques within a high-tech hardware development environment.

What you'll do

  • Build, test, and troubleshoot RF electronic circuit boards, cables, assemblies, and test fixtures.
  • Provide technical support to engineers during research, development, and transition-to-production phases.
  • Gather, format, and manipulate technical data such as laboratory results and engineering design changes.
  • Produce engineering documentation including reports, flow charts, block diagrams, and schematics.
  • Perform preliminary analyses of circuit performance and antenna characterization based on provided guidelines.
  • Solder electronic assemblies for both surface mount and through-hole components.
  • Operate RF test equipment including vector network analyzers, signal generators, and spectrum analyzers.
  • Develop assembly processes and test procedures to improve engineering workflows.

What we're looking for

  • Must have 6 years of electronics experience.
  • Must be a U.S. Citizen.
  • Must have the ability to acquire a Security Clearance.
  • Must possess basic soldering skills and the ability to earn IPC J-STD-001 certification with provided training.
  • Must be able to read schematics, follow instructions, and communicate effectively.
  • Must be familiar with RF circuit test equipment including vector network analyzers and signal generators.
  • Associate Degree or 2 year certificate in electronics technology, or equivalent education (preferred).
  • Advanced understanding of electronics fundamentals, testing, troubleshooting, and RF/microwave concepts (preferred).
