Radio Frequency Test Engineer As part of the Electromagnetic Warfare team, you will serve as an Electrical Test Engineer responsible for ensuring that defense hardware meets stringent quality standards and production throughput requirements. You will manage test activities across the manufacturing value stream, from system-level checkouts to component-level validation. Your daily work involves troubleshooting complex electrical issues, developing failure mode libraries, performing root cause analysis on non-conforming hardware, and creating work instructions for technicians within MES systems. You will also optimize test strategies, maintain calibrated equipment, and collaborate with design teams to improve product features based on data analytics. Required skills include proficiency in Linux, Ubuntu, LabVIEW, and NixOS, alongside experience with PCBA testing standards and tools like oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and power supplies. This role addresses the technical challenge of manufacturing high-quality hardware for electromagnetic warfare systems.

What you'll do

  • Manage production test flows and provide hands-on troubleshooting for complex electrical issues during testing.
  • Maintain test capabilities across the manufacturing value stream from system level checkouts to component validation.
  • Improve existing test systems to enhance automation, consistency, cycle time, and overall test coverage.
  • Create clear work instructions for technicians and train them on proper equipment usage.
  • Develop a library of common failure modes with troubleshooting guides for rapid issue resolution.
  • Perform root cause analysis on product failures and recommend corrective actions.
  • Analyze test data and provide detailed reports to identify defects and areas for improvement.
  • Maintain and calibrate electrical test equipment to ensure precision and reliability during production.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical/Electronics, Computer, Mechanical Engineering, or related fields.
  • 5+ years of relevant industry experience with an emphasis on manufacturing test and product sustainment.
  • Familiarity with Linux, Ubuntu, LabVIEW, and NixOS.
  • Experience with contract manufacturers in testing PCBA and electronic assemblies using standard methods.
  • Familiarity with electronics test equipment including power supplies, oscilloscopes, function generators, and spectrum analyzers.
  • Strong root cause analysis skills for non-conforming hardware.
  • Familiarity with PLM, MES, and TES systems.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
