TL;DR · RF Engineering Technician D

RF Engineering Technician D will support the design and manufacturing of tracking, telemetry, and command products for airborne and space-based applications. Working within a specialized technical team, the individual will perform design verification testing on circuit cards and high-level RF assemblies while troubleshooting circuits to the component level to determine root causes of failure. The role involves writing alignment and test procedures, overseeing environmental testing of developmental hardware, and serving as a liaison between engineering and production teams during new product introductions. Key technical requirements include proficiency with digital multi-meters, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, and power meters. Candidates must understand RF parameters like S-parameters and gain compression, interpret electrical schematics, and possess experience with mmW circuitry, power conversion circuits, and soldering. The role addresses critical challenges in satellite communication links and signal processing technology.

What you'll do

  • Perform design verification testing on circuit cards and high-level RF assemblies.
  • Troubleshoot circuits to the component level to determine root causes of failure.
  • Write alignment and test procedures with minimal engineering assistance.
  • Oversee environmental testing for developmental hardware.
  • Serve as a liaison between engineering and production teams during new product introductions.
  • Integrate and test advanced satellite communication links, digital telemetry, and signal processing technology.

What we're looking for

  • High School Diploma and at least 8 years of relevant experience, or an Associate's Degree with at least 4 years of related experience.
  • Ability to obtain a DOD Secret security clearance.
  • Minimum 4 years of experience performing testing and troubleshooting circuit card assemblies (preferred).
  • Minimum 4 years of experience using basic electrical measurement equipment like multimeters, oscilloscopes, and function generators (preferred).
  • Minimum 4 years of experience using RF measurement equipment such as spectrum analyzers and network analyzers (preferred).
  • Familiarity with basic RF parameters and analog/digital/DC circuit parameters (preferred).
  • Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics and assembly drawings (preferred).
  • U.S. citizens.
