The RF Manufacturing Test Engineer joins the Electromagnetic Warfare team to manage testing activities across the manufacturing value stream for defense hardware. This role involves maintaining production test flows, performing hands-on troubleshooting of complex electrical issues, and ensuring high-quality product shipments that meet throughput requirements. The engineer will develop work instructions, identify root causes of failures, and optimize automation, cycle times, and data analytics. Key responsibilities include managing component-level validations, collaborating on new product introductions, and maintaining calibrated test equipment. Required technical skills include proficiency with Linux, Ubuntu, LabVIEW, and NixOS, alongside experience with PCBA testing standards and tools like oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and function generators. The role requires expertise in PLM, MES, and TES systems to solve complex hardware challenges within the electromagnetic warfare domain while integrating electrical, mechanical, and software components.
Manage production test flows and provide hands-on troubleshooting for complex electrical issues during testing.
Maintain and optimize test capabilities across the manufacturing value stream from component level to system level.
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 test equipment to ensure precision and reliability in 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/electronic assemblies and thorough knowledge of PCBA testing standards.
Familiarity with electronics test equipment including power supplies, electronic loads, oscilloscopes, function generators, spectrum analyzers, and data acquisition sensors.
Strong root cause analysis skills for non-conforming hardware.
Familiarity with Product Life Cycle (PLM), Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), and Test Execution Systems (TES).
Experience integrating electrical, mechanical, and software/firmware systems; eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret security clearance.
