TL;DR · RF Manufacturing Test Engineer

The RF Manufacturing Test Engineer joins the Electromagnetic Warfare team to ensure defense hardware meets stringent quality and throughput standards. This role involves maintaining production test flows, performing hands-on troubleshooting of complex electrical issues, and developing test work instructions for technicians. You will improve test systems to enhance automation, cycle time, and coverage while performing root cause analysis on non-conforming hardware. Key responsibilities include maintaining test capabilities from system-level checkouts to component-level validation and collaborating with design teams on product enhancements. Required technical skills include familiarity with Linux, Ubuntu, LabVIEW, and NixOS, alongside experience with PCBA testing standards and equipment like oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and data acquisition sensors. The role supports the manufacturing value-chain for electromagnetic warfare systems, focusing on design for manufacturability and process optimization.

What you'll do

  • Maintain ownership of production test flows and provide hands-on troubleshooting for complex electrical issues.
  • Manage test capabilities across the manufacturing value stream from system-level checkouts to component-level validation.
  • Improve existing test systems to increase automation, consistency, cycle time, and test coverage.
  • Generate test work instructions for technicians and provide training on equipment usage.
  • 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.
  • Provide feedback to design engineers for product enhancements based on test outcomes.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical/Electronics, Computer, Mechanical Engineering, or related fields.
  • 5+ years of relevant industry experience with 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) systems, Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), and Test Execution Systems (TES).
  • Experience with projects involving the integration of electrical, mechanical, and software/firmware systems.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
