RF Test Engineer

What you'll do

• Serve as the technical authority for production RF performance, test strategy, and yield optimization across defense systems.
• Resolve complex production issues including intermittent failures, environmental sensitivities, calibration drift, and unit-to-unit variation.
• Lead root cause investigations across full RF signal chains, including front-end, analog, mixed-signal, and embedded interfaces.
• Develop and deploy advanced automated test solutions, alignment routines, and system-level validation methods.
• Optimize production test flows to balance coverage, throughput, and the reduction of false failures.
• Apply statistical analysis to production data to identify trends in yield loss and performance variation.
• Partner with Design Engineering to close gaps in design for test (DFT) and manufacturing (DFM).
• Provide hands-on technical leadership on the manufacturing floor to troubleshoot test stations and engineering builds.

What we're looking for

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• 5+ years of hands-on RF/microwave production experience.
• Expertise troubleshooting complex RF systems in production environments including noise, shielding, and grounding issues.
• Proficiency with RF test equipment such as spectrum analyzers, VNAs, signal generators, and power meters.
• Experience developing automated RF test systems using Python, LabVIEW, TestStand, or similar frameworks.
• Background in statistical process control (SPC), yield analysis, and failure investigation.
• Ability to transition products from development to production with a focus on test readiness and repeatability.
• US Citizenship and the ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance.
