TL;DR · RF Test Engineer

JOB TITLE: RF Test Engineer The RF Manufacturing Test Engineer joins the Product Solutions Division to support the production of advanced RF systems, including seekers, proximity sensors, and mission-critical electronics. This role serves as the technical authority for production RF performance, test strategy, and yield optimization. Responsibilities include resolving complex production issues like intermittent failures and calibration drift, leading root cause investigations across RF signal chains, and developing automated test solutions. The engineer will optimize production test flows, apply statistical analysis to production data, and partner with Design Engineering on design for test and manufacturability. Required skills include expertise with spectrum analyzers, vector network analyzers, signal generators, and power meters. Candidates must also possess experience with Python, LabVIEW, or TestStand, alongside a deep understanding of gain, loss, noise figure, and linearity.

What you'll do

  • Serve as the technical authority for production RF performance, test strategy, and yield optimization.
  • Resolve complex production issues including intermittent failures, environmental sensitivities, and calibration drift.
  • Lead deep-dive root cause investigations across full RF signal chains and embedded interfaces.
  • Drive the transition of RF hardware from development into production with production-representative test coverage.
  • Develop and deploy advanced RF production test solutions and automated test systems.
  • Optimize production test flows to balance test coverage, throughput, and false failure reduction.
  • Apply statistical analysis to production data to identify trends in yield loss and performance variation.
  • Provide hands-on technical leadership on the manufacturing floor to support test stations and troubleshooting.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
  • 5+ years of hands-on RF/microwave production experience.
  • Demonstrated expertise troubleshooting complex RF systems in production environments.
  • Deep understanding of RF system performance including gain, loss, noise figure, linearity, and phase noise.
  • Extensive hands-on experience with spectrum analyzers, VNAs, signal generators, and power meters.
  • Experience developing automated RF test systems using Python, LabVIEW, TestStand, or similar frameworks.
  • Strong background in statistical process control, yield analysis, and failure investigation.
  • US Citizen with the ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance.
