TL;DR

As an RF Manufacturing Test Engineer at TSC’s Product Solutions Division in Huntsville, AL, you will serve as the technical authority for production test strategy and yield optimization across advanced defense RF systems. Your daily tasks include resolving complex production issues, leading root cause investigations, developing automated test solutions, and optimizing test flows to ensure mission-critical performance while minimizing false failures. You will work with Python, LabVIEW, TestStand, and other tools to create robust testing environments for RF front-end, analog, mixed-signal, and embedded interfaces. This role requires a deep understanding of RF system performance and extensive experience in debugging complex issues tied to mechanical layout and assembly variation. The ideal candidate has 5+ years of hands-on production experience with advanced knowledge in statistical process control and transitioning products from development to production.

What you'll do

  • Serves as technical authority for production RF performance and test strategy.
  • Owns resolution of complex production issues affecting RF systems.
  • Leads root cause investigations across full RF signal chains.
  • Develops advanced RF production test solutions, including automated systems.
  • Optimizes production test flows to balance coverage, throughput, and reliability.
  • Applies statistical analysis to identify trends in yield loss and performance variation.
  • Mentors engineers and technicians in RF debugging techniques and best practices.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field with 5+ years of hands-on RF/microwave production experience.
  • Expertise troubleshooting complex RF systems in production environments, including mechanical layout and assembly variation issues.
  • Deep understanding of RF system performance parameters such as gain/loss/dynamic range, noise figure, linearity, phase noise, and spurious signals.
  • Extensive hands-on experience with RF test equipment like spectrum analyzers, VNAs, signal generators, and power meters/sensors.
  • Experience developing automated RF test systems using Python, LabVIEW, TestStand, or similar frameworks.
  • Strong background in statistical process control (SPC), yield analysis, and failure investigation for production issues.
  • Proven ability to diagnose cross-domain issues spanning RF, digital, embedded, and electromechanical domains.
