Role Posting Log in to save

As a Senior Associate, SW Test Engineer, you will join the engineering team to support the design, verification, characterization, and integration of automated RF test systems and subsystems. You will develop automated test solutions using LabVIEW and Test Stand, create software test plans, and analyze data to provide technical recommendations for production environments. Your daily work involves collaborating with cross-functional teams to resolve issues across development, qualification, and manufacturing phases while transitioning test methods into production. The role requires proficiency in Python, C++, and Linux, along with familiarity with VHDL, ZYNQ boards, and digital modulation analysis like BPSK or QPSK. You will address technical challenges involving wireless communications, telemetry, SATCOM, and encryption systems, ensuring hardware meets requirements through rigorous testing of RF principles such as S-parameters and gain/loss measurements.
