TL;DR · Senior RF Manufacturing Test Engineer

The Senior RF Manufacturing Test Engineer joins the Electromagnetic Warfare Manufacturing team to ensure high-quality production and throughput for defense hardware. 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 for better automation, cycle time, and coverage while performing root cause analysis on non-conforming hardware. Key responsibilities include collaborating with design and quality teams on failure analysis and providing feedback for early-stage test designs. Required skills include experience with PCBA testing standards, Linux, Ubuntu, LabVIEW, and NixOS. You must be proficient with equipment like oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers, and possess knowledge of PLM, MES, and TES systems to support the integration of electrical, mechanical, and software systems.

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 and sustain test systems to increase automation, consistency, cycle time, and test coverage.
  • Generate test work instructions for technicians and provide training on equipment usage.
  • Determine root causes of product failures and recommend appropriate corrective actions.
  • Analyze test data and provide detailed reports to identify defects and areas for improvement.
  • Optimize test strategies to reduce cycle time while maintaining high product quality.
  • Maintain and calibrate test equipment to ensure precision and reliability.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical/Electronics, Computer, Mechanical Engineering, or related fields.
  • 8+ 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, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and data acquisition sensors.
  • Strong root cause analysis skills for non-conforming hardware.
  • Familiarity with PLM, MES, and TES systems.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain US DoD clearance.
  • Master’s of Science in Electrical, Electronics, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field (preferred).
  • Familiarity with Python, LabVIEW, and/or MATLAB for data parsing and visualization (preferred).
  • Experience with test automation, PCBA design, and mechanical design (preferred).
  • Experience with computer hardware communication protocols such as USB, Ethernet, RS232, RS485, PCIe, HDMI, and CAN (preferred).
  • Experience with ESS-related testing like Thermal and Vibration (preferred).
  • Active Security Clearance or ability to obtain one (preferred).
