TL;DR · Senior RF Test Engineer

JOB TITLE: Senior RF Test Engineer The Senior RF Test Engineer joins the Product Solutions Division to support the production of advanced RF systems, including seekers, proximity sensors, and antennas. This role serves as the technical authority for production RF performance, test strategy, and yield optimization. The engineer will lead root cause investigations into complex issues like noise, spurious signals, and calibration drift across full RF signal chains. Key responsibilities include developing automated test solutions, optimizing production flows, and performing statistical analysis on yield data. The candidate must utilize spectrum analyzers, vector network analyzers, signal generators, and power meters while developing automated systems using Python, LabVIEW, or TestStand. This position solves critical production challenges regarding reliability and performance for mission-critical electronics, ensuring seamless hardware transitions from development into high-volume manufacturing environments.

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 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 related field.
  • Master’s degree (preferred).
  • 8+ years of hands-on RF/microwave production experience.
  • U.S. citizenship required.
  • Expertise troubleshooting complex RF systems in production environments.
  • Deep understanding of RF system performance including gain, loss, noise figure, linearity, and interference mechanisms.
  • 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.
