Senior RF Test Engineer

What you'll do

• Serve as the technical authority for production RF performance, test strategy, and yield optimization across defense systems.
• Resolve complex production issues including intermittent failures, environmental sensitivities, calibration drift, and unit-to-unit variation.
• Lead root cause investigations across full RF signal chains including front-end, analog, mixed-signal, and embedded interfaces.
• Manage the transition of RF hardware from development into production while ensuring test coverage and repeatability.
• Develop and deploy automated RF production test solutions, alignment routines, and system-level validation methods.
• Optimize production test flows to balance test coverage, throughput, and reduction of false failures.
• 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 efforts.

What we're looking for

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• Master’s degree is preferred.
• U.S. citizenship is required.
• 8+ years of hands-on RF/microwave production experience.
• Expertise troubleshooting complex RF systems, including noise, shielding, and assembly variations in production environments.
• Proficiency with RF test equipment such as 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 (SPC), yield analysis, and failure investigation.
