About the role

You will be a cradle-to-grave owner of testbeds and test equipment that will ensure the quality, reliability, and performance of cutting-edge space hardware.
The systems under test include complex RF and baseband hardware such as advanced phased arrays, mechanically steered antennas, RF electronics, and modems.
We are seeking engineers who love to solve hard problems!

Select, procure, deploy, automate, and validate production and hardware-in-the-loop testbed RF test equipment (vector network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, software defined radios etc.) across internal and CM facilities
Select, procure, deploy, and validate both production and hardware-in-the-loop testbed ground support equipment (custom fixtures, RF test caps / hats etc.) across internal and CM facilities.
Collaborate with hardware and software design teams to ensure design for test principles are integrated into the product architecture from the earliest stage of development.
Define and create production test procedures and test plans, ensuring they are successfully executed by technicians and external CMs.
Develop, deploy, and maintain robust test software (drivers, sequences, reporting tools) in collaboration with software teams to automate test execution and data collection.
Define and manage production test limits, guard banding strategies, and yield targets, driving continuous improvement activities to optimize test efficiency and reduce cost of goods sold (COGS).
Analyze test data and production yields to identify root causes of failures, drive corrective actions with engineering teams, and implement process improvements.

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) field
A minimum of 2 years of experience in RF hardware and/or test engineering (internship, team project, graduate research, and extracurricular experience are applicable)
Hands-on experience with RF test & measurement tools such as vector network analyzers (VNAs), spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and software defined radios (SDRs)
Proficiency in test automation scripting and programming languages (e.g. Python, C#, LabVIEW)
Must be comfortable working with high performers at a fast pace to solve these hard problems.

Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) field with a focus on RF, millimeter wave, and/or antennas
2 to 6 years of professional experience working on RF hardware, production test engineering, and/or manufacturing test engineering
Technical fundamentals in RF, including understanding of concepts such as S-parameters, antenna patterns & directivity, amplifier gain, output power, efficiency & linearity
Experience testing hardware for space environments or similar per standards such as SMC-S-016 or MIL-STD-461, including vibration, radiation, thermal, and thermal vacuum (TVAC) testing
Experience partnering directly with CMs for high-volume production test deployment and management
Experience with production tests for space systems, satellite payloads, or aerospace hardware
