RF Test Tech

Hands-on role supporting development and production test of RF/microwave components and integrated microwave assemblies from DC to 40 GHz, including tuning, troubleshooting, and data reporting.

Requirements

• High school diploma or equivalent (minimum).

• 7+ years RF/microwave component testing experience (20 MHz–40 GHz).

• Proficiency with RF measurements: return loss, insertion loss, gain, noise figure, intermodulation, harmonics.

• Proficiency with RF test equipment: VNAs, signal/spectrum analyzers, power meters, DMMs, signal generators.

• Ability to read and execute schematics, drawings, ATPs, and manufacturing procedures.

• Experience with environmental testing (thermal, shock, vibration) and related debug.

• Understanding of DC theory (Ohm’s Law) and electronic circuit fundamentals.

• Manual dexterity for microscope work; occasional SMT solder/rework capability.

• Proficient with Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook.

• U.S. Citizenship required (clearance eligibility).

• Active DoD Secret Clearance preferred or ability to obtain.

Preferred Skills

• Associate degree in Electronics or related field.

• Experience in aerospace/defense electronics environments.

• Filter theory and tuning (lumped element, cavity, waveguide).

• Use of oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and bus analyzers for complex debug.

• Test equipment setup, calibration checks, and fixture maintenance.

Responsibilities

• Tune, test, and troubleshoot RF/microwave components and IMAs (filters, mixers, switches, amplifiers) per ATPs.

• Perform and document RF testing using VNAs, spectrum/signal analyzers, noise and power meters.

• Execute environmental tests (thermal, shock, vibration); analyze results and isolate faults.

• Set up, maintain, and verify production test stations, fixtures, and measurement systems.

• Support prototype builds and first-article testing with engineering.

• Record, organize, and communicate test results and production status in required systems.

• Operate, troubleshoot, and maintain electronic measurement systems and related tooling.

• Perform occasional microscope SMT rework to support rapid issue resolution.
