Job Description

Key Responsibilities

• Troubleshoot and repair RF CCAs down to the component level, identifying root causes of failures in both analog and digital domains.
• Document failure modes found in troubleshooting for use in product improvement / re-spin efforts.
• Develop troubleshooting methods for use by manufacturing engineering and quality to create work standards.
• Perform RF testing, tuning, and alignment of assemblies using spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, oscilloscopes, and other specialized test equipment.
• Collaborate with design engineering to provide feedback on recurring issues, design improvements, and corrective actions.
• Create failure analysis (FA) reports and documentation for internal teams and customers.
• Partner with manufacturing and quality teams to resolve production issues and improve first-pass yield.
• Conduct detailed circuit analysis, signal integrity evaluation, and component characterization as needed.

Qualifications

Required:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field. (Optional)
• 5+ years of experience in RF engineering, test, or troubleshooting (aerospace/defense preferred).
• Proficiency in using RF test equipment: spectrum/network analyzers, oscilloscopes, signal generators, and power meters.
• Strong knowledge of RF theory, impedance matching, filters, amplifiers, mixers, PLLs, and modulation techniques.
• Demonstrated ability to perform circuit-level debugging and schematic analysis.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work independently or as part of a cross-functional team.

Preferred:

• Experience with aerospace, defense, or high-reliability electronic systems.
• Familiarity with IPC standards, FAA/EASA certification requirements, or MIL-STD test practices.
• Knowledge of root cause and corrective action methodologies (8D, FMEA, etc.).
