Echodyne is seeking a Senior RF Test Engineer with experience in RF electronics to join our team working in a fast-paced environment developing high-performance commercial radar solutions.

As a Senior RF Test Engineer, you will play a key role in the development and production of Echodyne radars, enabling us to meet aggressive development goals while maintaining a high degree of engineering rigor. You will contribute to solving and learning from challenging problems and root-cause investigations related to system-level and board-level failures, all related to state-of-the-art radar. In this role, you will apply your knowledge of RF circuits and test methods to help solve challenging design and debug problems on cutting edge radar circuits.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Plan and perform measurements and extended tests on Echodyne Radar RF subsystems and components
• Compile and analyze the resulting data, distilling into key performance metrics seeking full understanding of new RF circuits or in the identification of root-cause
• Design, maintain and improve RF test and measurement capabilities, methods, fixtures, and equipment
• Work with the electrical engineering, systems, and manufacturing teams to identify metrics of interest, anticipate measurement requirements, and develop tests and test-procedures

REQUIRED SKILLS / EXPERIENCE

• Hands-on experience working with micro-electronics printed circuit assemblies in a lab environment
  • Familiarity with in ESD (electro-static-discharge) equipment and procedures
  • Experience using RF test equipment (networks analyzers, signal generators, spectrum analyzers, amplifiers, splitters and switches) at microwave frequencies
  • Knowledge of standard RF metrics and how to access them through measurement, such as return-loss, gain, noise-figure, compression point and bandwidth
  • Experience using digital and analog test and measurement equipment, including oscilloscopes, digital multi-meters, and logic analyzers
• Hands-on experience analyzing test and measurement results in support root-cause analysis
  • Experience with the development of tests and assessments to perform root-cause analysis
  • Experience analyzing standard RF metrics such as return-loss, gain, noise-figure, compression point and bandwidth
• Good interpersonal skills with the ability to work effectively with individuals and groups

DESIRED SKILLS / EXPERIENCE
(Looking for one or more as a complement to the core skills)

• Python or MATLAB experience interfacing with test equipment (via COM, PHY, GPIB, etc)
• Experience designing, building, and troubleshooting basic analog and digital circuits

QUALIFICATIONS

• BS or MS Degree in Engineering or Physics with 5-7 years experience performing hands-on RF measurement
• Eligibility to handle export controlled data (ITAR, EAR)

Echodyne’s technology is export controlled by the U.S. Government and we must evaluate an applicant’s eligibility to handle export-controlled information or obtain required Government authorizations. Therefore, we will ask you as part of the application process to identify whether you are a U.S. Citizen or green card holder, or have asylum/refugee status in the U.S.
