Job Summary

We are seeking a motivated, hands-on Test Engineer to support active production lines and test operations for precision radio frequency (RF) hardware. This role combines electronics troubleshooting, RF testing, precision assembly, mechanical design, and test fixture development in a collaborative, fast-paced engineering and manufacturing environment.

The ideal candidate has a background in electrical or mechanical engineering, strong technical problem-solving skills, and an eagerness to learn. You will work closely with manufacturing and engineering teams to test, calibrate, troubleshoot, and improve a variety of precision RF assemblies and components.

This position offers hands-on experience with RF, magnetic, mechanical, and thermal design principles while contributing directly to product quality, manufacturing efficiency, and continuous improvement.

Key Responsibilities

  • RF Testing and Calibration: Operate high-frequency vector network analyzers (VNAs) to test, calibrate, and verify RF hardware against technical specifications.
  • Electronics Troubleshooting and Repair: Perform advanced soldering, electronic troubleshooting, component rework, and hardware repair.
  • CNC Machine Operation: Operate a benchtop CNC machine to support production and test-related activities.
  • Test Fixture Development: Assist in the design, development, testing, and improvement of fixtures used for RF testing and manufacturing.
  • Precision Assembly Support: Assist manufacturing personnel with precision assembly, inspection, and rework using a microscope.
  • Mechanical Design and Drafting: Use AutoCAD to create, modify, and maintain mechanical drawings and technical documentation.
  • Magnetic Circuit Optimization: Understand, evaluate, and optimize magnetic circuits.
  • Production Support: Collaborate with manufacturing and engineering teams to troubleshoot production issues, resolve test failures, and maintain consistent product quality.
  • Technical Documentation: Develop, update, and maintain standardized test procedures, work instructions, and technical documentation for high-volume production.
  • Quality and Process Improvement: Follow established procedures, interpret engineering specifications, and identify opportunities to improve testing methods, fixtures, and production processes.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline; equivalent practical experience will also be considered.
  • Ability to read, interpret, and follow engineering specifications, technical drawings, and written procedures.
  • Strong electronics troubleshooting and soldering skills.
  • Experience with or willingness to learn RF test equipment, including vector network analyzers (VNAs).
  • Ability to work with precision hardware and small components, including microscope-assisted tasks.
  • Strong mechanical aptitude and problem-solving skills.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines in a production-oriented environment.
  • Positive, can-do attitude and a strong desire to learn and develop new technical skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience testing, calibrating, or troubleshooting RF and microwave components or assemblies.
  • Familiarity with high-frequency electronics, RF measurement techniques, and test equipment.
  • Experience operating benchtop CNC equipment.
  • Proficiency in soldering, electronic rework, and test fixture construction.
  • Experience with AutoCAD or other mechanical drafting software.
  • Knowledge of magnetic circuits, electromagnetic design, or thermal and mechanical engineering principles.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
