Compensation: Competitive Base Salary + Benefits
Employment Type: Full-Time
Our client is seeking a hands-on RF Engineer to design, build, and support sophisticated RF measurement systems used for antenna characterization, radar cross-section (RCS) testing, and electromagnetic materials analysis.
This is an end-to-end engineering role—ideal for someone who enjoys taking systems from concept to reality, working directly with hardware, and supporting real-world measurement environments.
Design Complete RF Measurement Systems
Build VNA-centric systems for antenna testing, RCS measurement, and EM material characterization.
Architect RF Signal Chains
Design and integrate RF front-ends including switches, amplifiers, couplers, filters, and calibration paths.
Build & Validate Systems
Assemble hardware, integrate mechanical positioners and scanners, perform calibration, and verify system performance.
Solve Complex Measurement Problems
Debug RF, mechanical, and software issues to ensure stable, repeatable, high-quality measurements.
Install & Support Systems
Support on-site installations, train users, and provide post-deployment troubleshooting.
Create Clear Documentation
Produce wiring diagrams, test procedures, calibration workflows, and user guides to support long-term system reliability.
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent hands-on experience
Strong RF/microwave fundamentals (S-parameters, matching, noise, dynamic range)
Proven experience working with Vector Network Analyzers
Hands-on comfort with RF lab tools and precision connectors
Methodical troubleshooting mindset and strong documentation habits
Ability to manage multiple technical workstreams independently
Antenna measurement systems (near-field, far-field, anechoic chambers)
RCS measurement concepts and calibration techniques
EM materials testing and parameter extraction
RF front-end design experience
Test automation or instrumentation control (Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW, etc.)
Familiarity with major RF instrumentation vendors
You can turn a vague measurement requirement into a robust, repeatable system
You’re just as comfortable tightening a precision connector as you are tuning a calibration workflow
Customers trust you during installs and rely on your technical judgment
Primarily lab-based
Occasional travel for installations and customer support (10%)
