Join Airspan and Help Build the Future of Wireless Connectivity

Airspan Networks is a global leader in Open RAN and 4G/5G wireless technology, with more than one million cells deployed worldwide. Our solutions power mobile operators, enterprises, and critical infrastructure networks across the globe. As we continue to expand our industry-leading radio portfolio, we're looking for an experienced RF Test Technician to join our New Product Integration (NPI) team at our headquarters in Plano, Texas.

About the Role

This is not a traditional electronics technician position.

As a member of Airspan's NPI organization, you'll work directly with RF, power amplifier, and hardware engineering teams to test and validate next-generation 4G and 5G radio products before they enter production. You'll perform RF characterization, power amplifier testing, troubleshooting, and automated test execution on cutting-edge wireless communications hardware.

This position offers a unique opportunity to work with advanced RF technologies, sophisticated test equipment, and industry-leading Open RAN products while helping establish and improve Airspan's in-house RF test capabilities.

What You'll Do

• Execute RF manufacturing and validation test procedures on NPI radio assemblies and subassemblies
• Perform RF testing on power amplifier boards and RF transceiver circuits
• Set up, calibrate, and maintain RF test benches and supporting equipment
• Measure and analyze RF performance including output power, gain, gain flatness, ACPR/ACLR, efficiency, and receiver performance
• Safely operate high-power RF and high-current DC test systems
• Execute Python-based automated test scripts and instrument control applications
• Troubleshoot RF test failures and determine root cause of hardware issues
• Partner with RF, hardware, and manufacturing engineering teams to improve product quality and test coverage
• Track test yields and maintain detailed serial-number traceability records
• Support continuous improvement of RF test processes, automation, and lab operations
• Train and support technicians on RF test procedures and best practices

Technologies You'll Work With

• 4G LTE and 5G NR radio platforms
• Open RAN wireless systems
• Power amplifier (PA) technologies
• Signal generators
• Spectrum analyzers and signal analyzers
• RF power meters and peak power sensors
• Vector network analyzers (VNAs)
• RF switches, couplers, filters, attenuators, and cabling
• Python-based automation tools
• SCPI instrument control
• RF calibration and measurement systems
• High-power transmitter validation environments

Required Qualifications

• Associate degree in Electronics Technology, RF Engineering Technology, Telecommunications Technology, or equivalent practical experience
• 5+ years of hands-on RF test experience in a production, NPI, or development laboratory environment
• Strong experience using RF instrumentation including signal generators, spectrum analyzers, and RF power measurement equipment
• Thorough understanding of RF fundamentals, including dB/dBm, path loss, impedance, VSWR, gain compression, and spectral analysis
• Experience testing RF power amplifiers or high-power RF transmitters
• Ability to execute and make minor modifications to Python-based test scripts
• Strong troubleshooting, documentation, and analytical skills
• Excellent attention to detail and commitment to safe laboratory practices
• Ability to collaborate effectively within a multidisciplinary engineering team

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with cellular infrastructure, base station, or radio unit testing
• Familiarity with LTE and 5G NR waveforms
• Knowledge of 3GPP transmitter measurements, including ACLR and EVM
• Experience with Digital Predistortion (DPD) or power amplifier linearization testing
• Experience building or improving automated RF test stations
• Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) experience
• Background supporting NPI or new product introduction environments

Why Airspan?
