Define and execute a comprehensive test strategy across development, integration & test (I&T), and production
Architect and standardize Automated Test Equipment (ATE) and test frameworks across multiple programs and product lines
Develop and deploy automated test solutions to validate key RF performance metrics (e.g., gain, noise figure, linearity/IP2/IP3, spurious, phase noise)
Drive improvements in test efficiency, throughput, yield, and cycle time through automation and data-driven approaches
Integrate AI/ML and advanced analytics into test workflows for predictive diagnostics and faster root cause analysis
Partner with RF Design, Systems Engineering, Manufacturing, and Program Management to ensure strong Design-for-Testability (DFT) practices are implemented early in product development and strong correlation between simulation, lab validation, and production test
Lead and support complex RF system debug across lab and production environments (hardware, firmware, and integration issues)
Own engineering lab operations, including capacity planning, equipment lifecycle management, calibration strategy, and ESD/safety compliance
Lead transition of test solutions from engineering to manufacturing, including readiness, documentation, training, and sustaining support
Support proposals (RFP/RFQ/RFI) with test strategies, cost estimates, and execution plans
Own test-related CAPEX planning and execution, ensuring alignment with long-term architecture and ROI objectives
Job Responsibilities Part II
Establish and track key metrics (e.g., yield, test time, MTTR, defect escape rate) to drive continuous improvement
Develop and maintain a long-term RF test technology roadmap aligned with product complexity and business growth
Drive development of scalable test data infrastructure and analytics to enable enterprise-wide visibility and insights
Ensure lab and test environments meet quality, performance, and audit readiness standards
Mentor engineers in test development, RF measurement techniques, automation, and data-driven engineering practices
Foster a culture of technical rigor, accountability, and continuous improvement

Strong hands-on experience with RF test equipment (e.g., signal generators, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, power meters, noise figure analyzers)
Proven experience architecting and implementing automated RF test systems (ATE)
Deep understanding of RF measurement techniques and performance metrics (gain, NF, IP3, harmonics, spurs, phase noise, etc.)
Experience with system-level RF integration and troubleshooting
Proficiency in Python or similar scripting languages for test automation
Experience with LabVIEW or comparable test development environments
Familiarity with test data management, databases (SQL), and analysis workflows
Experience working in Linux and Windows environments
