Central Florida has long been the center of space activities. With NASA Kennedy Space Center less than an hour from Orlando, several well-known companies such as Siemens Energy, Mitsubishi Power, and Lockheed Martin have their major headquarters in Orlando. Others such as Pratt & Whitney (Raytheon), Northrop Grumman, Blue Origin, and SpaceX have their headquarters within easily drivable distances. All these companies share the same talent pools available in this region. UCF's Orlando location also puts it at the center of the Florida High Tech Corridor. The corridor has an excellent industrial base that includes software, defense, space, simulation and training, and a world-renowned entertainment industry. Adjacent to UCF is a thriving research park that conducts over $2 billion in funded research, hosting more than 100 high-tech companies and UCF's School of Modeling, Simulation, and Training. In response to this unique locational opportunity, The Center for Advanced Turbomachinery and Energy Research (CATER) was founded to focus on student training and research on turbomachinery and associated energy systems for application in power generation, aviation, and space propulsion. CATER has 9 core faculty members at present, with a staff of 5 research faculty, 15 postdoctoral researchers, and 97 doctoral students. It collectively secured $20.3M of new external funding in FY 24-25 and graduates 13 doctoral students per year on average.
The successful candidates would be part of the UCF HYPERSPACE Center ( ), a Center of Excellence (COE) for Hypersonics and Space Propulsion at the University of Central Florida. The motivation of the center is Speed and Space with the goal of achieving ultra-high-speed flight through our atmosphere, and efficient planetary entry and exit, making space exploration and intercontinental travel as routine as intercity travel is today. The center is a national and world leading center in hypersonic and space propulsion, modeling, aerodynamics, laser diagnostics/sensors, extreme environment materials, and additive/advanced manufacturing with Government and Industry funding. The center is a hub for world-class hypersonic wind tunnels and facilities, advanced hypersonic research, training and education, technology development and innovation.
UCF is one of the nation's largest universities with a diverse student body of approximately 70,000 students and has grown substantially in size, quality, diversity, and reputation.

Production Test Technician (Level 3)
Orlando, FL | On-Site $70,000–$80,000 per year | Full-Time
Why This Role
RF test technicians with real troubleshooting depth are hard to find — and we know it. If you've spent years diagnosing signal issues, wrestling with spectrum analyzers, and bridging the gap between engineering and the production floor, this is a role where that expertise is genuinely valued and well-compensated.
You'll work on RF test equipment in a fast-paced manufacturing environment, collaborating directly with engineering teams and making a visible impact on product quality every day.
What You'll Do
Testing & Validation
- Perform RF testing on newly built RF test equipment per established procedures and standards
- Evaluate performance of RF systems, subsystems, and components against design specifications
- Test and validate RF circuits, assemblies, and interfaces across defined frequency ranges and power levels
Troubleshooting
- Diagnose complex RF performance issues, hardware malfunctions, and system errors
- Analyze test data to identify root causes of performance discrepancies
- Partner with engineering to resolve technical challenges and recommend improvements
Process & Documentation
- Contribute to improving test procedures for greater efficiency and accuracy
- Maintain thorough documentation of test results, calibration procedures, and troubleshooting activities
- Support cross-training of manufacturing team members on lower-level testing procedures
Quality & Collaboration
- Ensure all testing activities meet quality and compliance standards
- Verify equipment performance specs and reliability requirements
- Support failure analysis and corrective action processes
- Provide technical guidance to junior technicians
What We're Looking For
Required
- Associate degree in Electronics Technology, Electrical Engineering, or related field — or equivalent hands-on experience
- 5+ years in RF testing, electronic troubleshooting, or test equipment environments
- Hands-on experience with spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, signal generators, oscilloscopes, and power meters
- Solid understanding of RF measurement concepts: VSWR, gain, phase noise, PIM, and noise figure
- Ability to read and interpret schematics and technical drawings
- Strong problem-solving and communication skills; comfortable working independently
Nice to Have
- Familiarity with RF communication technologies (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, cellular)
- Experience with LabVIEW or TestStand
Requirement
- Must be a U.S. Person as defined by applicable export regulations
Based in Orlando, FL
This is an on-site role at our Orlando facility. We're looking for local candidates or those ready to relocate — no remote option for this position.
Salary range: $70,000–$80,000 depending on experience.
