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.
