working at the forefront of space innovation.
- Develop RF test plans, test
procedures, test matrices and acceptance criteria.
- Perform module, subsystem
and system-level RF testing and characterization.
- Measure gain, insertion
loss, return loss/VSWR, P1dB, IP3, noise figure, harmonics, spurious,
isolation, phase noise and frequency accuracy.
- Test RF chains including T/R
modules, PA, LNA, PLL/synthesizer, mixers, filters, switches, up/down
converters and beamformers.
- Perform RF calibration,
channel-to-channel amplitude/phase verification and RF path validation.
- Develop RF test setups and
troubleshoot hardware, LO, clock, power and signal-chain issues.

qualification, ATP/QTP and production acceptance testing.
- Prepare test reports,
failure analysis, requirement compliance and technical documentation.
- Coordinate with
digital/FPGA, software, mechanical, system and production teams.
- Coordinate with PCB/layout
engineers to ensure schematic-to-layout implementation complies with RF design
and manufacturing requirements.
- Guide and review RF PCB
layout and routing for controlled impedance, grounding, shielding, isolation,
return-current paths, RF component placement and signal integrity.
- Create RF schematics in
OrCAD Capture, including RF signal paths, bias networks, power distribution,
control interfaces and test points.
Requirements
- Hands-on experience with
VNA, spectrum/signal analyzer, RF signal generator, power meter and
oscilloscope. OrCAD Capture schematic development and RF PCB layout review
experience.
- Strong understanding of RF
measurement techniques and RF component characterization.
