Job summary

Morse Micro is seeking a detail-oriented RF Calibration & Lab Technician in Sydney, Australia to uphold lab hygiene, calibrate RF test equipment, and ensure clean, repeatable data across development and validation environments.

You will collaborate with Hardware, DVT, Systems, and SVT teams, optimize test setups, and document calibration procedures while managing cables and fixtures. Strong RF skills, SOLT/TRL calibration, S-parameter knowledge, and RF connectors are essential.

Qualifications

• Strong hands-on RF experience in a lab or production environment.
• Practical understanding of RF calibration techniques (SOLT, TRL, power calibration).
• Experience measuring and interpreting S-parameters.
• Familiarity with RF connectors (SMA, MMCX, U.FL) and proper torque practices.
• Experience troubleshooting measurement inconsistencies and identifying root causes.
• Comfortable working with high-frequency PCB assemblies and RF modules.
• Strong documentation habits and disciplined working style.

Responsibilities

• Own RF lab hygiene and measurement integrity across development and validation environments.

• Measure and characterize cable, connector, and jig S-parameters (S11, S21, etc.) and maintain correction data where required.
• Establish and enforce best practices for RF handling (torque wrench usage, connector care, cable replacement schedules, labeling, ESD discipline).
• Debug and optimize RF test setups to eliminate measurement artifacts and improve repeatability.
• Manage lifecycle of cables, connectors, adapters, and fixtures. Identify and replace degraded interconnects before they impact data quality.
• Support DVT, SVT, and Systems teams during bring‑up, validation, and regulatory testing.
• Maintain calibration logs, test setup documentation, and lab asset tracking.
• Work with engineering teams to improve test fixture design and measurement robustness.
