Job description

We're pushing technology's boundaries, and we need you to help us scale. As our RF Manufacturing & Test Engineer, you will be the technical owner of our radar submodules, bridging the gap between R&D and manufacturing partners.

You will ensure complex RF designs translate into robust, repeatable production processes, guaranteeing manufacturability and testability at scale.

Responsibilities

• Define manufacturing and test strategies for RF submodules, from prototype to series production
• Design, specify, and validate (often custom) RF test setups for submodule production and acceptance testing
• Transfer RF test setups, procedures, and documentation to EMS and box-build partners
• Support manufacturing partners during ramp-up, production, and issue resolution
• Take technical ownership of RF submodule test coverage, limits, calibration, and yield optimization
• Collaborate closely with RF designers, system engineers, and quality teams to ensure manufacturability and testability
• Analyze production test data and drive continuous improvement of test methods and RF performance
• Ensure clear documentation of test procedures, acceptance criteria, and production guidelines

Requirements

• Over three years of experience in RF engineering, preferably in an industrial or production-oriented environment
• MSc. in Electrical Engineering or equivalent
• Strong experience with RF testing and characterization of submodules (e.g., gain, radiation patterns, phase, spurious), specifically the X-band and Ku-band
• Experience designing, specifying, or validating (custom) RF test setups
• Familiarity with EMS / box-build manufacturing environments
• Affinity with radar systems and phased-array architectures
• Hands‑on, pragmatic, and ownership‑driven mindset
• Structured and clear in documentation, reporting, and communication

N.B All applicants, we realize that this is quite the list and people come with various levels of experience. Don't be afraid to apply even if you feel you don't meet every desired skill. Our mission is a journey and there's plenty to learn on the way!
