As we continue to innovate and expand our hardware portfolio, we're looking for a skilled Electrical Test Technician to join our New Product Integration (NPI) team at our headquarters in Plano, Texas.

About the Role

This is not a traditional production test role.

As a member of Airspan's NPI team, you'll work directly with engineers on prototype and pre-production 4G/5G radio hardware, helping bring new products from development into manufacturing. You'll perform board bring-up, firmware programming, troubleshooting, functional testing, and root cause analysis on some of the industry's most advanced wireless communications equipment.

This position offers a unique opportunity to work closely with hardware, firmware, and manufacturing engineering teams while helping establish and improve in-house testing processes for next-generation telecommunications products.

What You'll Do

• Execute manufacturing and validation test procedures on prototype and pre-production PCB assemblies
• Perform board bring-up, firmware loading, and system configuration
• Conduct electrical testing, functional verification, and failure analysis
• Troubleshoot board-level issues and collaborate with engineering teams on root cause investigations
• Program and verify board identity, MAC addresses, and configuration data
• Test power supply assemblies and digital hardware subsystems
• Record and document test results with full serial number traceability
• Support continuous improvement of test procedures, fixtures, and automation processes
• Maintain safe laboratory practices including ESD and electrical safety compliance

Technologies You'll Work With

• 4G & 5G radio platforms
• Open RAN wireless systems
• Embedded Linux environments
• UART, SPI, I2C, GPIO, JTAG, and Ethernet interfaces
• Oscilloscopes, power supplies, digital multimeters, and electronic loads
• U-Boot, TFTP, SSH, and firmware programming tools
• Python-based flashing and test scripts
• Power electronics and board-level troubleshooting

Required Qualifications

• Associate degree in Electronics Technology, Electrical Engineering Technology, or equivalent practical experience
• 3+ years of hands-on electronics test, board bring-up, or PCBA manufacturing test experience
• Strong proficiency with oscilloscopes, power supplies, digital multimeters, and other electronic test equipment
• Ability to read schematics, block diagrams, and assembly documentation
• Experience troubleshooting electronic assemblies and identifying hardware failures
• Comfortable working in command-line environments and running Python-based tools and scripts
• Strong attention to detail and documentation practices

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with telecom, wireless, or networking hardware
• New Product Introduction (NPI) experience
• Embedded Linux experience
• Knowledge of high-speed Ethernet and SFP interfaces
• Experience with ICT, flying probe, boundary scan, or related inspection methods
• Power supply validation experience
• IPC-A-610 or J-STD-001 certification
• Soldering and rework experience

Why Airspan?

• Competitive salary of $110,000-$130,000
• Work on cutting-edge 4G, 5G, and Open RAN technologies
• Collaborate directly with world-class engineering teams
• Gain exposure to the full product development lifecycle
