Job summary

Honeywell Aerospace in Richardson, TX seeks an Advanced Producibility Engineer to drive NPI from RF MMIC concept to high-volume production for defense electronics. You will co-develop GaN/GaAs MMIC technologies and lead design reviews, modeling, simulations, and reliability validation.

You will collaborate with systems, packaging, test, and foundries, support IR&D, and prepare technical reports and readiness reviews. On-site role with lab work and hands-on testing using RF measurement equipment.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in a technical discipline such as science, technology, engineering, mathematics.
Minimum of 3 years of NPI stage-gate experience.
Six Sigma Black Belt Certification.
Minimum of 2 years of experience in manufacturing or in a high-tech electronics industry.
Minimum of 2 years of experience using SPC tools such as MiniTab, JMP, and Microsoft Office Suite including SharePoint and Excel.
Proficiency interpreting schematics, technical drawings, and applying core electronics and microwave theory fundamentals to manufacturability concepts for transition to production.
Ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance.

Responsibilities

Collaborate with design teams to ensure MMIC designs meet manufacturability (DFM) and testability (DFT) requirements.
Develop and execute wafer-level and packaged test plans, including RF/microwave characterization (S-parameters, power, noise figure) and acceptance testing.
Design, validate, and optimize test fixtures, probe cards, IC packages, and evaluation PCBs for pre-production and characterization.
Perform lab-based device testing and data analysis to define specifications, identify performance gaps, and assess yield risks.
Support process development, qualification, and fabrication optimization for MMIC technologies prior to volume production.
Conduct model validation through measurement-to-simulation correlation and refine device model kits.
Generate test procedures, qualification plans, datasheets, and technical reports; support customer applications and engineering documentation.
Assist in prototype builds, reliability testing, failure analysis, and production activities including assembly, inspection, troubleshooting, and product delivery.
Assist in tape-out and foundry engagement, preparing MMIC designs for fabrication, ensuring PDK compliance, manufacturability, and seamless coordination through mask release.
Develop and execute DFM/DFT strategies, characterization plans, and qualification activities to ensure production readiness.
Develop and maintain robust parts and materials processing guidelines, ensuring compliance with quality, traceability, and reliability requirements.
Work-hands-on in the lab using RF measurement equipment to support design introduction, validation, debug, and correlation between simulation and test data.
Implement and monitor SPC methods to track key performance metrics, identify process variation, and drive data-driven yield improvements.
Conduct yield analysis, root-cause investigation, and continuous improvement to resolve issues and ensure manufacturing compliance.
Collaborate across cross-functional teams and external partners, support IR&D and customer activities, and deliver complete technical documentation throughout the product lifecycle.
