Job description

EVONA is partnering with an RF and microwave hardware manufacturer supporting defense, aerospace, unmanned systems, and space applications.

We’re seeking a Senior Engineering Technician to support new product development through hands‑on RF testing, evaluation, and troubleshooting. You’ll work alongside engineers to verify amplifier performance, support prototype builds, and develop repeatable test procedures.

What you’ll do

• Set up and operate network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and RF power meters.
• Test new RF amplifiers and circuits, verifying performance against engineering requirements.
• Support microwave tuning, using measurements to guide circuit adjustments.
• Investigate component and test issues, escalating complex problems to engineers.
• Support prototype circuit builds, engineering test fixtures, and RF transistor characterization.
• Create and maintain test procedures, documentation, and results within the quality management system.
• Collaborate with engineering, assembly, and production teams to resolve issues and meet delivery deadlines.

Required experience and skills

• Three or more years of relevant electronics or RF testing experience.
• Hands‑on experience operating RF test and measurement equipment.
• Experience working in a production or hardware design environment.
• Practical understanding of electronics, AC circuits, and RF measurements.

Preferred experience

• Testing RF power amplifiers or similar circuits.
• Microwave tuning and circuit adjustment experience—training can be provided.
• Component‑level troubleshooting and prototype development.
• Understanding of amplifier architecture and measurements such as error vector magnitude (EVM), signal‑to‑noise ratio (SNR), and third‑order intercept point (IP3).
• Familiarity with Altium.
• An associate’s or bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Electronics, Computer Engineering, or a related field. Relevant practical knowledge is valued over degree background.
• Paid holidays, vacation, and personal/sick time.
• Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance options.
• Employee assistance program and a $4,000 Health Reimbursement Arrangement.
• 401(k) with company match.
