Job summary

MACOM in Nashua, New Hampshire is seeking a Senior Product Engineer to provide technical ownership for RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave module products throughout development and production. You will bridge Design, Test, Manufacturing, and Quality to ensure repeatable, cost-efficient production.

The ideal candidate has strong RF measurement expertise, proven product-engineering leadership, and hands-on experience in NPI, production release, and yield investigations.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• Typically five or more years of RF product engineering experience.
• Strong hands-on RF/microwave measurements and troubleshooting.
• Experience releasing or manufacturing complex electronic products.
• Experience developing test plans and analyzing data.
• Knowledge of statistics for characterization and yield.
• Ability to diagnose interactions among RF performance and manufacturing processes.
• Experience leading technical investigations across disciplines.
• Ability to work in lab and production environments.
• Mentoring engineers and leading cross-functional teams.

Responsibilities

• Lead product-engineering activities for complex RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave module programs.
• Own manufacturing readiness and production-release planning for assigned products or product families.
• Provide technical leadership during the transition from prototype development through qualification, initial production, production ramp, and sustaining support.
• Define test strategies and development of RF test boards, fixtures, interface assemblies, calibration methods, and supporting hardware.
• Lead development and deployment of RF and DC production test solutions in partnership with Test Engineering.
• Guide the design and technical review of RF test boards, fixtures, interface assemblies, calibration methods, and supporting hardware.
• Establish methods for correlating design characterization, engineering test, production test, and external manufacturing test results.
• Lead statistical analysis used to establish test limits, guard bands, datasheet specifications, and product-screening strategies.
• Own complex yield investigations and drive cross-functional teams toward verified root cause and effective corrective action.
• Evaluate whether performance excursions originate in the product, test system, calibration, fixture, assembly process, component variation, or documentation.
• Establish monitoring methods that detect changes in yield, product performance, or test-system health before significant production is affected.
• Drive improvements in test accuracy, repeatability, throughput, maintainability, and total cost of test.
• Ensure that all production-release requirements are complete, including qualified test solutions, hardware, software, BOMs, drawings, procedures, specifications, costing inputs, training, and manufacturing documentation.
• Support product qualification, reliability investigation, failure analysis, and corrective-action activities.
• Provide technical direction to engineers, technicians, manufacturing personnel, and outside manufacturing partners.
• Lead formal product, yield, test-readiness, and manufacturing reviews.
• Present concise, evidence-based technical recommendations to engineering and program leadership.
• Identify systemic gaps in NPI, product engineering, or production test processes and lead practical improvements.
• Mentor Product Engineer I and Product Engineer II team members in RF measurement, test development, statistics, troubleshooting, documentation, and engineering judgment.
• Establish and promote engineering best practices while remaining willing to work directly with hardware when difficult problems require hands-on investigation.
• Manage multiple technically complex activities while balancing performance, quality, schedule, yield, cost, and manufacturing risk.
