Job description

Echodyne offers the world’s first compact solid-state true beam-steering radar for a wide range of industries and applications. Our high-performance radars work in all weather and are designed for autonomous vehicles, uncrewed aircraft & drones, and security of borders, critical infrastructure, and smart cities. The company combines the patented technology of metamaterials with powerful software to create a radar sensor with unprecedented performance at commercial price points. Echodyne offers its radars to companies working in Automotive, Transportation, Critical Infrastructure Protection, Border Security, Smart Cities, Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS), and Airspace Management including Urban Air Mobility (UTM).

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Perform measurements and tests on Echodyne Radar systems and subsystems with a goal of identifying root-cause for production test failures
• Localize failures to the subsystem level to be addressed by rework technicians before re-entry to the production flow
• Compile and analyze test and measurement data, distilling into key performance metrics, and regularly present results
• Develop and document debug methodologies in support of resolving emergent failure modes
• Work with the electrical engineering, systems, and manufacturing teams to ensure the completeness of root-cause analysis and the soundness of corrective and preventative actions

REQUIRED SKILLS / EXPERIENCE

• Hands-on experience working with micro-electronics printed circuit assemblies in a lab environment
  • Familiarity with in ESD (electro-static-discharge) equipment and procedures
  • Experience using RF test equipment (networks analyzers, signal generators, spectrum analyzers, amplifiers, splitters and switches) at microwave frequencies up through Ka-band (40GHz)
  • Experience using digital and analog test and measurement equipment, including oscilloscopes, digital multi-meters, and logic analyzers
  • Python experience for interfacing with test equipment a plus
• Hands-on experience assessing test and measurement results in support root-cause analysis
  • Experience assessing standard RF metrics such as return-loss, gain, noise-figure, compression point and bandwidth
  • Experience assessing analog/mixed signal circuits related to power development and distribution, I2C and SPI bus protocols, and clock synthesis and distribution
• Good interpersonal skills with the ability to work effectively with individuals and groups

QUALIFICATIONS

• 8-10 years or more of relevant experience performing hands-on electronics measurement
• Eligibility to handle export controlled data (ITAR, EAR)

Echodyne’s technology is export controlled by the U.S. Government and we must evaluate an applicant’s eligibility to handle export-controlled information or obtain required Government authorizations. Therefore, we will ask you as part of the application process to identify whether you are a U.S. Citizen or green card holder, or have asylum/refugee status in the U.S.
