Job description

Insight Global is seeking a Test Services Lead to join our client's division and oversee a specialized EMI/RF testing business that supports both internal product development and external customer testing engagements. This position is heavily focused on technical expertise and customer interaction. The ideal candidate will be comfortable operating within a laboratory environment, conducting and overseeing EMI/RF testing, reviewing data, interpreting results, and ensuring compliance with industry standards and certifications.

The team serves customers across a variety of industries and helps troubleshoot product failures, conduct certification testing, and validate shielding performance.
