## About the role

We are seeking a new-graduate RF Hardware Test Engineer to help verify RF modules, assemblies, and interfaces used in airborne and ground systems. Working alongside experienced engineers, you will build practical expertise in RF measurements, instrument automation, data analysis, troubleshooting, and qualification support. This role is centered on disciplined test execution and objective evidence rather than top-level RF system architecture.

## What they're looking for

- Bachelor's or master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, or a related technical field, completed or expected within 12 months of the anticipated start date
- Coursework, research, project, or internship experience in RF or microwave engineering, communications, electromagnetics, analog circuits, or electronic hardware testing
- Fundamental understanding of S-parameters, impedance, transmission lines, gain and loss, noise, power, spectral content, and frequency response
- Hands-on laboratory experience gained through coursework, research, an internship, a student organization, or a personal project
- Basic programming and data-analysis skills in Python, MATLAB, or a similar environment
- Ability to follow test procedures, document setups and results accurately, recognize uncertainty, and ask for guidance when needed
