Production Test Engineer

Role Overview

Develop and deploy automated test infrastructure supporting RF and radar-related electronic systems. Own automation architecture for hardware control, test sequencing, and data acquisition. Improve reliability, repeatability, and scalability of lab and production test environments. Integrate software, hardware, and networking systems to enable efficient engineering validation and program execution. Support both development validation and production-level test automation needs.

Responsibilities

• Develop and execute automated test solutions for RF and radar-related electronic systems
• Design and maintain Python-based automation for hardware control, test sequencing, and data collection
• Automate workstation provisioning and configuration using Ubuntu/Linux and Ansible
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues in automation scripts, lab systems, and networked test environments
• Configure and debug networking (static IPs, VLANs, interface diagnostics)
• Analyze and visualize test data to support engineering validation and program deliverables
• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to improve reliability, repeatability, and efficiency of test systems
• Document test procedures, automation workflows, and troubleshooting processes

Minimum Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• 3–6 years of experience in test automation, hardware validation, or related engineering roles
• Proficiency in Python for test automation, including virtual environments and automated hardware test development
• Working knowledge of Ubuntu/Linux (command line, log analysis, NIC identification, system configuration)
• Experience with Ansible or similar tools for OS installation and workstation setup automation
• Networking fundamentals including static IP configuration, VLANs, and basic network troubleshooting
• Ability to independently debug and resolve integration issues between hardware, software, and network systems

Preferred Requirements

• Experience with RF systems, radar systems, or high-frequency electronics
• Familiarity with RF test equipment (spectrum analyzers, signal generators, network analyzers)
• Experience supporting defense or aerospace programs
• Experience with data analysis and visualization tools (NumPy, pandas, Matplotlib, Plotly, tkinter)
