The RF Microelectronics, Module Design, and Foundry Services Department (RFMicro) develops, designs, and manufactures compound semiconductor devices, microwave/millimeter-wave integrated circuits, and modules for defense applications. There is an exciting opportunity in the department for a 1st Shift Senior RF Electrical Test Engineer to join the production test workcenter supporting the test of gallium arsenide and gallium nitride Monolithic Microwave Integration Circuits (MMICs).

Responsibilities

• Oversee measurements on GaAs and GaN devices and MMICs (Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits) in a production environment
• Setup, calibrate, and troubleshoot electrical test systems
• Utilize software to control test equipment and upload test results
• Validate test systems setups, review, and accept compliant device data
• Support the wafer foundry and MMIC design teams
• Interface with project leads, designers, and customers to ensure compliant and accurate test results
