Senior RF Test Engineer I - Antenna

Job Duties And Responsibilities

• Plan, setup, and execute antenna and RF measurement campaigns in anechoic chambers, including Near-Field and far-field radiation patterns, gain, efficiency, and polarization characterization.
• Perform VNA calibration and measurement, spectrum analysis, and signal generation.
• Align, position, and configure devices under test (DUTs), reference antennas, and positioners to maximize measurement fidelity.
• Develop, refine, and document test procedures, setups, and data and test analysis scripts.
• Collaborate with design and systems teams to troubleshoot anomalies and product development.
• Manage and maintain chamber instrumentation, cables, and ancillary RF equipment.
• Develop custom test code, to enhance test performance and reduce test time.

Job Requirements And Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science (BS) or higher in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
• 4+ years of experience in RF testing, with significant hands-on experience in anechoic chamber antenna measurements.
• Proficient with Vector Network Analyzers (VNA), spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and associated RF instrumentation.
• Demonstrated ability to perform pattern measurements, gain and efficiency extraction, and polarization characterization.
• Strong understanding of RF fundamentals: matching, S-parameters, near field and far-field measurements, and chamber effects.
• Experience with automated test procedures and data processing (Python and C#).
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with attention to detail in documentation and reporting.

Preferred Experience

• Experience with phased array testing, antenna and phased array troubleshooting, and OTA testing.
• Antenna design experience.
• Familiarity with NSI control software and positioner automation.
• Prior aerospace or satellite RF test experience.
