| Aspect | Senior Rf Test Engineer | Rf Test Engineer |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Bachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering, certifications like RF or test engineering preferred | Bachelor's in Electrical or Electronics Engineering, relevant certifications optional |
| Work Environment | Lead testing projects, mentor junior staff, coordinate with design teams | Perform RF testing, troubleshoot issues, document test results |
| Responsibilities | Design test plans, analyze complex RF data, improve testing processes | Execute RF tests, record data, ensure compliance with specifications |
While both roles focus on RF testing, the Senior Rf Test Engineer typically leads testing efforts, mentors team members, and handles complex analysis, whereas the Rf Test Engineer primarily executes tests and documents results. The senior role requires more experience and often involves project management responsibilities.

ABOUT ROCKET LAB
Rocket Lab is an end-to-end space company delivering responsive launch services, complete spacecraft design and manufacturing, payloads, satellite components, and more – all with the goal of opening access to space. The rockets and satellites we build and launch enable some of the most ambitious and vital space missions globally, supporting scientific exploration, Earth observation and missions to combat climate change, national security, and exciting new technology demonstrations.
Our Electron rocket has become the second most frequently launched U.S. rocket annually and has delivered more than 230 satellites to orbit, all while we work to develop Neutron, our upcoming medium-lift, reusable launch vehicle for larger constellation deployment. Our Space Systems business designs and builds our extensive line of satellites, payloads, and their components, including spacecraft that have been selected to support NASA missions to the Moon and Mars and components used on the James Webb Space Telescope.
SPACE SYSTEMS
At Rocket Lab, we're not just launching rockets — we're building the future of space. Our Space Systems team builds everything from complete spacecraft, precision payloads to the components and subsystems that allow them to thrive in space, like solar panels, flight software, star trackers, optical systems, separation systems, radios, and more.
Our Space Systems team has enabled more than 1,700 missions, ranging from interplanetary exploration, in-space manufacturing to national security and defense initiatives. The team has built spacecraft, payloads, and components for missions to the Moon and Mars, working with partners including NASA, the Space Development Agency, and the U.S. Space Force. Whether it's a single high-performance spacecraft, constellation, or the vertically integrated components that help them get to space — our world class Space Systems team is empowering some of the boldest and most ambitious space missions.

We pride ourselves on having each other's backs, checking our egos at the door, and rolling up our sleeves on all tasks big and small.
