  8. Work with vendors, Quality, and Supply Chain to resolve material discrepancies.
  9. Troubleshoot units, modules, and boards to the component level.
Required Qualifications
  1. Bachelor's degree with a minimum of 6 years of relevant experience; or a Graduate degree with a minimum of 4 years; or, in lieu of a degree, a minimum of 10 years of relevant RF experience.
  2. 4+ years of hands-on RF experience.
  3. Demonstrated experience with RF design — defense industry experience strongly preferred.
  4. Hardware troubleshooting capability across analog and RF components and circuits.
  5. Proficiency designing and conducting engineering experiments and acting on test results.
  6. Experience designing and analyzing circuits using ADS, MATLAB, and other simulation tools.
  7. Proven ability to lead small technical design or troubleshooting teams, prioritizing tasks to meet yield and shipment targets.
  8. Skilled in standard lab equipment: oscilloscopes, DMMs, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, and signal generators.
  9. Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to deliver clear technical presentations to all levels of management.
  10. Ability to work independently with general supervision in a fast-paced, multi-team environment.
