| Aspect | Test | Quality Assurance Tester |
|---|---|---|
| Required Credentials | Basic knowledge of testing tools, sometimes certifications like ISTQB | Similar certifications, often more comprehensive understanding of QA processes |
| Work Environment | Typically in software development teams, performing manual or automated testing | Works closely with development and product teams to ensure quality standards |
| Employer & Industry Usage | Used across software, gaming, and tech industries | Common in software development, IT, and tech sectors |
| Search & Comparison Intent | Often searched by those looking to perform specific testing tasks | Compared when exploring roles focused on overall quality processes |
While both Test and Quality Assurance Tester roles involve testing software, Test typically refers to executing test cases to identify bugs, whereas Quality Assurance Tester encompasses a broader responsibility for maintaining quality standards throughout the development process. The roles overlap significantly, but QA testers often have a wider scope including process improvement and documentation.

This is a senior-level RF/Phased Array Test Engineering position requiring significant expertise in radio-frequency systems, software-defined radio (SDR) technologies, and phased-array antenna systems.
The role demands a highly qualified professional with 7-10 years of specialized experience who can lead complex test programs, develop comprehensive test strategies, and collaborate across multidisciplinary engineering teams.
This position is ideal for an experienced test engineer who combines deep technical knowledge of RF systems with strong analytical capabilities and proven program management skills. Signal processing capability is a plus.
Required Skills:
•Bachelor's degree, Master's degree, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or related scientific/engineering field.
•Experience in supporting test programs, timelines, and deliverables, and experience working with multi-disciplinary engineering teams
•Minimum 7-10 years of relevant experience in RF/Phased Array/SDR test engineering
•Working knowledge of RF systems, propagation, modulation, frequency planning, link budget analysis, and digital signal processing
•Systematic troubleshooting of complex RF and digital system issues
•Experience in phased arrays, including beamforming, beam steering, and array calibration
•Ability to create comprehensive test strategies, test automation frameworks, procedures, documentation, scripting (Python, C++, etc.)
•Proficiency with spectrum analyzers, vector network analyzers, signal generators, and oscilloscopes
•Testing for EVM, ACPR, phase noise, spurious emissions, and other key parameters
•Experience with far-field and near-field antenna pattern measurements
•Proficiency in analyzing large test datasets and extracting meaningful insights using MATLAB or similar tools
•Strong verbal and written communication skills including collaborating with other on-site and/or remote technical team members, preparing and sharing technical results with others, and documenting work to aid other team members and activities
•Ability to work effectively with RF engineers, software developers, systems engineers, and program managers
Desired skills
•Familiarity with FCC, NTIA, ITU, or military standards (MIL-STD) as applicable
•Understanding of phase-coherent multi-channel systems and precision timing requirements
•Experience integrating SDR hardware with phased array antennas and RF front-ends
•FPGA knowledge of hardware acceleration for signal processing tasks
•Familiarity with real-time operating systems and embedded software development
Location:
Position requires on site laboratory activities each week - including classified discussions, hardware development, test, debug. Candidate should expect to be onsite 4 days/week with one day remote initially.
Clearance:
Interim clearance is sufficient for the start of this assignment, however ACTIVE SECRET is HIGHLY preferred.
