Senior RF Manufacturing Test Engineer (RF)

Location: Huntsville, Alabama, United States; hands-on work on the manufacturing floor and at the bench. U.S. citizenship required.

Company

hirify.global supports the transition and production of advanced RF systems for mission-critical defense applications.

What you will do

• Serve as the technical authority for production RF performance, test strategy, and yield optimization across seekers, proximity sensors, height-of-burst sensors, antennas, and RF subsystems.
• Lead root-cause investigations into intermittent failures, environmental sensitivities, calibration drift, noise, spurious signals, coupling, shielding, grounding, and unit-to-unit variation.
• Transition RF hardware from development into production with representative test coverage, robust calibration, repeatability, and complete readiness documentation.
• Develop automated RF test systems, alignment and calibration routines, and system-level validation methods using Python, LabVIEW, TestStand, or similar frameworks.
• Optimize test flows, reduce test escapes and false failures, and use production data to analyze yield loss, drift, and performance variation.
• Partner with Design Engineering, Program Management, Quality, Supply Chain, and customers while mentoring engineers and technicians in RF debugging and measurement techniques.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field and 8+ years of hands-on RF or microwave production experience; a master’s degree is preferred.
• Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot complex RF systems in production, including gain, loss, dynamic range, noise figure, sensitivity, linearity, compression, phase noise, stability, and interference mechanisms.
• Hands-on experience with spectrum analyzers, vector network analyzers, signal generators, and power meters or sensors.
• Experience with production calibration, alignment, tuning, statistical process control, yield analysis, and failure investigation.
• Ability to diagnose issues spanning RF, digital, embedded, and electromechanical domains, including mechanical layout, grounding, shielding, and assembly variation.
• U.S. citizenship is required.
