Test Engineer - Boulder

We are seeking a Test Engineer to join our engineering team in Boulder, CO to design, automate, and execute tests for cutting‑edge antenna prototypes and products used in advanced radar and communications systems. You will develop Python‑based automated test solutions, analyze data, optimize production test coverage and time, and help transition prototypes to efficient manufacturing. This is a hands‑on, fast‑paced role in a lab environment supporting both government and commercial programs.

• Design, implement, and maintain automated test procedures using Python
• Develop test plans and procedures from product specifications
• Set up and operate test equipment (power supplies, DMMs, oscilloscopes, VNAs, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, thermal chambers)
• Collect, analyze, and report test data; provide recommendations to improve design and manufacturing
• Review and refine production test flows, sequencing, and artifacts to ensure correct performance and process metrics
• Optimize test coverage versus test time in a production environment
• Participate in requirements and design reviews; communicate findings to peers, management, and customers
• Support testing of RF devices, passive antennas, phased‑array systems, and active antennas, including near‑ and far‑field measurements
• Collaborate in a cross‑disciplinary team; mentor and be mentored to solve complex problems
• Travel as required to test labs and demonstrations (no international travel anticipated)

• US Citizenship with ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, Math, or equivalent
• Experience writing test plans and procedures based on product specifications
• Hands‑on test automation with lab equipment (power supplies, DMMs, oscilloscopes, network/spectrum analyzers, thermal chambers)
• Proficiency writing, running, and reporting automated tests (Python or similar scripting language)
• Experience in production test environments optimizing coverage vs. test time
• Experience testing RF devices and hardware
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; participation in requirement and design reviews
• Comfort working in a lab environment; resilient, willing to learn new areas, and able to ‘fail fast’
• Preferred: 2–4 years industry experience in electronic product testing
• Preferred:
  Experience with Military/aviation standards (MIL-STD-704, MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-810, DO-160, DO-178, DO-254)
• Preferred:
  Proficient Python programming
• Preferred:
  Experience generating electrical schematics (Altium Designer a plus) and reading mechanical drawings
• Preferred:
  Prior antenna testing experience, including radiation pattern measurements in near‑ and far‑field chambers
• Physical ability to work in an office/lab setting, lift lab equipment, and use stools as needed
