Job Description & How to Apply Below

We are hiring a Senior Engineering Laboratory Technician to support advanced radar and RF sensing platforms from early prototype through pilot builds and field validation. This is a hands-on, lab-focused role embedded in a fast-moving R&D environment where hardware moves quickly from concept to real-world deployment.

This is not a design engineering or PE role. The focus is execution, bring-up, debugging, testing, and direct hardware support at the bench.

What You’ll Be Doing
  • Support new hardware designs from early prototype through validated systems
  • Perform hands-on hardware bring-up, debugging, and characterization
  • Work with mixed-signal systems across analog, digital, RF, and power domains
  • Support FPGA/SoC platforms (DDR, PCIe, Ethernet, USB, high-speed serial interfaces)
  • Use lab equipment daily including oscilloscopes, spectrum/network analyzers, and logic analyzers
  • Perform soldering, rework, modification, and PCB repair
  • Assist with mechanical assembly, enclosures, cabling, and system integration
  • Build and support prototype test fixtures, jigs, and lab setups
  • Execute lab test plans, validation procedures, and field testing support
  • Document assembly, test, and validation procedures for repeatable builds
  • Partner closely with Hardware, RF, Radar, Test, Systems, Software, and AI teams
What We’re Looking For
  • 8+ years of hands-on engineering technician or laboratory experience
  • Strong bench-level debugging and troubleshooting skills
  • Comfort working across analog, RF, digital, and power systems
  • Experience supporting RF, SDR, or radar-based platforms
  • Excellent soldering, rework, and PCB repair capabilities
  • Ability to read schematics and hardware documentation (Altium a plus)
  • Experience in prototype, R&D, or early-stage hardware environments
Nice to Have
  • mmWave RF exposure
  • Python, C, LabVIEW, or scripting for test automation
  • Experience building custom lab infrastructure or test fixtures
