Job Description The Engineering Manager works closely with MMIC design, project management, quality, mechanical design and RF test teams to transition the product from development phase to production phase. They own MMIC test board development, production test fixture development, production test plan creation, and analysis of production test data, and assists the quality team in moving the product through qualification. A good understanding of product lifecycle from product conception to development to production release is required especially related to GaAs and GaN MMICs.

This role is accountable for the design, build and validation of Test Boards and Test Fixtures, the successful completion of the qualification and final production documentation of the product. This position must be able to meet deadlines and resolve performance issues along the way with established and appropriate autonomy.

• Develop and validate test boards (TBs) for MMICs in both die and packaged form, ensuring functionality through RF testing and verification.
• Collaborate with CAD and Mechanical Engineering teams to create PCB layouts, assembly drawings, and mechanical component designs.
• Coordinate with Project Management and Purchasing teams to manage BOM availability and procure required components.
• Support the assembly and integration of test boards, including PCBs, RF/DC connectors, SMT components, and mechanical hardware.
• Partner with Design, Test, and Engineering teams to transition test boards into production test fixtures (TFs) and implement production-ready solutions.
• Create production test plans and perform gauge R&R studies to ensure test fixture accuracy, repeatability, and reproducibility.
