MACOM is seeking a Product Engineer II to support New Product Introduction, manufacturing release, production test, and sustaining engineering for complex RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave module products at our Nashua, New Hampshire facility.

The Product Engineer II works with increasing independence and owns well-defined product engineering activities from initial characterization through production release and sustaining support. This engineer combines knowledge of RF product performance with practical experience in test development, data analysis, yield improvement, troubleshooting, and manufacturing processes.

The successful candidate will be comfortable moving between the engineering laboratory and production environment. One day may involve characterizing an RF module, debugging a fixture, or correlating two test systems. The next may involve analyzing a yield excursion, improving a test method, reviewing manufacturing documentation, or coordinating corrective actions with a cross-functional team.

• Support and increasingly own the transition of new RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave module products from engineering development into manufacturing.
• Develop production test plans based on product requirements, design intent, risk, and measurable performance.
• Perform RF and DC characterization across frequency, temperature, power, bias, and operating modes.
• Design, analyze, document, and debug RF test boards, fixtures, interface hardware, and supporting circuitry.
• Work with Test Engineering to develop, deploy, and improve automated production test solutions.
• Establish correlation between bench characterization, automated production test, and customer-facing product specifications.
• Analyze characterization and production data using appropriate statistical methods.
• Recommend test limits that provide effective product screening without unnecessary yield loss.
• Monitor product yield and test performance, identify abnormal trends, and lead focused investigations into assigned issues.
• Perform structured root-cause analysis of electrical failures, test-system problems, assembly defects, and performance variation.
• Support failure analysis and product qualification activities in collaboration with Quality and Reliability Engineering.
• Ensure that test hardware, software, procedures, BOMs, drawings, manufacturing instructions, and other deliverables are ready for production release.
• Review and approve test data and engineering results within assigned areas of responsibility.
• Support manufacturing personnel and technicians with test procedures, troubleshooting methods, and product-specific technical guidance.
• Improve test accuracy, repeatability, throughput, maintainability, and cost.
• Develop automated data-analysis tools and engineering utilities when beneficial.
• Participate actively in design reviews and provide input on manufacturability, testability, expected variation, and production risk.
• Coordinate actions across Design Engineering, Test Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Reliability, Supply Chain, and Operations.
• Create clear technical reports and present findings at product, yield, and program reviews.
• Support released products by resolving manufacturing and test issues in a timely and disciplined manner.

A Product Engineer II is expected to:

• Independently complete defined product engineering assignments.
• Own portions of an NPI or manufacturing-release plan.
• Lead routine yield and test-related investigations.
• Recognize when a problem requires support from a more senior engineer or another technical discipline.
• Make sound engineering recommendations supported by measurement and data.
• Balance product…
