Radio Frequency Test Engineer

Making high-performance RF semiconductor devices, tested and proven at wafer level.

You'll join the engineering team as an RF Test Engineer, reporting to the Engineering Manager. Your focus will be wafer-level testing across RF and DC: keeping production test systems running well, bringing new products into production and using test data to keep improving how things are done.

• Looking after RF and DC wafer-level test systems so production results stay accurate and repeatable
• Setting test approaches for S-parameters, noise figure, golden wafer and Gauge R&R
• Developing test hardware, software and algorithms, including LabVIEW applications
• Specifying, sourcing and commissioning probe cards and test equipment

• Working alongside Product Engineering and Production to build test capability for new products
• Turning test data into wafer maps, SPC, correlation and product performance reports
• Device characterisation, evaluation and diagnostic testing

• Diagnosing and resolving production test issues
• Training and supporting Test Technicians and Operators
• Keeping test software, procedures and equipment records up to date
• Finding ways to make test more efficient, reliable and safe

• Hands‑on use of RF/microwave test equipment: VNAs, spectrum analysers, oscilloscopes and signal generators
• Experience developing or supporting DC and/or RF semiconductor test systems
• Programming experience in LabVIEW, C++, C#, .NET, VB or similar
• Confident with data analysis and statistical techniques, including SPC
• HND or degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or a related subject
• Comfortable working on your own or within a project team, and happy to share knowledge with colleagues

• Experience selecting and commissioning test equipment
• Experience supervising staff
