RF Engineering Aide Requisition

We are seeking an experienced RF Technician to provide technical support to a team of industry-leading RF and microwave design engineers. The incumbent will act as a bridge between design development programs and laboratory testing, handling data acquisition, troubleshooting, and documentation for high-performance RF systems. This role is ideal for a hands-on RF professional who wants to expand into design-support activities.

Candidate should have knowledge of Test Equipment: PNAs, Signal Generators/Analyzers, etc. Candidate should be able to set up test stands/test benches. Should be able to collect data (Power/ S Parameters/Harmonics/Phase Noise/Noise Figure).

Candidate should be proficient with Microsoft Products (Excel, Word, PowerPoint). Should be able to use a microscope proficiently. Should have Block Diagram and Schematic literacy. Should be able to perform assembly to print (without work instruction help) and have general RF knowledge.

Job Description (expanded):

Technical Support: assist engineers with diverse technical tasks; gather, maintain, format, compile and manipulate technical data lab results, material test results, engineering design changes).
Documentation Production: Generate engineering documents, reports, and drawings including flow charts, block diagrams, and schematics.
Mathematical & Data Analysis: Perform detailed calculations using established formulas; conduct preliminary analyses of data (trajectory adequacy, model dimensional consistency, quantitative judgements).
Computer-Based Work: Use a PC for analysis, documentation, and report development (Microsoft Office suite).
Test Execution: May conduct tests, record data and support engineering evaluation or analysis activities.
Wire Harness and Chassis Build: Build wire harnesses, test chassis, and CCAs in accordance with drawing specifications.
Microscope Assembly: Assemble components under a microscope using hand tools; work with small, precision parts with attention to detail.
Soldering: Perform fine-pitch soldering of small components adhering to ESD safety practices.
Test-Equipment: Set up and operate RF test equipment (PNAs, signal generators, analyzers, spectrum/network analyzers, power supplies).
Data Collection: Acquire and process performance data: power, S-Parameters, Harmonics, Phase Noise, Noise Figure.
Collaboration & Communication: Communicate findings clearly to engineers and cross-functional teams; support design-change reviews and engineering analyses.

The Engineering Aide will start in Chelmsford and then transition to Andover once the lab is relocated (end of year).
