RF/HW & System Validation Engineer

As an RF/HW Validation Engineer, you will bridge the gap between HW & RF validation and complex system-level testing. You will design, develop, and execute automated and manual test plans to verify the performance, reliability, and compliance of our SDR architectures and multi-layered tactical systems, including integration with other systems. You will execute end-to-end system testing of counter-drone platforms, validate various HW products, debug complex RF anomalies, and create comprehensive test plans and reports.

Responsibilities

• System-Level Testing: Execute end-to-end system testing of counter-drone platforms, verifying the integration of RF hardware, firmware, and complex software-defined radio algorithms under real-world scenarios.
• Hardware Product Testing: Test and validate various HW products, including antennas, radar systems, jammers, and related peripherals.
• Failure Analysis & Troubleshooting: Debug complex RF anomalies, signal integrity issues, and system bugs down to the component/board level, working closely with RF Design, Board Design, and SW teams.
• Documentation: Create comprehensive test plans (ATP/DTP), write test reports, and present data-driven analysis to cross-functional R&D teams to impact the next generation of hardware.

Requirements

• B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering / Electronic Engineering or a related technical discipline.
• 5+ years of experience in RF system testing and validation.
• RF Technical Skills: Deep understanding of RF parameters and concepts: S-parameters, EVM, BER, NF, P1dB, Phase Noise, Link Budget. Hands-on experience with high-end RF test equipment (Keysight, Rohde & Schwarz, Anritsu).
• Strong troubleshooting skills in multi-disciplinary systems involving RF, HW, Embedded SW, and Linux environments.
• Creative, hands-on approach with a strong troubleshooting orientation.
• Fluent in English (written and verbal).

Nice to have

• Experience with SDR (Software Defined Radio) architectures and FPGA-based
• RF systems.
• Experience with regulatory compliance testing (FCC, CE, ETSI, MIL-STD).
• Knowledge of digital signal processing (DSP) and wireless protocols (Wi-Fi,
• Bluetooth, LTE/5G).
• Test Automation: Develop, optimize, and maintain automated RF test
• environments and scripts using Python to streamline chip validation and
• production testing.
• Background in the defense-tech, electronic warfare (EW), or telecommunications
• industries.
