• Oversee lab bring-up, debug, characterization, calibration, and regression testing. 
• Establish test automation and measurement processes to improve repeatability and throughput. 
• Lead failure analysis and root-cause investigations in development and production.
• Manage and mentor a small hardware team; set goals, prioritize work, and support career growth. 
• Maintain high execution standards: clear ownership, realistic estimates, and disciplined follow-through. 
• Recruit and onboard new team members as needed. 
• Foster a culture of technical rigor, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

ABOUT YOU

Required:

• BS/MS in Electrical Engineering or related field. 
• 10+ years of hardware engineering experience, including RF front-end design.
• 3+ years managing or leading small hardware teams (formal manager or strong technical lead). 
• Demonstrated experience shipping hardware products to production—not just prototypes. 
• Understanding of RF concepts: gain/noise budgets, matching networks, filtering, mixers/LOs, LNA/PA chains, isolation, spur management, calibration, etc.
• Strong mixed-signal and high-speed digital design experience (interfaces to FPGA/SoC, DDR, SERDES, JESD, LVDS, etc.). 
• Proven capability in board bring-up, lab debug, and performance characterization.
• Familiarity with PCB layout constraints for RF and high-speed digital (stackups, controlled impedance, shielding, grounding strategies). 
• Experience with manufacturing handoff: DFM/DFT, test fixtures, production yield triage, and sustaining engineering.

Preferred:

• Experience with phased arrays, radar, wireless sensing, or other RF-intensive systems.
• Prior ownership of RF regulatory/compliance testing (FCC/CE/ETSI), EMI/EMC, and environmental qualification. 
• Familiarity with FPGA-adjacent hardware validation (clocking, timing closure considerations, power integrity for large FPGAs). 
• Experience designing RF test setups and automating measurements (VNA, spectrum analyzer, signal generator, power meter, etc.) 
• Track record of improving engineering processes for speed and reliability.
