Role Description
This is a full-time, on-site role for an Electronics RF Technician. You will be a proactive, hands-on team player responsible for testing, tuning, and troubleshooting complex digital, analog, and RF circuitry down to the component level. Working in a laboratory environment, you will assemble and validate optical components—including lasers and photodiodes—while supporting Engineering in root cause analysis and new product development.
Key Responsibilities:
• Support the production line by performing electronic testing on units, sub-assemblies, and customer returns (RMAs).
• Operate complex test equipment including Oscilloscopes, Spectrum Analyzers, Signal Generators, and Network Analyzers.
• Test, tune, and troubleshoot RF Optical Fiber units, isolating technical issues to the specific component level.
• Develop and modify manufacturing test plans, procedures, and technical documentation.
• Perform precision rework, soldering, and assembly of optical components such as fiber cables, lasers, and photodiodes.
• Conduct Environmental/ESS testing (spanning -40C to 80C) and meticulously log data for analysis.
• Provide technical assistance to Engineering for out-of-box failures and help set up or modify new product test stations.
Minimum Qualifications:
• Strong foundational knowledge of Electrical/Electronics principles and RF circuitry.
• Proven experience troubleshooting digital and analog systems to the component level.
• Ability to operate high-level test equipment (Network Analyzers, Spectrum Analyzers, etc.) and understand intermodulation/noise measurements.
• Experience working under microscopes with small, sensitive electronic components.
• Self-motivated with the ability to multi-task and communicate effectively within a team.
• Familiarity with computers and basic data collection procedures.
• Legally authorized to work in the U.S. (verification required; no visa sponsorship).
Preferred Qualifications:
• Prior professional experience specifically in Fiber Optic systems and assembly.
• Hands-on skills in optical fiber splicing (straight and lossy splices).
• Advanced soldering and precision rework capabilities.
Benefits/Salary:
• Competitive compensation based on experience ($21.00 to $30.00 per hour)
• Comprehensive health benefits.
• An upbeat, challenging, and professional working environment with growth opportunities.
