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.

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.

• Experience working under microscopes with small, sensitive electronic components.
