The job, in the employer's words
Radar Reinvented.
Echodyne offers the world’s first compact solid-state true beam-steering radar for a wide range of industries and applications. Our high-performance radars work in all weather and are designed for autonomous vehicles, uncrewed aircraft & drones, and security of borders, critical infrastructure, and smart cities. The company combines the patented technology of metamaterials with powerful software to create a radar sensor with unprecedented performance at commercial price points. Echodyne offers its radars to companies working in Automotive, Transportation, Critical Infrastructure Protection, Border Security, Smart Cities, Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS), and Airspace Management including Urban Air Mobility (UTM).
Echodyne is seeking a Senior RF Test / Debug Engineer with experience in RF electronics to join our team working in a fast-paced environment, developing high-performance commercial radar solutions.
As a Senior RF Test Engineer, you will play a key role in the development and production of Echodyne radars, enabling us to meet aggressive development goals while maintaining a high degree of engineering rigor. You will contribute to solving and learning from challenging problems and root-cause investigations related to system-level and board-level failures, all related to state-of-the-art radar. In this role, you will apply your knowledge of RF circuits and test methods to help solve challenging design and debug problems on cutting-edge radar circuits.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Plan and perform measurements and extended tests on Echodyne Radar RF subsystems and components
- Compile and analyze the resulting data, distilling into key performance metrics seeking full understanding of new RF circuits or in the identification of root-cause
- Troubleshoot complex RF failure modes
- Design, maintain and improve RF test and measurement capabilities, methods, fixtures, and equipment
- Work with the electrical engineering, systems, and manufacturing teams to identify metrics of interest, anticipate measurement requirements, and develop troubleshooting and procedures and guidelines
- Train and mentor junior engineers and technicians
REQUIRED SKILLS / EXPERIENCE
- Hands-on experience working with micro-electronics printed circuit assemblies in a lab environment
- Familiarity with in ESD (electro-static-discharge) equipment and procedures
- Experience using RF test equipment (networks analyzers, signal generators, spectrum analyzers, amplifiers, splitters and switches) at microwave frequencies
- Knowledge of standard RF metrics and how to access them through measurement, such as return-loss, gain, noise-figure, compression point and bandwidth
- Experience using digital and analog test and measurement equipment, including oscilloscopes, digital multi-meters, and logic analyzers
- Hands-on experience analyzing test and measurement results in support root-cause analysis
- Experience with the development of tests and assessments to perform root-cause analysis
- Experience analyzing standard RF metrics such as return-loss, gain, noise-figure, compression point and bandwidth
- Good interpersonal skills with the ability to work effectively with individuals and groups
DESIRED SKILLS / EXPERIENCE
(Looking for one or more as a complement to the core skills)
- Python or MATLAB experience interfacing with test equipment (via COM, PHY, GPIB, etc)
- Experience designing, building, and troubleshooting basic analog and digital circuits
QUALIFICATIONS
- BS or MS Degree in Engineering or Physics with 5-7 years or more of experience performing hands-on RF measurement
