Software Engineer

As a Software Engineer specializing in developing automated systems for analysis of antenna calibration and validation. You will be responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining automated testing frameworks and tools to ensure the reliability, performance, and quality of RF and digital hardware. You will work closely with Antenna engineers, software developers, and quality assurance teams to automate testing processes and optimize system performance. 

Development of Automated Calibration Systems: 

• Design, develop, and maintain software and frameworks for RF test systems.  

• Create automated test cases to validate functionality, performance, and reliability of test systems.  

• Implement automated regression testing to ensure system stability across software releases.  

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate automated testing into the software development lifecycle.  

RF System Integration:  

• Work closely with Antenna engineers to understand system requirements and specifications. 

• Develop automated scripts to run measurements and analysis from the Compact Antenna Test Range (CATR) test systems using Python.  

• Integrate testing methodologies into automated testing frameworks using Python.  

• Develop automation for validation of RF system functionality.  

• Documentation and Reporting:  
• Document test procedures, methodologies, and results for internal reference and regulatory compliance.  
• Generate reports summarizing test findings, including defects and performance metrics.  
• Communicate effectively with stakeholders to convey test results and recommendations.  

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Physics, Electrical Engineering or related field. Master’s degree preferred.  

• Proficiency in programming languages such as Python/Matlab.  

• Experience with automating the testing/production of hardware elements such as PCBs and passive/active antennas.  

• Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., Git) and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines.  

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with attention to detail.  

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in a cross-functional team environment. 

Desired

• Experience with RF simulation tools (e.g., MATLAB, Simulink) and RF test equipment (e.g., spectrum analyzers, signal generators). 
• Solid understanding of RF principles, including modulation techniques, signal processing, and wireless communication protocols.  
• Prior experience in RF testing, automation engineering, or software development is highly desirable.
