RF PCBA Design and Test Engineer

Job description

Summary We are seeking an RF PCBA Design and Test Engineer for the design, integration, and delivery of high-reliability RF/mixed-signal printed circuit assemblies for phased-array and advanced radar/communications products. You will own the PCB lifecycle—from stack-up definition and layout governance through fabrication, assembly, bring-up, release, and test lifecycle for production circuit card assemblies (CCAs) and integrated RF systems. Position Responsibilities

AV isn’t for everyone. We hire the curious, the relentless, the mission-obsessed. The best of the best.

We don’t just build defense technology—we redefine what’s possible.

Founded by legendary innovator Dr.

Job requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or related engineering field.
  • 8+ years in RF/microwave and mixed-signal PCB development for high-reliability products.
  • Master’s degree preferred.
  • Experience delivering phased-array TR modules, beamforming IC integrations, or wideband front-ends in production.
  • Background in design for ruggedization and environmental screening (thermal cycling, vibe/shock) and reliability analysis (derating, FMEA).
  • Familiarity with PLM (e.g., Arena/Windchill), manufacturing with domestic CMs, and rapid RCCA/MRB/CCB processes.
  • Exposure to mmWave packaging, RF connectors/launches (SMPM/SMP/SEARAY/coax launches), and fixture design for S-parameter/over-the-air test.
  • Certifications (IPC CID/CID+), or equivalent PCB design credentials.
