About the job

RF TEST AUTOMATION ENGINEER – REDMOND, WA

This role will be focused on building and maintaining the automation that turns validated RF tests into reliable nightly runs. You’ll need good-to-strong RF knowledge to understand what the tests measure and to debug failures at the bench.

What You’ll Bring

4+ years of industry experience in professional Python development, ideally test automation or test infrastructure

Strong software practices: Git, code review, modular design, maintainable test code

Experience automating hardware tests and controlling lab instruments from code

Good working knowledge of RF and OFDM radios, and what EIRP, EVM, SNR, RSSI, and BER measure

Hands-on use of spectrum analyzers and signal generators

Jira

Comfortable working in a lab alongside hardware

Bonus Experience

CI/CD tooling such as Jenkins

Large-scale or chamber-based test automation

5G/LTE RAN or satellite terminal test experience

Data pipelines or dashboards for test results

C or C++ exposure

Keysight or Rohde & Schwarz instrument control libraries

What You’ll Do

Build, extend, and maintain the in-house Python test framework for nightly automated runs

Convert validated manual tests into looped, scaled runs across multiple units and product variants

Add stress and temperature sweeps to automated test runs

Keep nightly runs healthy: triage failures, separate test or setup faults from real hardware issues, and fix the framework

Build reporting so RF results (EIRP, EVM, SNR, RSSI, BER, link quality) are available after every run

Control lab instruments from Python and debug at the bench when automation exposes a problem

Track work and defects in Jira; follow version control and release practices on the team’s build pipeline

Own a defined part of the automation and propose improvements the team has not thought of
