Responsibilities
- Execute assembly, integration, and testing of complex RF subsystems including transmitters, antennas, and RF modules
- Perform system-level RF validation campaigns focusing on antenna patterns, signal integrity, and link budget verification
- Lead the integration of RF hardware with other satellite subsystems (avionics, power, thermal), ensuring seamless interoperability and system health
- Develop and maintain automated test scripts and frameworks in Python to enhance efficiency and coverage across RF functional and environmental test campaigns
- Act as the primary technical contact for RF-related integration issues, performing root cause analysis and coordinating with engineering teams to resolve anomalies
- Review, update, and validate RF-specific work instructions, travelers, and test procedures to ensure clarity and manufacturability
- Support production readiness and design reviews (PRR, CDR) by providing feedback on RF testability, hardware-in-the-loop requirements, and system configuration
Requirements
Must haves:
- 5+ years of hands-on experience in the integration, testing, or production of complex RF or microwave systems
- Demonstrated proficiency with high-end RF test equipment including Vector Network Analyzers (VNA) and Spectrum Analyzers
- Strong proficiency in Python scripting and automation for test development and data analysis
- Proven experience in multidisciplinary engineering environments with a focus on system-level validation
- Deep technical understanding of satellite communication subsystems and RF payload interfaces
- Systems engineering mindset -- able to anticipate integration risks and connect RF performance with broader mission operations
- Proficient English (written and spoken) for cross-functional collaboration
Nice to haves:
- Track record of enabling design-for-testability (DFT) and design-for-manufacturing (DFM) for RF hardware
- Experience with Atlassian Cloud tools (Jira, Confluence)
- Lean and Six Sigma experience including 6S implementation
- Ability to write or improve advanced Python test scripts beyond routine execution
Conditions
- Permanent contract
- On-site working model in Valencia, Spain
- Employment is subject to applicable security screening (incl. SUPO, where required)
- Benefits are designed to support health and wellbeing, and offerings vary by location
