Senior RF Test Systems Engineer

AGMDC is the RF and microwave design division of AmpliTech Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMPG), designing MMICs and subsystem hardware for SATCOM, defense, 5G, space, and quantum computing from simulation through packaged, tested hardware. We are looking for a Senior RF Test Systems Engineer to build and run the automated test stations that characterize our LNAs, MMICs, and RF subsystems, using Python to turn bench measurements into fast, repeatable production test.
Key Responsibilities

Design, build, and maintain Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) stations in Python for engineering characterization and production test
Automate S-parameter measurements on vector network analyzers (VNAs), including calibration, de-embedding, and fixture setup
Develop noise figure and gain measurements using noise figure analyzers and Y-factor methods
Automate power sweeps to measure P1dB, Psat, OIP3, and efficiency with signal generators, spectrum analyzers, and power meters
Test 5G NR modulated signals, including ACLR, EVM, and linearity measurements
Build tools for data collection, analysis, and reporting, and maintain test limits, procedures, and test data records
Troubleshoot test hardware, fixtures, and measurement anomalies, and support root-cause analysis with the design team
Keep test equipment calibrated and ready, and help specify new test capability as programs require
Required Qualifications

BS in Electrical Engineering or a related field
5+ years of experience in RF test, RF measurement, or RF hardware engineering
Hands-on experience with VNAs, noise figure analyzers, spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and power meters
Strong Python skills for instrument control and data analysis
Solid understanding of S-parameters, noise figure, compression, and linearity measurements
Working knowledge of 5G NR signals and modulated measurements
Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and communication skills
Preferred Qualifications

Experience testing LNAs, MMICs, or RF modules at microwave and mmWave frequencies
Experience with on-wafer or fixtured test and calibration methods
Familiarity with Keysight, Rohde & Schwarz, or similar instrument ecosystems
Experience with Git and building test data dashboards or databases
US Person status for work on ITAR-controlled programs
