Test Engineer (Entry-Level) – RF Test Automation Platform

We are looking for a motivated and curious Test Engineer to join our team supporting a global RF and microwave test automation platform. This system enables advanced measurement and characterization across labs worldwide, integrating with industry-leading test equipment and automating complex workflows for semiconductor device evaluation.

This is an excellent opportunity for a recent graduate to develop both software and hands‑on lab experience while working alongside a highly collaborative and supportive engineering team.

You will contribute to the ongoing development and expansion of a sophisticated, Python‑based test and measurement platform that:

Supports both discrete test setups and integrated analyzer platforms (e.g., Leverages a database‑driven architecture for data storage, security, and asset tracking

Develop and enhance software features within a Python‑based test automation framework

Design and implement new methods for data processing, organization, and visualization

Build tools for real‑time test status monitoring and equipment availability tracking

Create custom automation solutions for new programs and applications

Develop data analysis and plotting routines for engineering insights and reporting

Contribute ideas to improve system performance, efficiency, and usability

Technologies & Equipment

You will gain exposure to a wide range of RF test equipment and systems, including:

Vector Network Analyzers (Keysight PNA‑X, Rohde & Schwarz ZNA)

Digital Multimeters and Oscilloscopes

Automated wafer probing systems and thermal test platforms

Prior experience is a plus but not required – training will be provided.

BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, ECE, Software Engineering, or Computer Engineering

Strong programming skills in Python (required)

JavaScript and/or TypeScript skills

Linux skills

Interest in software development, test systems, or automation

Strong interest in RF and microwave engineering is highly desirable; Exposure to data analysis, automation, or lab‑based projects is beneficial

Interested in test equipment automation and engineering workflows

Motivated to build clear, structured, and actionable reports

Comfortable working in both software and hands‑on lab environments

Demonstrated project work related to automation, data analysis, or lab systems (academic or personal)

Work on cutting‑edge RF and microwave test technologies

Gain hands‑on experience with advanced lab equipment and automation systems

Be part of a motivated, supportive, and highly collaborative engineering team

Build a strong foundation in both test engineering and software development
