Test Automation Engineering As...

At Eridan we believe in the power of collaboration and communication to achieve our mission: connect the planet to empower a sustainable, shared future . This is all facilitated through our offices: our Sunnyvale headquarters has big windows (even in the lab!), is walking distance to downtown and the Caltrain, and fits the entire team in the cafeteria for our frequent company parties. Eridan is seeking a Test & Automation Engineer to lead the evolution of our board‑level RF test systems. You will take full ownership of the automation codebase, spearhead comprehensive yield analysis, and develop the foundational infrastructure necessary to move our technology from engineering validation into high‑volume production.

In this capacity, you will serve as the technical lead for our RF test environments, ensuring that all automation is designed for scalability and reliability. This role is a vital link between the lab and the factory floor, with a focus on system enablement and the creation of production‑grade automated solutions rather than basic design or individual board debugging.

As a Test & Automation Engineer, You Will
Core Automation Engineering

Own and extend the board‑level RF test automation codebase (C# / Test Executive), adding and modifying existing code to support new test cases and additional frequency bands

Automate test sequences from specifications provided by the systems and GaN teams, turning PowerPoint‑level requirements into production‑ready test script

Data & Quality Assurance

Collect, organize, and analyze test yield data in bulk, building Pareto analyses to identify top failure modes and translate them into prioritized action items for the systems team

Work with the quality function to track production defects, manage priorities, and present findings to cross‑functional stakeholders

Evaluate and right‑size test equipment selections, identifying when a lower‑cost instrument meets production resolution requirements in place of an engineering‑grade alternative

Qualify new test stations, support remote debugging for contract manufacturers, and bring up new test sites as Eridan scales

Author and maintain technical documentation for test procedures, specifications, and configuration management to support the transition to contract manufacturing

Commit clean, reviewed code to Git and meet the team’s code quality standards for acceptance to the main branch

Qualities of a Successful Candidate

Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field

4+ years of experience in test engineering or a related role

Hands‑on experience with RF test equipment in a lab environment (signal analyzers, signal generators, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, or similar instruments)

Programming experience in at least one language; C# experience is a strong plus given our current test executive stack

Familiarity with data analysis concepts and the ability to work through yield datasets to identify and communicate failure trends

Experience in the telecommunications or wireless industry

Background in a manufacturing or yield environment, including Pareto analysis, defect tracking, or process quality functions

Experience with Git and software version control workflow

Work on new technology that will make a significant impact on global infrastructure

Ability to learn, develop, and advance within a flexible environment

Pre‑IPO equity

Health, Vision and Dental insurance

The base salary range for the primary location of this role is between $120,000 and $140,000 plus stock options and benefits.
