Senior Engineering Technician

EVONA is partnering with an RF and microwave hardware manufacturer supporting defense, aerospace, unmanned systems, and space applications.

We’re seeking a Senior Engineering Technician to support new product development through hands-on RF testing, evaluation, and troubleshooting. You’ll work alongside engineers to verify amplifier performance, support prototype builds, and develop repeatable test procedures.

What you’ll do

• Set up and operate network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and RF power meters.
• Test new RF amplifiers and circuits, verifying performance against engineering requirements.
• Support microwave tuning, using measurements to guide circuit adjustments.
• Investigate component and test issues, escalating complex problems to engineers.
• Support prototype circuit builds, engineering test fixtures, and RF transistor characterization.
• Create and maintain test procedures, documentation, and results within the quality management system.
• Collaborate with engineering, assembly, and production teams to resolve issues and meet delivery deadlines.

Required experience and skills

• Three or more years of relevant electronics or RF testing experience.
• Hands-on experience operating RF test and measurement equipment.
