Job Description:
RF Engineer – Advanced RF Measurement Systems Location: Kennesaw, GA (Lab-Based + Limited Travel) Read on to find out what you will need to succeed in this position, including skills, qualifications, and experience.
Compensation:
Competitive Base Salary + Benefits Employment Type: Full-Time About the RoleOur client is seeking a hands-on RF Engineer to design, build, and support sophisticated RF measurement systems used for antenna characterization, radar cross-section (RCS) testing, and electromagnetic materials analysis. This is an end-to-end engineering role—ideal for someone who enjoys taking systems from concept to reality, working directly with hardware, and supporting real-world measurement environments. What You’ll Be Working OnDesign Complete RF Measurement Systems Build VNA-centric systems for antenna testing, RCS measurement, and EM material characterization. Architect RF Signal ChainsDesign and integrate RF front-ends including switches, amplifiers, couplers, filters, and calibration paths.
Build & Validate Systems:
Assemble hardware, integrate mechanical positioners and scanners, perform calibration, and verify system performance.
Solve Complex Measurement Problems:
Debug RF, mechanical, and software issues to ensure stable, repeatable, high-quality measurements.
Install & Support Systems:
Support on-site installations, train users, and provide post-deployment troubleshooting.
Create Clear Documentation:
Produce wiring diagrams, test procedures, calibration workflows, and user guides to support long-term system reliability.
What We’re Looking For:
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent hands-on experience

- Proven experience working with Vector Network Analyzers
- Hands-on comfort with RF lab tools and precision connectors
- Methodical troubleshooting mindset and strong documentation habits
- Ability to manage multiple technical workstreams independently Bonus Experience (Not Required)
- Antenna measurement systems (near-field, far-field, anechoic chambers) xaygatp RCS measurement concepts and calibration techniquesEM materials testing and parameter extractionRF front-end design experience
- Test automation or instrumentation control (Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW, etc.)Familiarity with major RF instrumentation vendors What Success Looks LikeYou can turn a vague measurement requirement into a robust, repeatable system
- You’re just as comfortable tightening a precision connector as you are tuning a calibration workflow
- Customers trust you during installs and rely on your technical judgment Travel & Environment
- Primarily lab-based
- Occasional travel for installations and customer support (≈10%)
