• Set up and perform RF measurements, such as gain/attenuation, spurious emissions, S parameters, phase noise, compression (P1dB) measurements, etc.
• Responsible for optimization of RF test parameters, test times, touch times, and test station designs with an ultimate goal to drive down manufacturing costs.
• Identify common RF failure patterns, draft plans to address them and use data analysis tools to optimize and improve test methods and limits to help deliver quality products.
• Implement technical debug plans and train test engineers and technicians to drive down debug and re-test time to optimize production and delivery costs.
• Consistent focus on overall HW yield enhancement, reliability improvement and other continuous improvement processes and procedures.

Additional Responsibilities

• Ensure production processes, assembly documentation and test procedures are in place to meet the highest outgoing quality standards.
• Ensure the on-going quality of the product’s manufacturing processes/test solutions. Update and carry out all inspection/test plans to ensure that all shipments meet the specified parameters and the application level requirements.
