Company: TERASi
What you’ll actually do
- RF Validation & Characterisation: Own the bench testing for new PCB revisions. You’ll use VNAs, spectrum analysers, and signal generators to characterise RF chains and ensure performance aligns with simulations and link budgets.
- Design Assistance: Support the senior design team by performing schematic captures, component selection, simulation (CST and/or ADS) and circuit modifications
- Bring up new PCB revisions: power-on, functional test, characterisation against spec.
- Solder and rework fine-pitch SMD and RF components, including 0201 components and QFN packages. Modify boards when a design change needs testing before a respin.
- Troubleshoot hardware failures methodically. Isolate the fault, narrow it down, document what you found.
What we’re looking for
You should be credibly strong on most of the must-haves:
- Confident solderer. Fine-pitch SMD, QFN, rework of RF components — you’ve done this and you’re good at it.
- Comfortable with RF/microwave test equipment. VNA, spectrum analyser, signal generator, oscilloscope. You set them up, calibrate them, and trust the results.
- Enough RF/microwave understanding to troubleshoot without a script. You recognise unexpected spurs, you know what a PLL lock failure looks like, you can tell a real signal from a measurement artefact.
- Systematic troubleshooting. You isolate faults methodically and explain how you got there.
- 3–5 years in a hands-on lab or bring-up role.
Nice-to-haves:
- Serial protocol debugging (SPI, I2C, UART).
- FPGA boards or high-speed digital hardware (ADC/DAC, Ethernet).
