About the role
RF/Software Test Engineer A government-supporting organization is seeking an RF/Software Test Engineer to support the verification and testing of an RF/FPGA-based system. This person will work closely with an FPGA engineer to help prove the system is operating as designed through test architecture setup, test execution, hardware configuration, and software-based control/automation. The engineer will work hands-on with RF laboratory equipment such as VNAs, oscilloscopes, and SDRs, configuring equipment in different test configurations and repeatedly executing tests to validate system performance. They will also use Python as the primary software language, with MATLAB and C++ as additional valuable skills, to develop and improve engineering/test capabilities. A portion of the work will involve taking the basic software setup currently being used to control the FPGA and improving/developing that capability further in Python or C++ so that others can operate it independently.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
