What are the responsibilities and job description for the RF / HW Test Engineer position at Eastridge Workforce Solutions and Careers?
Eastridge Workforce Solutions is committed to connecting skilled professionals with meaningful career opportunities. We are seeking a RF/HW Test Engineer to support our client’s team.
RF / Hardware Test Engineer (Contract)
Location: San Jose, CA (Onsite: 5 days per week)
Assignment Duration: March 2, 2026 – September 4, 2026
Pay Range: $55–$65/hr DOE
Hours: 40 hours per week
About the Opportunity
We are supporting an advanced R&D organization within the GNSS SoC location space, focused on validating next-generation mobile and location-based technologies. This team is seeking a hands-on RF / Hardware Test Engineer to support time-sensitive testing across early hardware prototypes and evolving product form factors.
This is a lab-forward role ideal for an engineer who enjoys hardware bring-up, deep technical debugging, and working closely with cross-functional teams to move products from prototype through validation. You will be trusted to operate independently, manage multiple test priorities, and collaborate across teams and global time zones.
What You’ll Be Doing
*
Support new hardware and board bring-ups, including validation and debug activities
*
Execute RF and hardware validation testing across mobile device prototypes
*
Isolate root causes for hardware-related issues and partner with RF, software, and tools teams to resolve them
*
Perform power measurement testing, program and monitor power rails, and inspect hardware schematics
*
Analyze test data, prepare reports, and clearly communicate findings
*
Write scripts to automate test suites and improve test and debug efficiency
*
Adapt quickly in a fast-paced, deadline-driven lab environment
*
Provide occasional on-call or evening support as needed
What We’re Looking For
*
BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications, or a related field
*
2 years of hands-on laboratory experience testing mobile devices
*
Strong familiarity with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, signal generators, vector network analyzers, and NI power instruments
*
Experience with RF measurements including P1dB, IIP, noise figure, and S-parameters
*
Solid understanding of RF receiver architecture and system-level blocks
*
Ability to read and interpret hardware schematics and PCB layouts
*
Experience using Python for test automation
*
Clear communicator who collaborates well across teams
Why This Role Stands Out
*
Work on cutting-edge GNSS and SoC technology
*
Hands-on ownership of real hardware testing and validation
*
Exposure to complex mobile platforms and cross-functional R&D teams
*
Fast-moving environment with meaningful technical impact
