RF Test Engineer

As an RF Test Engineer at Spire, you'll be at the cutting edge of transforming satellite designs into production-ready builds. Your work will directly improve RF product quality, streamline manufacturing flow, and ensure seamless transitions from complex engineering concepts to scalable, high-reliability production. You'll define the standards, calibration practices, and test processes that underpin consistent RF performance, while maintaining the infrastructure and equipment that enable repeatable results. This is a unique opportunity to shape how advanced RF systems are built and tested, driving performance and quality from the ground up. What you'll do:

• Lead the transition of RF designs into production by developing and validating repeatable manufacturing and test processes.
• Own calibration, readiness, and maintenance of all RF test equipment, including VNAs, spectrum analyzers, and anechoic chambers, ensuring measurement integrity and compliance.
• Develop and review detailed work instructions, translating complex RF engineering requirements into clear technician-level procedures.
• Feed manufacturability, testability, and process improvement recommendations back to design teams, ensuring updates are reflected in production documentation.
• Participate in build readiness reviews, ensuring documentation maturity, and tooling/test equipment readiness.
• Collaborate with quality assurance to ensure processes meet performance and reliability requirements, and incorporate lessons learned into continuous improvement.
• Provide early training and guidance to production teams, ensuring key RF considerations and care points are well understood ahead of builds., Test Engineer (Manual and Automated) - Edinburgh or Glasgow (Hybrid) - 34K + 10% Bonus & more > Hybrid - 2 days per week in either Central Glasgow or Central Edinburgh (your preference) > Generous holidays, your birthday off, private healthcare, supported training, and..., Software Development Engineer in Test - Hybrid, Location We're a leader in data and AI.
