RF Test Technician
Job Title: RF Test Technician
Location: Colchester
Salary: £35,000 to £45,000
Employment Type: Permanent
Working Arrangements: Onsite
Are you an RF Test Technician who thrives on hands‑on testing, precision fault‑finding and working with complex RF and electronic assemblies? Join a leading technology manufacturer pushing boundaries in advanced electronics and high‑performance RF systems.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Work across RF, analogue and digital circuits, supporting cutting‑edge product development.
- Get hands‑on with high‑frequency test equipment and real‑world RF challenges.
- Play a key role in improving product performance, reliability and test coverage.
- Be part of a collaborative engineering team with genuine progression opportunities.
Key Responsibilities
- Perform RF and electronic testing using spectrum analysers, network analysers, signal generators, oscilloscopes and other specialist RF equipment.
- Test, fault‑find and repair PCB assemblies and RF modules down to component level.
- Carry out production, system and functional testing to internal and customer specifications.
- Diagnose and repair faulty finished goods, documenting findings and corrective actions.
- Build and configure RF test fixtures, jigs and ATS setups to support new and existing test processes.
- Interpret RF schematics, PCB layouts and wiring diagrams to support troubleshooting.
- Work closely with engineering and production teams to improve RF test capability, throughput and quality.
- Maintain, calibrate and ensure correct operation of all RF and electronic test equipment.
Experience & Skills Required
- Proven experience in RF or electronics manufacturing, test or repair.
- Strong understanding of RF principles, analogue/digital electronics and signal behaviour.
- Confident in component‑level fault‑finding, rework and soldering.
- Hands‑on experience with RF test equipment (spectrum/network analysers) highly desirable.
- Familiarity with embedded systems, wireless technologies or IP networks beneficial.
- Knowledge of IPC standards (IPC‑610 desirable).
- Strong communication, documentation and problem‑solving skills.
- Degree/HND in Electronics, Electrical Engineering or similar is beneficial but not essential.
Ready for Your Next Move
If you’re passionate about RF testing, precision engineering and working with innovative electronic products, this role offers the chance to join a forward‑thinking team where your expertise truly matters.
