Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of Inversion as an employer.

What you need

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related technical field with RF emphasis
  • 3-5 years of professional experience in RF test, measurement, validation, or integration
  • Hands-on RF test and measurement experience for component, subsystem, and system-level validation
  • Proficiency with common laboratory equipment such as spectrum analyzers, vector network analyzers, signal generators, oscilloscopes, power meters, multimeters, and power supplies
  • Experience with RF test setup development, calibration, troubleshooting, and data collection
  • Familiarity with receiver/transmitter performance metrics including gain, noise figure, linearity, spurious response, bandwidth, and dynamic range

Nice to have

  • Experience with antenna and over-the-air test methods
  • Familiarity with S-band and L-band communication or telemetry systems
  • Familiarity with aerospace and defense test and qualification standards, such as MIL-STD-810/461, DO-160, and SMC-S-016 requirements
  • Familiarity with S-parameters and their use in evaluating RF component and system performance
  • Experience supporting environmental qualification testing, including EMI/EMC, vibration, thermal, shock, and thermal vacuum (TVAC)

Worth weighing

  • Position requires in-office presence in Playa Vista, CA
  • No specific mention of additional benefits or perks
  • The role may involve working in a fast-paced environment with tight deadlines.
  • Compensation range for RF Test Engineer I is provided, but not for RF Test Engineer II, which may indicate variability in salary expectations.
