ATE Technical Lead

Ramon.Space is at the forefront of building state-of-the-art space-resilient computing infrastructure that empowers the next generation of satellites and space missions. Our on-board processors (OBP) revolutionize traditional satellites into smart, software-defined units so applications can be developed and updated in real-time, creating infinite possibilities for space satellite payloads and deep space missions.

The ATE Technical Lead is responsible for the technical leadership of ATE test station development, including system architecture, test strategy, and transition from R&D to production. We are seeking a highly experienced professional with a strong background in RF, digital, and system-level testing, and with the ability to guide technical decisions, solve complex integration challenges, and support advanced test equipment for production environments.

What will you do:

·        Design and develop Automated Test Equipment (ATE) for RF, digital, and mixed-signal products at board and system levels.

·        Lead the technical definition and implementation of test strategies in collaboration with R&D, product engineering, and manufacturing teams.

·        Own the technical analysis of system schematics, block diagrams, and interface requirements to define robust and reliable ATE solutions.

·        Support production lines by troubleshooting test failures and optimizing test processes for yield and throughput improvements.

·        Provide technical guidance for integration with software and firmware control and automation systems.

• Evaluate and select test instruments, fixtures, and measurement techniques based on product specifications.
• Maintain documentation for test systems, including design files, calibration procedures, and troubleshooting guides.

·        Mentor engineers and technicians on ATE methodologies, operation, and maintenance.

What are we looking for:

·        Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or equivalent. Practical Engineer (PE) with strong, proven experience will also be considered.

·        Minimum of 10 years of experience in ATE development, technical problem solving, and production line support.

·        Proven expertise in both RF and digital hardware design and testing.

·        Deep understanding of system-level architecture and the ability to lead technical decisions based on schematics and high-level block diagrams.

·        Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, especially in troubleshooting test setups and product failures.

·        Experience with RF test equipment (spectrum analyzers, VNAs, signal generators) and digital scopes, logic analyzers, etc.

·        Familiarity with programming/scripting languages for test automation Python – a plus.

·        Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to drive alignment across multidisciplinary teams.

·        Excellent mathematical and problem-solving skills.

• ·        Self-driven, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment.
