MatrixSpace is addressing the next generation of AI-enabled sensing solutions using real-time edge-based sensing to sense, detect, and recognize objects and motion in any situation. MatrixSpace’s ability to combine industry leading RF sensing, AI edge processing and RF communication in real-time is a major technology breakthrough with multiple vertical market applications.
We are seeking an experienced Senior Technician to work with R&D and Production teams to deliver unique portable radar systems for safety and security purposes. This position is part of a growing, innovative product development team.
Responsibilities:
- Support prototype sub-circuit, board, and module-level test development and implementation of new hardware and RF products.
- Root cause/repair of manufacturing defects at both board product levels that will include various levels of soldering capabilities.
- Support/drive product level environmental and regulatory tests for RF products and systems.
- Support of production ramp-up activities including various calibration, tests, and final performance verifications and procedures.
- Documentation of all assembly/test procedures and processes for both internal development and manufacturing production environments.
- Support of MOL activities including root cause analysis of product customer returns, necessary rework, and proposals of future product improvements.
- Participate in team reviews of hardware design, hardware/software/firmware partitioning, and implementations.
- Work closely with R&D and Test Engineering to develop and implement prototype evaluation and pre-production verification tests and associated test platforms such as board-level jigs.
- Support/lead product level environmental, quality, reliability, and regulatory tests.
- Support prototype and production procurement efforts as required.
Skills:
- Experience in radio systems products. Must understand and have experience in RF systems and implementation of these systems in real world environments. mmWave experience a plus.
- Demonstrated hardware debugging skills using bench equipment (spectrum analyzer, network analyzer, DC power, etc.).
- Strong problem solving, rework, and repair skills including soldering and assembly of complex PCB assemblies and products.
- Some software experience including C, Python, and/or LabVIEW.
- Experience of reading/tracing PCB schematic, placement, layout (Altium) a plus.
- Demonstrated success in technical problem-solving and repair capabilities.
- Experience in a small through large scalable manufacturing and test environment a plus.
- Strong written and verbal communications skills. Good interpersonal skills.
Requirements:
- Electrical Engineering Technology Certification/Degree or equivalent required.
- 8+ years of relevant work experience
- This position requires the ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance issued by the U.S. government. U.S. citizenship is required to obtain a security clearance.
- This position is on-site at our Hoffman Estates, Illinois facility.
Compensation
This role offers a competitive base salary, health and wellness benefits, 401K program options, and more.
MatrixSpace is re-imagining radar, addressing the next generation of AI-enabled sensing so that objects can be identified and data collected at the edge in real-time. We have built the smallest, expendable radar system to provide new levels of integrated outdoor surveillance in 5D (the size, location, range and movement of objects in time) that makes it accessible to a broad range of public and private enterprises. Today we are already working with several branches across the Department of Defense.
