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 a Field Test Technician to be part of a growing, innovative product development team in a highly collaborative environment. The role will work with R&D and Production teams, well known for delivering unique and differentiated RF systems.
This position requires significant time outdoors, occasionally during cold and warm temperatures locally or at remote locations, to validate product performance.
Responsibilities:
- Support field testing and verification of radar and associated algorithmic performance utilizing drones and other aerial vehicles including airplanes, helicopters, etc.
- Analyze flight data performance and summarize test results.
- Work with development engineering and management to improve and optimize radar performance.
- Prioritize field test plans based on inputs from Operations concerning customer deliveries and R&D concerning product performance enhancements.
- Compare and contrast radar performance in various products including those under development.
- Support ongoing production activities including various “in-lab” calibrations and tests in support of final product performance.
- Document all results, analysis, and procedures.
- Support investigations and root cause analysis of product customer returns, necessary rework, and proposals of future product improvements.
- Participate in the development of lab-based development, measurement, performance analysis, and metrics concerning replicating field performance with an internal lab-based system.
- Support environmental tests relating to field performance requirements as required.
- Reports to Product Engineering & Operations Manager.
Skills:
- Basic knowledge of radio systems products and operation.
- Demonstrated hardware debugging skills utilizing basic bench equipment (DMM, power supply, oscilloscope).
- Strong problem solving and moderate analytical skills.
- Familiar with software operation, script utilization, and various user interfaces.
- Experience in a small through to 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.
- 5+ 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.
- Travel up to 10%.
- 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.
