About The Position

Hiller Measurements is a growing, dynamic, high-tech organization in Dripping Springs/Austin area. Inspired measurement design is what we're about. It's a value wrought from decades of component, instrument, and system design experience. We design complex test systems that measure the performance of our customer’s products. Our systems may be used by engineering (for example, an atmospheric effects simulator used in satellite communication system test), by production (ranging from high volume SuperCap testing to very low volume / high coverage satellite payload testing), or by quality (such as incoming screening of RADAR components). We also design custom products for our customers including high power (3000W) RF amplifiers, ultra-low noise frequency down converters, flight certified switch matrices, and custom PXIe / PXLe modules.
