About The Position

The RF Test Operator sets up and performs tuning and testing on components, subassemblies, and systems to ensure production quality meets TTM standards, working under minimal supervision.

The role performs specialized product testing, preventative machine maintenance, and accurate, timely, and ethical job-related paperwork. The operator communicates with supervisors and managers, suggests procedural changes, attends meetings and training, and helps maintain a clean and safe work environment.
