- Participate in customer demonstrations, qualification trials, acceptance tests and operational field trials.
- Execute approved test plans and customer requirements.
- Perform RF measurements and verify frequency coverage, signal strength, detection range, jamming effectiveness

and system response.
- Record test results, observations and anomalies and prepare field-test reports.

Troubleshooting & Maintenance
- Diagnose and troubleshoot RF systems, antennas, RF cables, power supplies, communication interfaces and control

software.
- Identify hardware, RF and system-level faults during field deployment.
- Perform fault isolation and coordinate with design, production and engineering teams for corrective action.
- Carry out system reconfiguration, calibration and replacement of faulty modules where required.

Customer & Field Support
- Travel to customer locations, defence establishments, test ranges and field locations as required.
- Support customer demonstrations and technical presentations during field trials.




- Interact with customer engineering, technical and operational teams.
- Provide on-site technical support during deployment and operational trials.

New Product Testing
- Participate in testing and evaluation of new RF / Anti-Drone / GNSS / Detection and Jamming equipment.
- Develop and execute test procedures for new equipment.
- Verify equipment functionality against specifications and requirements.
- Identify design issues and field-level problems and provide feedback to R&D;/product-development teams.

1. Required Technical Skills

RF Engineering
- Strong understanding of RF fundamentals and wireless communication systems.
- Knowledge of RF propagation, antennas, transmission lines and RF link budgets.
- Understanding of frequency, bandwidth, modulation, power levels, sensitivity, noise and interference.
- Ability to interpret RF measurements and analyse spectrum plots.

RF Detection
- Practical knowledge of RF signal detection, spectrum monitoring, RF signal identification, direction-finding concepts,

signal-strength measurement, RF interference analysis and detection-range testing.

RF Jamming

- Knowledge of RF jamming principles, GNSS jamming concepts, RF interference/denial, jamming-effectiveness

evaluation, frequency coverage, power requirements and antenna systems. Anti-Drone / Counter-UAS
- Understanding of RF-based drone detection and identification, RF jamming/mitigation, GNSS-based drone navigation

concepts and Counter-UAS system architecture.
1. Test Equipment Knowledge

Candidates should be comfortable operating or learning to operate: Spectrum Analyzer, RF Signal Generator, RF Power Meter, Vector Network Analyzer (VNA), Oscilloscope, Multimeter, Frequency Counter, VSWR/Return Loss

Measurement Equipment, RF Attenuators, Couplers, Loads, Directional Antennas, RF Cables and Connectors.

1. Qualification

Essential: B.E. / B.Tech / Diploma in Electronics & Communication Engineering, Electronics Engineering, RF/Microwave Engineering, Telecommunications or Electrical & Electronics Engineering.

Preferred: Experience in Defence Electronics, RF Systems, Electronic Warfare, Counter-UAS, RF Surveillance,

Spectrum Monitoring, RF Detection or Jamming Systems.

1.



Experience

Preferred Experience: 3–8 Years. Candidates with hands-on experience in RF Detection Systems, RF Jamming Systems, Anti-Drone / Counter-UAS

Systems, GNSS Detection/Jamming Systems, RF Surveillance, Electronic Warfare Systems, Spectrum Monitoring, RF

Communication Systems, Defence Electronics, RF Test & Measurement, or Antenna Testing and RF Integration will be strongly preferred.

Candidates who have participated in field trials, customer installations and troubleshooting of RF systems will be given preference over candidates with only theoretical RF knowledge.

1. Behavioural & Field Skills

- Strong hands-on troubleshooting ability.
- Ability to work independently at customer and field locations.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Ability to work under pressure during field trials and demonstrations.
- Good communication and customer-interaction skills.
- Willingness to travel extensively across India and, if required, internationally.
- Ability to prepare clear and technically accurate test reports.
- Ability to coordinate with R&D;, production, quality and project teams.
- Good documentation and reporting discipline.

1. Preferred Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate should have hands-on experience with RF detection and/or jamming equipment and understand how such systems behave in real-world environments. Preference will be given to candidates who have previously worked on: RF Detector → RF Detection → Signal Analysis

→ RF Jamming → GNSS Jamming → Anti-Drone / Counter-UAS → Field Trials → Customer Installation →

Troubleshooting.

Candidates should be capable of independently carrying out a site visit, understanding the RF setting, setting up test equipment, conducting tests, identifying faults and reporting results to the engineering team.

1. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

- Successful installation and commissioning of field systems.
- Timely completion of field trials and customer demonstrations.
- Accuracy and completeness of test reports.
- Effective troubleshooting and reduction of repeat field failures.
