Job Description
Build the systems that test the technology shaping the future of RF and microwave communications. About the Company Mission Microwave Technologies was founded in 2014 to revolutionize the next generation of Solid-State Power Amplifiers (SSPAs) and Block Upconverters (BUCs). We leverage advanced GaN transistors, proprietary power-combining techniques, and innovative full-system designs to deliver the industry's most efficient, compact, and lightweight high-power SSPAs. With more than 100 years of combined leadership experience supplying high-performance, high-reliability RF solutions to commercial, military, and space customers, Mission Microwave has grown rapidly over the past decade and is backed by a private equity firm committed to long-term innovation and expansion. We are proud to be ranked on Fortune's Best Workplaces in Manufacturing & Production and to have been recognized as a Great Place to Work since 2022. Mission Microwave is headquartered at 6060 Phyllis Drive, Cypress, CA 90603. About the Role Are you a LabVIEW expert who loves building elegant, high-efficiency automation systems? Do you get energized by turning complex RF/microwave test requirements into software that is fast, accurate, and rock-solid? If so, you'll thrive as a LabVIEW Programmer at Mission Microwave Technologies. In this role, you will develop, optimize, and maintain the automated test and data-acquisition systems that ensure the performance and reliability of our cutting-edge RF and microwave products. You'll work at the intersection of software engineering, hardware validation, and hands-on lab work supporting both high-volume production and next-generation engineering development. What You'll Do Develop, debug, and maintain LabVIEW-based software for automated test systems, DAQ, instrument control, and engineering test benches.
Interface with industry-standard RF/microwave instruments-signal generators, VNAs, spectrum analyzers, power meters, and more-across GPIB, USB, LAN, PXI, and other protocols.
Collaborate with RF engineers, test engineers, and manufacturing teams to transform test requirements into scalable software architectures, test sequences, GUIs, and reporting tools.
Ensure software reliably measures key RF/microwave performance metrics, including gain, power, efficiency, noise figure, and linearity.
Apply modern software engineering best practices: modular design, clean code, documentation, version control, and maintainability.
Upgrade and optimize legacy test platforms to enhance speed, reliability, and user experience.
Provide hands-on support on the factory floor-troubleshooting hardware/software interactions, commissioning systems, and resolving issues quickly.
Drive continuous improvement initiatives around automation workflows, data management, and instrument integration.
Support new product introduction (NPI), ensuring test software scales with production throughput, yield, and quality goals.
Participate in system integration and test-fixture discussions, aligning software architecture with hardware and manufacturing strategies. What You Bring Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related technical field 5+ years developing LabVIEW applications in test automation or DAQ environments 3+ years experience with RF/microwave test and measurementHands-on experience controlling oscilloscopes, VNAs, signal generators, power meters, DAQs, and similar lab equipmentAdvanced proficiency in LabVIEW (G-language), including modular design and state-machine architecturesStrong understanding of GPIB, USB, Ethernet, LXI, and related instrumentation protocolsExcellent troubleshooting and root-cause analysis skills-especially for software/hardware interactionsAbility to work in a fast-paced lab and manufacturing environment with engineers, technicians, and QA teams Self-driven, detail-oriented, and collaborative, with a strong sense of ownership and responsibilityAbility to handle sensitive information with discretion Bonus Points LabVIEW certification (CLD, CLA)Experience with LabVIEW Analytics or Machine Learning ToolkitFamiliarity with Matlab, Python, and/or RExperience with GPUs, FPGAs, or NPUs At Mission Microwave, you don't just take a job; you step into a mission that matters.
