Round-Peg Solutions (RPS)
Radio Frequency Technician
Round-Peg Solutions (RPS), Los Angeles, California, United States, 90079
Recruitment Consultant in Aerospace & Defence Scotland/LA
One of the top 10 Metrology labs in the country is seeking an experienced RF Calibration Technician to join a trusted, accredited, modern calibration laboratory with 45+ years of excellence supporting Aerospace, Medical, and other high‑precision industries.
This role is focused on the calibration of RF and microwave test equipment itself – the instruments used to test systems – not antennas, RF devices, or production hardware.

Maintain laboratory safety and quality standards
Requirements of the RF Calibration Technician:
Hands‑on experience calibrating RF and microwave test equipment (bench instruments, not RF devices or antennas)
Background in RF, electrical, time & frequency, or vibration calibration
ISO/IEC 17025 knowledge preferred
Strong attention to detail, documentation, and problem‑solving skills
Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and travel to client sites as needed
Valid driver’s license
