Are you passionate about the intersection of Python programming, electronics, and radio frequency technology? On behalf of our client – an innovative and publicly listed telecom pioneer in Kista – Academic Work is looking for an RF Test Engineer. In this role, you will play a key part in the core R&D organization, developing automated test sequences for next-generation digital coverage solutions and 5G infrastructure. Apply today, as we apply ongoing selection!About the roleOur client develops patented, digital coverage solutions (Distributed Antenna Systems) engineered for demanding environments such as rail and road tunnels, subways, arenas, and large commercial venues. Their systems support commercial cellular networks from 2G up to 5G, as well as mission-critical public safety networks. In this position, you will join a specialized hardware development team of around six engineers at the global headquarters in Kista. The role is focused on the intersection of software and electronics: your primary mission is to build, maintain, and optimize automated RF test sequences and scripts in Python to verify products at both module and system level before they transition into series production. Because the position requires hands-on verification with instruments and test rigs in the laboratory, work is primarily conducted on-site in Kista, with the possibility of working remotely one day per week.You will act as an essential link between internal R&D and manufacturing. Internally, you will collaborate daily with hardware, mechanics, and radio engineers, as well as a larger software development team. You will have no direct customer-facing duties; instead, your primary external stakeholders are production partners and manufacturing facilities in Sweden and Estonia. The role includes occasional travel—approximately 3 to 4 weeks per year—to install, configure, and troubleshoot test setups on-site at the manufacturing plants. You will become part of an open, supportive engin
