Experienced Analog and Mixed-Signal MMIC/ASIC Design Engineer

Keysight Technologies, Inc.•Colorado Springs, CO

21h•Onsite

About The Position

This job will be part of Keysight Advanced Technology Laboratories, which helps Keysight be first to market, focusing on top opportunities and market trends that address unmet needs. Keysight Laboratories is focusing on the development of state-of-the-art analog and mixed signal application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), and monolithic millimeter-wave integrated circuits (MMICs) and subsystems that provide Keysight’s test and measurement products with a competitive advantage in performance and cost. As an Analog and Mixed-Signal (BiCMOS) ASIC / MMIC (InP, SiGe, GaAs, ...) Design Engineer at Keysight Technologies, you will apply your IC design knowledge and experience to design Analog and Mixed-Signal ASICs and MMICs that enable Keysight’s next generation of measurement/test equipment. To identify what ICs are needed in current and future Keysight instruments you will be involved in system-level analysis to identify the needed IC performance with respect to the overall system requirements. This role will be based in Colorado Springs, CO, where the majority of the Analog Signal Conditioning circuit teams are located.

Requirements

MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, with thesis work (PhD or MS) on mixed-signal IC design preferred.
6+ years of substantial experience in high-speed analog and mixed-signal ASIC and MMIC design using advanced semiconductor processes.
Strong background in analog and RF circuit design, and bipolar transistor design.
Strong understanding of fundamentals in microwave engineering.
Strong understanding of signal integrity and EM issues.
Experience with IC architectural definition.
Experience leading multi-designer IC designs, e.g., “Chip Lead” role.
Experience with technical mentoring of design team members.
Solid understanding of the underlying devices and their parasitics, enabling creative design to push circuit limits.
Working knowledge of various circuit topologies including amplifier, mixer, and filter circuits.
Knowledge of efficient techniques for design, simulation, and layout of integrated circuits.
Experience with schematic capture, simulation and layout tools.
Experience in system level analysis.
Ability to perform hands-on measurements using state-of-the-art test and measurement equipment and techniques.
Ability to troubleshoot, “dig deep” , and drive to root cause on difficult problems.
Excellent interpersonal, problem solving, and communication skills to work in dynamic environment as part of multiple teams working on multiple projects.
Demonstrated ability to work well in a team environment and experience in a design team, including the ability to communicate well, and collaborate cross-functionally with a team-oriented mindset.
Must be highly self-motivated to accomplish all the tasks required to meet aggressive product development schedules and world class manufacturing expectations.
Demonstrated ability to document and effectively present results.
