MMIC Design Engineer
About The Position
The MMIC Design Engineer will join Keysight’s Technology Organization and help develop high-frequency components for the company’s next-generation instruments. Working as part of a collaborative engineering team, the engineer will design, lay out, and validate high-performance millimeter-wave integrated circuits. The role involves working with internal customers to define performance parameters, matching requirements to advanced semiconductor processes, and executing, characterizing, and documenting designs. The engineer will use industry-leading design tools and work with a measurement laboratory, device models, and experienced engineering colleagues.
Requirements
- M.S. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field, with thesis work and/or relevant industry experience in mm-wave IC design.
- At least 2 years of experience working on mm-wave IC design in advanced semiconductor technologies; relevant M.S. or Ph.D. work may count.
- Experience completing at least one cycle of transistor- or diode-level design, physical layout, verification (DRC, LVS), and measurement validation.
- Experience with multiple types of mm-wave frequency circuits, such as mixers, amplifiers, multipliers, or filters operating above 30 GHz.
- Ability to work effectively in a team environment and document and present results.
- Understanding of devices and their parasitics, and the ability to use that understanding to design around process limitations.
- Understanding of current state-of-the-art technologies and how circuit design and process capabilities can inform key specifications.
- Strong interpersonal, problem-solving, time-management, and communication skills.
- Motivation to complete tasks in support of aggressive product development schedules and manufacturing expectations.
