Strong understanding of linear algebra, including least-squares methods, regularization techniques (Ridge/Tikhonov), and condition numbers.
Proficiency with Python and MATLAB, as well as at least one compiled programming language (C# or C++).
Completion of, or demonstrated proficiency in, Signals and Systems.
Completion of, or demonstrated proficiency in, Digital Signal Processing (DSP).
Foundational knowledge of FFTs, filtering, and time- and frequency-domain analysis.
Willingness to work at the Keysight Colorado Springs, CO site.

Nice To Haves

Strong interest in high-speed signals and signal integrity.
Prior project experience involving signal processing.
Prior project experience involving measurement or laboratory-based research.
Exposure to wired PHY-layer technologies (e.g., Automotive Ethernet, 1000BASE-T, PCIe).
Exposure to the Keysight Infiniium framework or oscilloscope automation.
Exposure to Wireshark or Scapy.
Experience interpreting IEEE standards.

Responsibilities

Contribute to a Signal Separation Project focused on Automotive Ethernet Full Duplex Standards.
Work with real-time oscilloscope waveform data, high-bandwidth voltage probes, current probes, and test fixtures.
Understand automotive communication standards from technical specifications.
Validate performance using the oscilloscope's protocol decoder, rather than relying solely on eye-diagram metrics.
Design controlled experiments and document negative as well as positive results.
Maintain comprehensive documentation throughout the project, including justification for all selected constants and parameters.
