Job description

Overview

Keysight Technologies is the world's leading electronic test and measurement company, helping scientists and engineers address their toughest technical challenges with confidence. Our employees leverage their insight and passion to deliver measurement solutions in wireless communications, aerospace and defense, and semiconductor markets with world-class instruments, software, and measurement science.

As part of Keysight the Network Applications and Security group (NAS) provides testing, visibility, and security solutions, strengthening applications across physical and virtual networks for enterprises and governments, service providers and network equipment manufacturers (NEMs).

You will join a highly talented and motivated team of hardware and software engineers creating a state-of-the-art wireline Ethernet test system. Based on the very latest generation of FPGAs and multi-core CPUs test instruments must stay ahead of mainstream offerings to test equipment and networks before deployment. Driven by the ever-increasing bandwidth demands from hyperscale data centers and carrier networks test equipment must constantly support the highest speeds well before they are commercially available. You have the opportunity to contribute to new and emerging technologies as well as advancing the functionality of existing technologies while working with line speeds up to 1.6Tb and beyond.

NAS is looking for an experienced FPGA designer to work on the wireline Ethernet test products. We work on cutting-edge technologies and standards with FPGA logic running at 600+ MHz and line speeds of 1.6Tb+.

Responsibilities

• Understanding business and technical needs in order to design, develop, and implement new features and platforms
• Creating and developing innovative new products and features
• Technical leadership of FPGA designs
• Providing guidance to junior engineers
• Pro-active participation in project kick-off, reviews, status reports, and bringing issues forward with proposed solutions
• Driving continuous process and code base improvements

Qualifications

• B.Sc or M.Sc in EE or CE from an accredited university
• 8+ years experience in the FPGA industry
• Candidates with more/less experience will be considered for junior / senior roles

• Strong analytical skills. Excellent written, verbal, presentation communication skills. Must be able to read and interpret complex information.
• Able to cultivate interpersonal relationships and cohesive team interactions and communications.
• Assertive self-starter with excellent organizational skills. Exhibit a positive, can-do approach and inspire associates to excel and develop a team spirit
• Knowledge or experience in the following areas
• Knowledge of Ethernet technologies from 1G to 1.6Tb+Experience with SerDes up to 224Gbps, memory technologies such as DDR5, RLDRAM3, interconnect protocols such as PCIe and Interlaken
• Strong understanding of data networks, networking protocols, switch/ router operation, and protocol stack implementations is desirable
• Must have strong VHDL programming skills and understanding of SystemVerilog
• Understanding of hardware, firmware, and software/hardware interactions is highly desired
• Understanding of interpreted languages such at Tcl, Perl and Python is a plus
