R&D Microcircuit Test Engineer, mmWave Prototyping

Keysight Technologies SAles Spain SL.; Santa Rosa (CA); On-site; USD 139,000 - 232,000; Full time

Job summary

Keysight is seeking an experienced R&D engineer to drive new product introduction for mmWave modules, ensuring manufacturability and smooth transition to production. You will prototype, test reliability, and refine test processes in collaboration with R&D and design teams.

The role emphasizes AC/ RF/Microwave testing, DFx practices, and close partnership with global supply chains to optimize yields and throughput in a production environment.

Qualifications

• MSEE with emphasis in RF/Microwave/Analog theory and applications.
• Minimum 10 years of relevant experience for entry to this level.
• Strong knowledge of Analog, RF and Microwave circuits testing.
• Fundamental understanding of Oscilloscope, Network and Spectrum analyzer measurements.
• Excellent written and verbal skills.
• Strong teamwork, interpersonal skills and follow-thru.

Responsibilities

• Participates actively in new product introduction, including influencing the design of the microcircuit to ensure manufacturability and conformance with the global supply chain, enabling prototyping while in the R&D lab, testing the reliability of prototypes and managing the transition into production.
• As the R&D engineer you will be actively involved in new product introduction processes, including insuring manufacturability and conformance with the global supply chain.
• You will prototype, test the reliability and conformance to required specifications, and manage the transition of new designs into production.
• Design, develop, implement and transfer mmWave products and manufacturing test processes into production.
• Work closely with designers to ensure manufacturability and high yields of mmWave module production.
• Develop new test methodologies leveraging current and using latest techniques to reduce measurement uncertainty and increase throughput.
• Insure DFx by working closely with R&D team during all phases of the project.
• Create and document the test system block diagram, the test system and ETs (electronic tools) for mmWave production.
• Evaluate / set production line specs based on statistical data analysis. Correlate and get agreement with T&M partners.
• Document Test Support Documents (TSDs) for all created microcircuit tests
