Job description

Overview

Keysight is at the forefront of technology innovation, delivering breakthroughs and trusted insights in electronic design, simulation, prototyping, test, manufacturing, and optimization. Our ~16,800 employees create world-class solutions in communications, 5G, automotive, energy, quantum, aerospace, defense, and semiconductor markets for customers in over 100 countries. Learn more about what we do.

Our award-winning culture embraces a bold vision of where technology can take us and a passion for tackling challenging problems with industry-first solutions. We believe that when people feel a sense of belonging, they can be more creative, innovative, and thrive at all points in their careers.

Responsibilities

The candidate will be expected to contribute to a Signal Separation Project focused on Automotive Ethernet Full Duplex Standards. Accordingly, the following qualifications and interests are highly desirable for this project:

• Strong interest in high-speed signals and signal integrity.


• Willingness to work with:
  
  
  
  • Real-time oscilloscope waveform data
  
  
  • High-bandwidth voltage probes
  
  
  • Current probes
  
  
  • Test fixtures
  
  
  
  


• Ability to:
  
  
  
  • 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.
  
  
  
  


• Prior project experience involving:
  
  
  
  • Signal processing
  
  
  • Measurement or laboratory-based research
  
  
  
  

Qualifications

Required Qualifications

• Electrical Engineering major (Senior undergraduate, Master's, or PhD student preferred).


• Strong understanding of:
  
  
  
  • Digital Communications, or equivalent knowledge of PAM signaling, scramblers, equalization (FFE/DFE), timing recovery, and eye-diagram analysis.
  
  
  • 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++), as the next phase of the project involves porting the prototype to C#.
  
  
  
  


• Completion of, or demonstrated proficiency in:
  
  
  
  • Signals and Systems
  
  
  • 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.


• Exposure to wired PHY-layer technologies (e.g., Automotive Ethernet, 1000BASE-T, PCIe), the Keysight Infiniium framework or oscilloscope automation, Wireshark or Scapy, and experience interpreting IEEE standards will be considered an advantage.

CO pay range - Min $38.09 to Max $41.02

The level of role will be based on applicable experience, education and skills; most offers will be between the minimum and midpoint of the salary range.

Relocation is available for this position.

Visa Sponsorship is not available for this position.
