Descripción de la vacante

Keysight Technologies in California is seeking a highly skilled R&D Engineer to advance RFIC, analog and microwave layout and automation. You will develop parameterized layouts, layout generation, and Python-based tooling to enable design-space exploration.

Collaborate with RFIC designers and software teams to deliver production-quality automation, apply ML techniques for optimization, and integrate with circuit/EM simulations.

Formación

• MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, EDA/CAD, or a related discipline.
• Strong hands-on experience in RFIC, analog, microwave, or mixed-signal layout and design.
• Experience with RFIC passive and active components such as inductors, transformers, transmission lines, filters, matching networks, mixers, and power amplifiers.
• Deep hands-on experience in parameterized layout generation and PCell development, including automated generation of design-rule-compliant layouts from circuit and design parameters.
• Strong understanding of semiconductor layout methodologies, design rules, physical verification, parasitics, and EM-aware design practices.
• Strong programming experience in Python; C++ experience is a plus.
• Experience with circuit and/or EM simulation, design optimization, and semiconductor design automation tools.
• Strong problem-solving and software development skills with the ability to translate complex design workflows into scalable automation solutions.

Responsabilidades

• Develop RFIC, analog, and microwave layouts, including parameterized and reusable layout structures.
• Develop automated parameterized layout generation capabilities that translate circuit and design parameters into design-rule-compliant physical layouts.
• Design and implement layout automation including geometry generation, placement, routing, symmetry, design-rule constraints, and EM-aware design.
• Integrate layout generation with circuit and EM simulation to support parameter exploration, design-space analysis, and optimization.
• Develop Python-based tools and scalable software for automated layout and design workflows.
• Apply optimization and machine learning techniques, including surrogate modeling and Bayesian optimization, to accelerate design exploration and convergence.
• Collaborate with RFIC designers and software engineers to deliver production-quality design automation capabilities.
