Job Summary
In this role, you will design and validate high-performance mmWave integrated circuits, conduct layout and EM simulations, and work on improving high-frequency components and IC architectures.
Your role in the team
- As an MMIC Design Engineer, you will design, develop, and validate millimeter-wave integrated circuits for future Keysight instrumentation platforms.
- You will work across the full development cycle - from specification definition and schematic design to layout, verification, and lab characterization - ensuring best-in-class RF performance in advanced semiconductor technologies.
- This is a hands-on role requiring strong technical ownership, collaboration across disciplines, and a passion for solving complex high-frequency design challenges.
- Design and validate millimeter-wave ICs (30 GHz up to and beyond 100 GHz).
- Develop high-performance RF blocks such as amplifiers, mixers, multipliers, or similar circuits.
- Translate system-level requirements into optimized IC architectures.
- Perform schematic design, layout supervision, EM verification, and design sign-off.
- Work with internal semiconductor technologies and external global foundries.
- Evaluate trade-offs between performance, manufacturability, and reliability.
- Support process matching and performance optimization.
- Execute on-wafer and packaged measurements.
- Perform RF characterization, wafer probing, and calibration.
- Analyze measurement data and correlate with simulation results.
- Interface with system, packaging, modeling, and test teams.
- Document results and present findings to internal stakeholders.
- Contribute to innovation and continuous improvement initiatives.
