Your role in the team

  • As a key contributor in a diverse team, you will design, lay out, and validate high-performance millimeter-wave ICs that power Keysight’s next-generation instruments.
  • Responsibilities include working closely with internal customers to understand and define critical performance parameters, matching requirements to advanced semiconductor processes, and executing, characterizing, and documenting the final design.
  • Design of building block MMIC components in internal and external foundries.
  • Implements the full design cycle flow: DRC, LVS, 2.5D/3D EM, thermal analysis, and characterization.
  • Communicates IC performance to internal customers through simulations and design reviews.

Our expectations of you

Qualifications

  • Excellent problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.
  • Demonstrated ability to work well in a team environment, document, and present results.
  • Knowledge in device modeling, thermal design, and IC package design.
  • An understanding of devices and their parasitics, enabling creative design to push process limitations.
  • An understanding of current state-of-the-art technologies and what might be possible by combining circuit design with process capabilities, helping to drive key specifications.

Experience

  • At least 3 years of experience working on mm-wave IC design in advanced semiconductor technologies (can include relevant M.S. or Ph.D. work).
  • Experience must include at least one cycle of transistor/diode-level design, physical layout, verification (DRC, LVS), and measurement validation.
  • Experience with multiple types of mm-wave frequency circuits (mixers, amplifiers, multipliers, filters at > 30GHz).
  • Experience with high power in a single MMIC is a plus (> +30 dBm).
  • Experience in system-level analysis is a plus.
  • Experience in wafer probe calibration and measurements.
  • Knowledge and experience in thin-film and PCB design are a plus.
  • Experience using the following tools or equivalent: ADS, Momentum, EMPro, SystemVue.
