Senior RF MMIC Test Engineer

Key responsibilities

• On-wafer testing of GaN MMICs, including HPAs, switches, multi-function chips, and others as they may arise.
• Independently configure, calibrate and verify test setups to ensure accurate, repeatable measurements.
• Support designers with probe and test material design and procurement to facilitate testing.
• Work closely with the design team and operations to ensure a quick flow through testing and facilitate rapid delivery of tested circuits.
• Develop and debug test software when necessary to support new and unique test requests, new equipment, and improved data analysis, visualization and processing within the test lab.
• Occasionally perform package level testing as required.

Required qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field.
• 5+ years of hands-on experience in test and evaluation of RF, microwave, and millimeter wave MMICs, both at on-wafer and package level.
• Familiarity with PNAx or similar vector network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, noise figure analyzers, power meters, bias supplies and other RF test equipment.
• Proficient in the setup, configuration, calibration, and performance of RF MMIC tests, including S-parameters, power, efficiency, linearity, stability, and noise figure.
• Broad exposure to various RF technology and circuit types.
• A strong emphasis on high power, high frequency circuits using GaN technology is preferred.
• Ability to understand, write and debug test software.
• Should be familiar with C# and python preferred.
• Should be familiar with GitLab and common best practices for software development.
• Ability to recognize and debug issues with test setups and identify root cause of test issues.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills to work both within the team and across operations, product design, and marketing stakeholders.
