Job Description

Keysight is the world's leading electronic measurement company, helping scientists and engineers address their toughest technical challenges with confidence through innovations in hardware and software. Our employees leverage their insight and passion to deliver measurement solutions in wireless communications, aerospace and defense, and semiconductor markets with world-class platforms, software, and measurement science.

Santa Rosa, in the heart of California's beautiful wine country, is the location of Keysight headquarters. At our headquarters, you'll be part of a team that designs, develops, and tests new products. To create a complete solution for our customers, your project team will include engineers from diverse areas of expertise: electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, software engineers, process engineers and manufacturing engineers. You will also work with our planning and marketing departments to transform your designs into final products.

In this position, you will be designing high-frequency electronic circuits. You will work with simulation tools and design tools to implement your ideas. Some designs will operate at high frequencies with high bandwidth. Some designs will be optimized for low power consumption or low cost. As the leader in measurement, all our designs push the state of the art to make the best possible products for our customers.

Your primary job responsibilities will include developing, designing, measuring, and troubleshooting analog, RF, microwave, and millimeter wave electronics. You will design subassemblies for Keysight products and specify the components that make up the products. Your designs may include power and control circuits, amplifiers, filters, ALC loops, phase lock loops, microwave components, millimeter wave components, and nonlinear systems. You will assist in instrument architecture decisions with senior engineers, select vendors and components, and troubleshoot and fix problems. You will work in cooperation with other functional areas such as marketing and manufacturing. Accomplishing your design goals will require the use of simulation, schematic capture, and layout tools. You will be required to document your designs including the design goals, the core concepts of the design, the theory of operation, the details of the design, and troubleshooting techniques. You will facilitate the transition of the design to full production and delivery. You will solve design problems found in prototypes, pilot units, and production units.

If you're up to the challenge, come join our high caliber team.
