# ASIC Characterization Engineer, Silicon

We are looking for a hands-on ASIC Bench Characterization Engineer to support high-volume production of millimeter wave RF Digital Beamforming (DBF) and RF front-end ASICs used in customer terminals and satellite payloads. This is a role centered on bench-level RF characterization, with ATE correlation as a core part of the work. You will own and maintain the debug benches, characterize silicon across voltage, temperature and frequency, and use that data to resolve RMA and production issues that cannot be root-caused on a production tester. You will work closely with Product and Test Engineering, Design engineering, and OSAT partners to protect product quality, shorten RMA closure time, and qualify material and process changes. Key job responsibilities Bench Validation & RMA Debug Set up and operate RF test bench equipment including signal generators, spectrum analyzers, vector network analyzers (VNA), oscilloscopes, and power meters. Own bench bring-up, instrument calibration schedules and measurement repeatability for the sustaining lab. Perform bench-level RF characterization e.g TX/RX gain, noise figure, EVM, IMRR, etc Correlate ATE measurements against bench data to determine
