Application areas include high-speed interconnects and SerDes, PCIe and CXL, Ethernet and optical links, memory interfaces, and other technologies that increase the performance, bandwidth, power efficiency, and scalability of AI systems.
Customers include leading semiconductor, compute, data-center, wireless, and communications companies, as well as universities, medium-sized companies, and start-ups developing technologies for next-generation AI infrastructure.
Responsibilities
The position requires international collaboration with colleagues worldwide, our factories, and the broader Keysight AI ecosystem. You will serve as a technical interface between customers and Keysight product development, translating emerging AI infrastructure requirements into effective test strategies and helping shape solutions for rapidly evolving standards and architectures.
- Typical customer requirements are solutions for a wide range of signal analysis and electronic component test applications always in front of future state-of-the-art technologies.
- The customers are major accounts in the Wireless and Communication Industry as well as Universities and Geographic mid-size and start-up companies. The position is located in the Keysight Technologies office Madrid or Barcelona in Spain.
- The position requires international cooperation with colleagues world-wide and our factories. You are the technical interface between the customers and Keysight product development.
A comprehensive technical training program, complemented by the development of the specialist skills required in the sales and service environment, will enable you to start your new position effectively.
- Customer visits require frequent travel (> 50% of work time).
Qualifications
The position requires a University Degree in electrical / communications engineering, physics, computer engineering, or an equivalent course of study and a minimum of 3 years’ professional experience in digital and/or photonic test and measurement applications. Experience with technologies used in AI compute, data-center, semiconductor, or high-performance networking environments is an advantage.
The following job-related skills are required
Comprehensive knowledge of Digital and Photonics test fundamentals in theory and practical measurement applications
Practical experience using Oscilloscopes, Bit Error Rate Testers, Protocol Analyzers, optical instruments and other state-of-the art measurement instrumentation
Strong personal interest in the AI sector and curiosity about the technologies accelerating AI innovation, including GPUs and AI accelerators, high-speed interconnects, data-center networking, memory technologies, and optical connectivity
Knowledge of High-Speed Digital PHY standards and interfaces relevant to AI infrastructure, such as PCIe, CXL, DDR, high-speed Ethernet, and OIF CEI, including an understanding of SerDes validation and signal-integrity challenges
Ability to connect high-speed digital and photonic measurement challenges with AI system performance, scalability, reliability, and energy efficiency, and to communicate this value clearly to technical and business stakeholders
Practical experience in the development and setup of test systems
Programming skills applied in a T&M environment such as Python, Matlab, and C/C++/C#
Understanding of I/O connectivity and instrument drivers
Business proficiency in Englishis required , Dutch is nice to have
The complexity of the business environment and the fast-growing AI market demands strong international teamwork with other Keysight organizations, a proactive learning mindset, and the flexibility to adopt emerging AI-related technologies, standards, and use cases quickly.
A strong proactive customer focus and professional presentation experience is required. The delivery of customer training and seminars requires excellent teaching skills.
It is important that you like to communicate and work together with other people in a team.
