Responsibilities
Designs Keysight products and specifies the components that make up the products. Designs and develops products, components, processes, and systems using broad engineering concepts and research techniques. Documents research and design specifications. Solves complex and high impact design and development problems including customer application issue of varying scope and complexity. Uses product and customer applications knowledge to determine, define, develop and validate design concepts and methods. May facilitate transition of product design and enhancements to full production/delivery. May lead product definition/system design for complex features or coordinate a small group in feature development and integration.
- Involved in the definition and design of new product functional requirements, scope and specifications to meet performance, cost and schedule objectives.
- Understands schematics and key circuit parameters to identify and choose suitable components, while running power budgeting and electronic simulations to validate the design scope.
- Creates test plans to ensure design are tested thoroughly to meet defined specification.
- Performs R&D investigation, turn on, troubleshooting, characterization and validation tasks.
- Works and collaborates with different competency groups such as mechanical and firmware team to meet project goals.
- Works closely with PCB layout designer to ensure physical implementation of PCB meets performance and regulatory requirements.
- Constantly searches for innovation of new methods/technologies/solutions to elevate design competency for test & measurement products.
Qualifications
Bachelor/Master/PhD Degree in Electrical/Electronic/Computer Engineering or relevant field with min 5 years related working experience.
Requires general proficiency with tools, systems and procedures to accomplish job. Has experience using test instrumentation such as oscilloscopes, DMMs, power supplies and debugging tools for problem resolution and design verification.
Familiarity with high speed digital design and signal/power integrity concepts as well as scripting or test automation methods.
Experience supporting product regulatory requirements such as EMC and Safety testing.
Experience or familiarity with the following would be a plus:
- Software Languages (C++, C#).
- FPGA design and RTL design languages.
- High Speed PCB Layout design.
- Digital and Processor architecture.
