Title: Senior Test Engineer

Job Description:

• Provide test engineering support to a MMIC design team.

• RF bench calibration and bench setup for characterization of RF devices.

• IR testing for junction temperature under bias.

• Run RF / DC test software to capture product characterization data. Tests include S-parameters, P1dB, IM3,and other RF parameters related to MMIC characterization.

• Facilitate new product turn-on, design verification testing (we refer to thisas ETRR testing), testing across temperature (cold, room temp, hot). Stabilitytesting and VSWR testing. Stress testing to evaluate device or productlimitations.

• Some SMT assembly of product sample boards - attach DUT(s), surface mountcomponents, and connectors.

• Troubleshooting and debug of sample board issues and device issues.

• Troubleshooting and characterization of RF device (such as oscillations).

• Plot test result data (in, for example, Excel or jmp), generate reportssummarizing the performance of a new part turn on and ETRR testingresults. Hold ETRR review gate review as needed.

• Create graphs for data sheets from the ETRR test data.

• Support of loose piece sample testing (e.g. for customer samples or tosupport product qualification).

• Coordinate with and support multiple teams - primarily MMIC design but alsotest activities. supporting Product Engineering to release products andApplications Engineering to support sample board creation, test, and datasummarization of already released products.

Job Qualifications:

• Bachelor's Degree in Electrical or Electronics Engineering or related fieldand a minimum of 4 years of test engineering in semiconductor test labs, designsupport functions, RF characterization roles, or RF design role that includestest and characterization.

• Experience with RF testing of power amplifier devices via manual and softwaredriven test plans.

• Ability to read and understand board schematic, layout drawing, and BOM forpurpose of assembling, evaluating, or troubleshooting sample boards, RF devices,or RF test equipment or setups.

• Quick to raise issues and seek support, strong team relational skills, strongwritten and verbal communication skills, team player, fast learner, organized,methodical in approach to problem solving, team support-role inclined, taskoriented and detail oriented.

Desired Experience: - Experience with RF testing 1-40 GHz, RF power exceeding 5W.

- Experience with DC testing of RF devices.

- Experience with GaN HEMT technology preferred.

- Experience with Power Amplifier testing and characterization, pulsed and CW.

- Experience with other RF building block components, such as RF switch and LNA.

- Experience with RF bench equipment - spectrum analyzer, power supply, networkanalyzer, PNAX, E-Cal, oscilloscope, current and voltage meters, RF powermeters, couplers, circulators, 50ohm loads, slide tuners, RF cables, RFconnectors.

- Experience with SMT assembly and re-work of QFN, attaching PCBs tobaseplates, attaching small chip components (such as 0603, 0402, and 0201) andRF connectors to sample boards (PCB).

- Fluency in RF terminology such as dBs, Smith chart, return loss, gain,isolation, compression, P1dB, ripple, power, efficiency, gate current, draincurrent, HEMT, LNA, PA, pulse width, duty cycle, harmonics, spurs, noise floor,noise figure, GaN, solder, flux, silicon carbide, GaAs, TOI, bias, quiescentcurrent, breakdown voltage, junction temperature, modulation scheme, bandwidth,low-frequency termination, bond wire, overmold, QFN, ceramic package, aircavity, instantaneous bandwidth, device linearity, and switching speed.
