Skills: PythonAnalog/Mixed-Signal System Test Engineer (NCG) Job Description As an Analog/Mixed-Signal System Test Engineer, you will join a key team developing sophisticated advanced-node CMOS products. You will help validate circuits such as PLLs, DLLs, ADCs, regulators, amplifiers, transmitters, receivers, and CDRs for electrical and optical interconnects against performance targets. This role is designed for a highly motivated early-career engineer who can apply strong analog and mixed-signal fundamentals to lab bring-up, characterization, automation, data analysis, and debugging. You will work independently on defined technical problems while collaborating closely with experienced designers, validation engineers, and cross-functional partners. Basic Qualifications Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field, completed or expected by the start date. Master’s or PhD training in Electrical Engineering is preferred. Strong fundamentals in transistor-level analog design, feedback and stability analysis, and noise and jitter analysis. Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and documentation skills. Desired Experience Hands-on experience through research, projects, internships, or coursework designing or validating high-speed mixed-signal circuits, including ADC/DAC data converters, RX front ends, TX drivers or serializers, low-jitter PLLs, TX/RX calibration, low-jitter clock distribution, or other high-speed analog circuits. Experience with lab chip bring-up, automation, data collection, data analysis, and debugging. Experience using lab equipment such as UXR oscilloscopes, DCA instruments, VNAs, PNAs, BERTs, or comparable measurement equipment. Strong programming or scripting ability in Python, MATLAB, C, or comparable languages. Design and tapeout experience in advanced CMOS nodes, such as 20 nm or newer, is a plus. Knowledge of optical transceivers, TIA design, and optical application drivers is highly desirable. Experience with…Sign in to see the original postingBrowse more developer jobs on RoleBurst
