- Design low-noise power delivery networks using LDO regulators appropriate for sensitive analog and RF measurement environments
- Characterize high-speed ADC and DAC devices including SNDR, SFDR, THD, and dynamic range measurements
- Measure and interpret S-parameters to validate board signal integrity and RF performance across the full frequency range
- Integrate FPGA or microcontroller subsystems on test boards to enable automated stimulus, data capture, and instrument control
- Develop and maintain test automation scripts to streamline characterization workflows and regression testing
- Work closely with analog and digital IC design engineers to define test requirements for each new silicon bring-up
- Document board designs, test procedures, and characterization results clearly and thoroughly.

Required
- B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering or related field
- 5+ years of hands-on PCB design and hardware bring-up experience
- Demonstrated experience characterizing high-speed ADC or DAC devices
- Strong working knowledge of S-parameters and VNA measurement techniques
- RF PCB design experience including controlled impedance, grounding, shielding, and high-frequency connector and launch design
- Experience with low-noise LDO selection and power supply layout best practices for analog/RF environments
- Proficiency with schematic capture and PCB layout EDA tools of your choosing
- Hands-on proficiency with bench equipment: VNAs, spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, and signal generators
- Experience with JESD204B high-speed serial interface in an ADC/DAC evaluation context
Desirable
- FPGA development experience — RTL design, embedded firmware, or board-level integration
- Python scripting for test automation, instrument control (VISA/PyVISA), and data analysis
- Prior experience designing or characterizing boards at mmWave frequencies (above 30 GHz)
- Familiarity with JESD204C or other emerging high-speed converter interface standards
- Experience in a fabless semiconductor or IC design environment
