Development Engineer (m/f/x) MMIC Characterization

Project description:

Are you enthusiastic about technology? We are too! To strengthen our team of experts at our customer in the radio and communications industry, we are looking for a Development Engineer (m/f/x) MMIC Characterization in a permanent position at K-tronik. We look forward to getting to know you personally - and to working together with passion and team spirit on exciting projects and future-oriented technologies.

Tasks:

• Characterization of MMICs and RFICs in the micro- and millimeter wave range (>100 GHz)
• Carrying out on-wafer measurements using wafer probers (e.g. MPI)
• Setup, operation and optimization of RF measuring stations (VNA incl. extender, probe stations, load-pull / noise if necessary)
• Carrying out and evaluating S-parameter, power and linearity measurements (e.g. IP3, P1dB)
• Application of calibration and de-embedding procedures (TRL, SOLT, LRM)
• Analysis and interpretation of measurement results and derivation of design feedback
• Automation of measurement sequences and data evaluation (Python, MATLAB)
• Support with silicon bring-up and validation of new designs

• Coordination with internal teams (design, test) and external partners if necessary

Skills:

• Degree in electrical engineering, RF technology, microelectronics or physics or comparable training
• Several years of experience (approx. 5-8 years) in the characterization of MMICs / RFICs
• Sound knowledge of RF and millimeter wave measurement technology (>100 GHz)
• Practical experience with wafer probers and on-wafer measurements
• Confident handling of VNA measurements incl. extenders
• Experience with calibration and de-embedding techniques
• Experience in measurement automation (Python and/or MATLAB)
• Independent, structured way of working
• Requirements (Nice-to-Have)
• Experience with load-pull, noise measurements or power amplifier characterization
• Knowledge of III-V technologies (GaAs, GaN, InP)
• Experience in dealing with test houses
• General conditions
• Work in a high-end RF laboratory environment with a focus on MMIC characterization
• High proportion of practical laboratory work (not just an office job)
• Collaboration in an experienced development environment

• Quick familiarization required

Benefits:

• Collegial and friendly working atmosphere
• Flexible working hours
• 30 days vacation and flexible holiday planning
• Regular team events
• Award as Kununu TOP Company
• Corporate Benefits
