About the Job

Requirements

  • A degree in engineering and three years of experience, or a doctorate in electronics, microelectronics, RF device physics, or an equivalent field.
  • Experience with electronics and RF/microwave measurement techniques, including transmission lines, impedance matching, S-parameters, de-embedding, noise, linearity, and power, as well as DC characterization including I/V, C/V, reliability tests, cycling, and burn-in.
  • Knowledge of microwave passive-component architectures and technologies, their electrical models, and associated physical phenomena.
  • Knowledge of MEMS switches.
  • Experience with ANSYS HFSS and Keysight ADS simulation tools.
  • English proficiency at C1 level.

Responsibilities

  • Take responsibility for and organize the laboratory's RF/DC characterization activities, including workload planning, prioritization, reporting, and quality indicators; evaluate RF/DC MEMS components and associated RF functions, including S-parameters and power handling.
  • Implement the RF/DC characterization equipment needed to evaluate demonstrator components produced in clean rooms, in compliance with site QHSE rules.
  • Contribute with the team to defining test plans with design and manufacturing engineers; establish suitable setups and optimize RF, DC, and reliability measurement protocols for components developed in the laboratory.
  • Contribute to designing integrated digital and analog circuits to control RF functions and PCBs for demonstrators integrating the developed RF/DC technologies.
  • Ensure test bench validity and the traceability, quality, and reliability of results through metrology, calibration procedures, and laboratory best practices; update operating procedures.
  • Process and analyze measurement data, compare it with models and simulations, and propose design or manufacturing optimizations.
  • Participate in R&T project progress reviews with internal and external partners, including clients, academic laboratories, and industry; write and present characterization results and reports, contribute to collaborative project deliverables and CIR reports.
  • Manage and develop the equipment inventory, including VNAs, probe stations, and MEMS RF measurement setups; monitor technology and instrumentation in DC/RF component characterization and propose improvements to methodologies and test benches.
