This position will be based in Santa Rosa, California, nestled in the Sonoma Valley wine country in the greater San Francisco Bay Area. Santa Rosa offers a unique blend of food and culture, convenient access to local outdoor scenery for hiking, bicycling, or a relaxing picnic along the coastline, in the redwood forest, or other local and state parks.
Keysight is the world's leading electronic measurement company, helping scientists and engineers address their toughest technical challenges with confidence through innovations in wireless, modular, and software solutions. Our employees leverage their insight and passion to deliver measurement solutions in wireless communications, aerospace and defense, and semiconductor markets with world-class platforms, software, and consistent measurement science.
This job will be part of the Keysight Technology Organization, which helps Keysight be first to market by focusing on top opportunities and market trends that address unmet needs. As the IC Test Engineering Manager, you will lead a dedicated engineering team of RF/microwave test engineers and RCA engineers who develop on-wafer and packaged-device test methods, screening Keysight's internally designed state-of-the-art MMICs and sub-systems for meeting specs and drive disciplined root-cause analysis for complex RF module, interposer, and component-level failures. You will provide technical direction, engineering prioritization, people leadership, and cross-functional alignment, while partnering closely with operations management, which owns the day-to-day test lab operation including coordination, lab scheduling, equipment utilization, and operational execution.
As a key engineering leader in a diverse hardware development organization, you will guide test strategy for automated small- & medium-volume test of integrated circuits and subsystems designed and partly manufactured in-house. You will also ensure that failure-analysis investigations are well structured, data driven, and completed with clear conclusions, corrective actions, and leadership communication. This combined role connects MMIC test engineering with root-cause learning so that test data, reliability findings, manufacturing feedback, and design insights directly improve product quality, reliability, manufacturability, and future architecture decisions.
Education: B.S., M.S. or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field, with relevant engineering experience in RF/mm-wave IC characterization, test strategy, and supporting reliability engineering, and root-cause analysis.
3+ years of experience in one or more of the following areas:
