Responsibilities

As an IC Test Engineering Summer Intern within the Keysight Labs/MMICs & Subsystems Organization at Keysight Technologies, you will contribute to the development, characterization, and validation of advanced monolithic millimeter-wave integrated circuits (MMICs), RF integrated circuits, and subsystems that enable next-generation electronic measurement solutions. Working alongside experienced IC test engineers, you will gain hands-on experience with state-of-the-art RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave measurement technologies.

Key responsibilities include:

• Develop and execute RF, microwave, millimeter-wave, and DC characterization tests for MMICs, RFICs, and advanced semiconductor devices.
• Support design validation activities for leading-edge integrated circuits and subsystem technologies developed within Keysight Laboratories.
• Develop software tools, scripts, and automated test solutions to improve measurement efficiency, test coverage, and data quality.
• Analyze measurement data and prepare technical reports and presentations summarizing findings and recommendations.
• Collaborate with IC test engineers to define test requirements and verify circuit performance against design specifications.
• Troubleshoot measurement setups, instrumentation, test software, and hardware-related issues.
• Contribute to improvements in test methodologies, automation frameworks, and laboratory processes.
• Document test procedures, calibration methods, and engineering best practices.
• Present project results and technical conclusions to engineering teams at the completion of the internship.
