KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Own test board development end-to-end: schematic capture, PCB layout review, BOM, bring-up, and debug
Design RF signal paths with careful attention to impedance matching, microstrip/stripline routing, connector selection, and launch structures for operation up to 64 GHz
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.
