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

Qualifications:

- 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
