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.
