This job is focusing on the development of state-of-the-art analog and mixed-signal application
specific integrated circuits (ASICs), and monolithic millimeter-wave integrated circuits (MMICs)
and subsystems that provide Keysight’s test and measurement products with a competitive
advantage in performance and cost.
As an Analog and Mixed-Signal (BiCMOS) ASIC / MMIC Design Engineer -, you will apply your IC
design knowledge and experience to design Analog and Mixed-Signal ASICs and MMICs that
enable Keysight’s next generation of measurement/test equipment. To identify what ICs are
needed in current and future Keysight instruments you will be involved in system-level analysis to
identify the needed IC performance with respect to the overall system requirements.
Ideally this role will involve working with Engineering teams at based in US and Germany
