The Role
Characterize MMICs and RFICs above 100 GHz through on-wafer measurements, RF test-station operation, S-parameter and power testing, calibration, de-embedding, and automated analysis. Interpret results, provide design feedback, support silicon bring-up and validation, and coordinate with design teams and external partners. The role involves substantial laboratory work in a high-end RF environment.

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
Skills:
-------
* 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
Benefits:
---------
* Collegial and friendly working atmosphere
* Flexible working hours
* 30 days vacation and flexible holiday planning
* Regular team events
* Award as Kununu TOP Company
* Corporate Benefits
* Free beverages
* Individual further education
* 360° Support: feedback meetings, career planning, relocation support, etc.
* EGYM Wellpass Option
