R&D Engineer 1
Keysight Technologies SAles Spain SL., Santa Rosa, CA, United States
Overview
Keysight is at the forefront of technology innovation, delivering breakthroughs and trusted insights in electronic design, simulation, prototyping, test, manufacturing, and optimization. Our ~15,000 employees create world‑class solutions in communications, 5G, automotive, energy, quantum, aerospace, defense, and semiconductor markets for customers in over 100 countries.
Our award‑winning culture embraces a bold vision of where technology can take us and a passion for tackling challenging problems with industry‑first solutions. We believe that when people feel a sense of belonging, they can be more creative, innovative, and thrive at all points in their careers.
As part of the
High Frequency Measurement Center of Excellence (COE)
organization, you will work with engineers across the globe to develop industry‑leading
network analyzer platforms
that enable precise RF, microwave, and millimeter‑wave measurements.
You will be a member of a multidisciplinary R&D team responsible for the
FPGA, digital, and mixed‑signal subsystems
used in Keysight’s network analyzers. In this role, you will contribute to the design, implementation, and validation of
FPGA‑based signal processing, control, and data‑movement architectures
that are tightly integrated with high‑performance analog and RF hardware.
This position offers hands‑on experience with real products, exposure to full product development cycles, and close collaboration with hardware, firmware, and system architects. Keysight’s network analyzer products are market leaders used in aerospace, defense, wireless communications, semiconductor, and research applications worldwide.
Responsibilities
Contribute to the
design and development of FPGA‑based and digital hardware subsystems
for network analyzers.
Implement and maintain
FPGA logic (RTL)
for high‑speed data acquisition, signal processing, control, and instrumentation functions.
Support
digital interfaces and data paths , such as ADC/DAC interfaces, high‑speed serial links, PCIe, memory, and control buses.
Work closely with analog/RF, system, and firmware engineers to
define digital architectures and interfaces .
Develop and execute
FPGA simulation, verification, and hardware bring‑up
plans.
Support
hardware debugging and validation
using lab equipment such as logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and network analyzers.
Participate in
design reviews , architecture discussions, and cross‑site project meetings.
Document FPGA designs, interfaces, and test results in accordance with Keysight development processes.
Learn and apply Keysight quality, configuration management, and product lifecycle practices.
Required Skills and Experience
BS degree (or greater)
in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field (new or recent graduates encouraged to apply).
Academic or project experience with
FPGA or digital hardware design .
Understanding of:
Digital logic and RTL design (Verilog, SystemVerilog, or VHDL)
Clocking, resets, timing constraints, and synchronization
Familiarity with
FPGA development tools
(e.g., Vivado, Quartus, or equivalent).
Ability to work effectively in a
collaborative, global R&D environment .
Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and communication skills.
Preferred Skills and Experience
Experience with
high‑speed data converters (ADC/DAC)
and their digital interfaces.
Exposure to
DSP concepts
implemented in FPGA (e.g., filtering, decimation, FFT, calibration support).
Familiarity with
high‑speed digital interfaces
(PCIe, JESD204, Ethernet, LVDS, or similar).
Basic understanding of
signal integrity and hardware timing considerations .
Internship or co‑op experience in FPGA, digital, or hardware engineering.
California Pay Range:
USD $76,870.00-$128,120.00 Annually
Keysight is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
