R&D Engineer 1
Keysight Technologies, Santa Rosa, CA, United States
Responsibilities
Contribute to the design and development of FPGA-based and digital hardware subsystems for network analyzers.
Implement and maintain FPGA logic (RTL) for highspeed data acquisition, signal processing, control, and instrumentation functions.
Support digital interfaces and data paths, such as ADC/DAC interfaces, highspeed 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 bringup plans.
Support hardware debugging and validation using lab equipment such as logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and network analyzers.
Participate in design reviews, architecture discussions, and crosssite 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.
Qualifications
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 highspeed data converters (ADC/DAC) and their digital interfaces.
Exposure to DSP concepts implemented in FPGA (e.g., filtering, decimation, FFT, calibration support).
Familiarity with highspeed 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.
