Overview
This role involves characterizing MMICs and RFICs in the micro- and millimeter wave range (>100 GHz). You'll perform on-wafer measurements using wafer probers, set up and optimize RF measuring stations, and conduct S-parameter, power and linearity measurements. The position requires applying calibration and de-embedding procedures, analyzing measurement results, and automating measurement sequences using Python or MATLAB. You'll work in a high-end RF laboratory environment with significant hands-on laboratory work, collaborating with design and test teams.
Description
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.
