With a proven track record of exceeding 50% year-over-year growth, we are at an inflection point, poised to significantly expand our market share and solidify our position as a technology leader.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own test board development end-to-end: schematic capture, PCB layout review, BOM, bring-up, and debug
• Design RF signal paths with careful attention to impedance matching, microstrip/stripline routing, connector selection, and launch structures for operation up to 64 GHz
• Design low-noise power delivery networks using LDO regulators appropriate for sensitive analog and RF measurement environments
• Characterize high-speed ADC and DAC devices including SNDR, SFDR, THD, and dynamic range measurements
• Measure and interpret S-parameters to validate board signal integrity and RF performance across the full frequency range
• Integrate FPGA or microcontroller subsystems on test boards to enable automated stimulus, data capture, and instrument control
• Develop and maintain test automation scripts to streamline characterization workflows and regression testing
• Work closely with analog and digital IC design engineers to define test requirements for each new silicon bring-up
• Document board designs, test procedures, and characterization results clearly and thoroughly.
