The candidate will be expected to contribute to a Signal Separation Project focused on Automotive Ethernet Full Duplex Standards. Accordingly, the following qualifications and interests are highly desirable for this project:

• Strong interest in high-speed signals and signal integrity.

• Willingness to work with:

• Real-time oscilloscope waveform data

• High-bandwidth voltage probes

• Current probes

• Test fixtures

• Ability to:

• Understand automotive communication standards from technical specifications.

• Validate performance using the oscilloscope's protocol decoder, rather than relying solely on eye-diagram metrics.

• Design controlled experiments and document negative as well as positive results.

• Maintain comprehensive documentation throughout the project, including justification for all selected constants and parameters.

• Prior project experience involving:

• Signal processing

• Measurement or laboratory-based research

Required Qualifications

• Electrical Engineering major (Senior undergraduate, Master's, or PhD student preferred).

• Strong understanding of:

• Digital Communications, or equivalent knowledge of PAM signaling, scramblers, equalization (FFE/DFE), timing recovery, and eye-diagram analysis.

• Linear algebra, including least-squares methods, regularization techniques (Ridge/Tikhonov), and condition numbers.

• Proficiency with:

• Python and MATLAB, as well as at least one compiled programming language (C# or C++), as the next phase of the project involves porting the prototype to C#.

• Completion of, or demonstrated proficiency in:

• Signals and Systems

• Digital Signal Processing (DSP)

• Foundational knowledge of:

• FFTs, filtering, and time- and frequency-domain analysis.

• Willingness to work at the Keysight Colorado Springs, CO site.

• Exposure to wired PHY-layer technologies (e.g., Automotive Ethernet, 1000BASE-T, PCIe), the Keysight Infiniium framework or oscilloscope automation, Wireshark or Scapy, and experience interpreting IEEE standards will be considered an advantage.

CO pay range - Min $38.09 to Max $41.02

The level of role will be based on applicable experience, education and skills; most offers will be between the minimum and midpoint of the salary range.
