The candidate will participate in creating automated and manual test plans, perform hands-on device measurements, product characterization and optimization, bench and automation troubleshooting, and bench-to-bench correlation. The candidate will analyze, summarize and present data reviews which will serve as a basis for the product's final datasheet. Responsibilities include running comprehensive characterization testing, RF products testing, providing test data summaries, and driving production readiness of high-performance FEM products. Products include PAs, PAMs, RF switches, RF duplexers typically used in the fast-paced and high-volume cellular market. The candidate will play a critical role in product realization, working closely with Design, Validation, and Test Development teams, conducting datasheet-related testing, data preparation, and presentation in the final stages of product development.
Typical RF measurements include but are not limited to the following:
- GSM/EDGE/WCDMA/TD-SCDMA/TD-LTE/FDD-LTE cellular PA characterizations
- RF Switches characterization: Linearity, Harmonics, and load pull
- RF Duplexers Evaluation
- Digital Predistortion
- PvT, switching transient, multi-slots
- Load pull and source pull
- Stability
- Noise
- S-parameters
- Small signal gain and conversion gain
- Sensitivity analysis and DoE
- MIPI interface programming and validation
- Validation of analog controller
- ESD and ruggedness
- PA with Envelope Tracking is a plus
Job Requirements:
