This specific position is to support a team of MMIC designers based in Böblingen, Germany, designing IC’s in III-V (e.g., InP/GaAs) for leading-edge test and measurement products. Through close collaboration with IC designers and experts in IC technologies and IC design tools, you’ll help create breakthrough components for new Keysight products. The MMIC Design Enablement/Modelling Engineer requires strong tools and CAD/software knowledge to develop methodologies and automation to increase productivity and effectiveness.
Responsibilities
Lead the development and maintenance of design flows, automation scripts, and productivity tools tailored to MMIC design in ADS, with a focus on Python automation.
Drive enablement initiatives, such as template generation and script automation, that improve simulation accuracy, layout efficiency, documentation, and overall design throughput.
Collaborate closely with design engineers to identify challenges and implement scalable solutions.
Work with internal teams to develop, validate and manage Process Design Kits (PDKs), including symbol creation, layout cells, DRC, LVS, model integration, and simulation setup files.
Manage and enhance PDKs, design libraries, and simulation environments from external foundries.
Interface with EDA tool developers to evaluate new features, resolve technical issues, and influence tool development.
Provide technical leadership and mentorship to design teams on tool usage, best practices, and enablement strategies.
Document and communicate enablement strategies, tool configurations, and workflow improvements.
Qualifications
Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering.
Experience with active device modelling.
Excellent problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.
Desired Qualifications
Experience with Keysight ADS in MMIC/RF design environments.
Strong proficiency in Python for scripting, automation, and data handling.
Understanding of InP and/or GaAs semiconductor technologies, including design and simulation nuances.
Experience with additional EDA tools (e.g., Cadence Virtuoso, AWR, HFSS).
Knowledge of version control systems (e.g., Git) and collaborative development practices.
Ability to work independently and lead cross-functional initiatives.
