Our team, part of Keysight Laboratories' High Frequency Technology Center (HFTC), is a software development group. We design and build custom software used across Keysight's Santa Rosa wafer fab, test floor and assembly lines for everything from wafer maps to electrical test orchestration and automation, data transformation, and extensions of our manufacturing execution systems (MES).
The chips we make go into Keysight's own instruments. This role is about learning to engineer software well, not IT or equipment support. You'll learn from experienced developers and work directly with the engineers, operators and technicians who use what we build.
Most of our work is in C#/.NET: desktop applications and test-station software, plus web applications and APIs in ASP.NET, backed by SQL Server. Every change is code-reviewed, and builds and tests run automatically.
