Opportunity Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled RF/mmWave Calibration Engineer to develop advanced calibration strategy & algorithms used in SoC (System-on-Chip) automated test this role you will design validate and deploy calibration methodologies that ensure highaccuracy RF and mmWave measurements across production characterization and validation environments. The ideal candidate has deep expertise in RF/mmWave theory signal chain modeling statistical calibration techniques and ATE system behaviors.

Calibration Algorithm Development

• Develop advanced calibration algorithms for RF and mmWave signal paths including:
  • IQ imbalance correction
  • LO feedthrough and DC offset correction
  • PA and LNA linearity compensation
  • RF frontend deembedding and reference plane alignment
  • mmWave path loss
• Optimize calibration sequences for speed accuracy and stability especially for highvolume production test.

RF/mmWave Measurement & Analysis

• Characterize RF/mmWave performance of test systems using VNAs spectrum analyzers signal generators and power meters.
• Perform root-cause failure analysis for drift instability measurement noise and environmental variability.
• Create statistical models for repeatability uncertainty and calibration delta monitoring.
