Responsibilities

We are seeking a highly skilled R&D Engineer to drive the development of next‑generation layout automation technologies for RFIC, RF module, and microwave designs within Keysight’s EDA ecosystem. This role focuses on parameterized cell (PCell) development, Python-based layout automation, EM‑aware design flows, and engineering support for high-frequency components including power amplifiers, mixers, filters, and passive structures.

The ideal candidate will combine strong RFIC/microwave design fundamentals with deep hands-on experience in layout generation, parameterization, and EDA automation. This is a high-impact individual contributor role, delivering core layout technology that powers ADS and Keysight’s broader design platforms.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop advanced PCells, Python-based cells, and Python-driven layout templates for RFIC, MMIC, and high-frequency passive/active components.
• Build EM‑optimized geometry generators incorporating constraints such as symmetry, spacing rules, routing patterns, stackup effects, and foundry DRC.
• Create reusable, scalable layout modules supporting inductors, transmission lines, transformers, filters, couplers, matching networks, and PA structures.
• Develop automation flows for layout synthesis, parameter sweeps, geometry optimization, and rule-driven layout adaptation.
• Implement layout‑to‑EM extraction flows enabling high‑accuracy simulation of parameterized geometries.
• Contribute domain expertise in RFIC and RF module design, including linear and nonlinear circuits, matching networks, filters, oscillators, PAs, and mixers.
• Collaborate with software, EM, layout, and workflow teams to integrate new automation capabilities into Keysight’s design platforms.
• Contribute to integration of ML-based optimization or geometry synthesis techniques.
• Deliver high-quality code, documentation, tests, and validation artifacts as part of an engineering development cycle.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with RF designers, system architects, EDA developers, and test teams.
• Participate in Agile ceremonies, code reviews, workflow design, and internal technical discussions.
  
  

Qualifications

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical Engineering, RF/Microwave Engineering, Electronics, or related field.
• Strong foundation in RFIC/microwave circuit design, EM simulation, and layout principles.
• Hands-on experience with ADS, HFSS, AWR, Cadence Virtuoso, or similar EDA tools.
• Proficiency in Python for automation, PCell development, and EDA scripting.
• Strong understanding of high-frequency component layout including PAs, mixers, filters, LNAs, and passive structures.
• Experience with EM extraction, layout‑driven optimization, and parameterized designs.
• Ability to deliver clean, maintainable code using CI/CD, version control, and modular software practices.
  
  

Preferred Skills

• Experience with PCells (SKILL, Python, ADS, internal DSLs) and automated layout generation.
• Knowledge of performance optimization, DRC handling, stackup-driven layout, and EM-aware geometry construction.
• Experience with AI/ML for design automation, optimization, or sensitivity modeling.
• Background in high-linearity, low-noise, wideband RF design.
• Exposure to cloud-based simulation or modern scalable EDA workflows.
• Strong analytical problem-solving skills and ability to work independently as a key technical contributor.
