Characterization of MMICs and RFICs in the microwave and millimeter-wave range (>100 GHz)
Performing on-wafer measurements using wafer probers (e.g., MPI)
Setup, operation and optimization of RF measurement stations (VNA including extenders, test stations, load-pull/noise measurements where required)
Execution and analysis of S-parameter, power and linearity measurements (e.g., IP3, P1dB)
Application of calibration and de-embedding procedures (TRL, SOLT, LRM)
Analysis and interpretation of measurement results and derivation of design feedback
Automation of measurement procedures and data analysis (Python, MATLAB)
Support during silicon bring-up and validation of new designs
Coordination with internal teams (design, test) and external partners as needed

Degree in electrical engineering, RF engineering, microelectronics or a comparable qualification
Several years of experience (approx. 5–8 years) in the characterization of MMICs/RFICs
