Senior Characterization Engineer
The Senior Characterization Engineer is
responsible for characterization of SiTime’s
revolutionary MEMS-based timing products,
including mixed signal characterization efforts,
systems/algorithms development, datasheet
validation, performance feedback to MEMS/CMOS
design, and prototyping of test and FA methodologies.
Responsibilities:
* Design/Prototyping/Release of RF (up to ~3GHz) characterization
* Key contributor to future direction of
SiTime’s characterization methodologies and systems
* Component/instrument selection
* Mixed signal PCB design/layout
* External PCB/instrumentation vendor management
* Software development for instrument automation
* Rapid prototyping of algorithms for specialized characterization needs.
* Work with MEMS and Circuit design groups to
specify design improvements related to Design For Char/Design For Test (DFT)
* Work with Test group to release designs and
algorithms to final test/production environments.
* Professional documentation of
characterization results, system designs, and algorithms
Requirements:
* PhD in Electrical Engineering, or BSEE/MSEE
+ 3-7 years related experience (exceptional
candidates in other disciplines, e.g., ME, will be considered)
* Excellent communication and problem-solving skills.
* Mixed signal design ability at the board level
* Good knowledge of signal processing in both hardware and software
* Ability to efficiently manage outside PCB
vendors or instrumentation vendors
* Deep familiarity with lab instrument capabilities and limitations
* Ability to synthesize an instrumentation
system design (software/hardware) from scratch, evaluate build/buy decisions
* Excellent programming skills, and ability
to synthesize algorithms; microcontroller
firmware programming + MATLAB scripting is ideal
* Familiarity with Matlab, Labview, or some
other instrument-centric programming environment
* Mixed signal understanding of CMOS
circuitry at the chip level is a plus.
* Knowledge and skills preferred:
* Self-starter – able to manage projects and
vendors efficiently with little supervision
* Programming ability in C or C++
* Familiarity with RF board design issues,
including signal integrity and transmission line issues in the 1-3GHz rnage
* Working knowledge of advanced
timing-specific instruments such as network
analyzers and time-interval-analyzers (TIAs)
* Strong statistical analysis skills
* Strong familiarity with mixed-signal CMOS design
