Overview: Keysight is on the forefront of technology innovation, delivering breakthroughs and trusted insights in electronic design, simulation, prototyping, test, manufacturing, and optimization. Our ~15,000 employees create world-class solutions in communications, 5G, automotive, energy, quantum, aerospace, defense, and semiconductor markets for customers in over 100 countries. Learn more about what we do. Our powerful, award-winning culture embraces a bold vision of where technology can take us and a passion for tackling challenging problems with industry-first solutions. Diversity, equity & inclusion are integral parts of our culture and drivers of innovation at Keysight. We believe that when people feel a sense of belonging, they can be more creative, innovative, and thrive at all points in their careers. Responsibilities: * You will compete in a design competition to develop an innovative measurement instrument from the ground up, including teardown analysis and creative prototyping. * The winning team will be awarded a prize of X$$. * Work collaboratively in a small team of 3-4 interns, fostering innovation, teamwork, and hands-on experience. * Each team will have an allocated project budget and will compete against 3-4 other teams, providing a dynamic, challenging, and motivating environment. * You will be assigned a Coach/Mentor who will guide you through: * The product's target specifications and high-level functionality. * Access to datasheets, technical documentation, and essential resources. * Effective collaboration with Keysight personnel and departments. * Your team's key deliverables include: * Architecture Design, Block-Level Design, or Schematic Design. * Early-stage functional prototypes. * Internship Duration: Initially 3 months, with the possibility to extend up to 6-9 months. * Accommodation provided: Keysight sponsors housing near the campus for the duration of your internship. * This internship is onsite at the Keysight Campus (in Germany), offering daily collaborative work in a dedicated, professional workspace. * Having the legal right to work in the European Union for the entire duration of the internship is required. We are unable to sponsor work permits. Qualifications: Who We are seeking We are seeking highly motivated PhD students to join a cutting-edge design project focused on core technology within an instrument. The project will start with a 3-month design phase as a pilot, with the potential to extend up to 6-9 months, transitioning from design to the physical build of the instrument or module. Qualifications * PhD student in Electronics, Telecommunications, Electrical Engineering, or related fields. * Ability to collaborate within multidisciplinary teams and contribute to innovative design. * Proven experience or strong interest in developing technology-driven solutions. * Commitment to excellence, quality, and collaborative teamwork. Key Skills * Electronics and Circuit Design * Understanding of analog and digital circuits. * Knowledge of RF electronics. * Familiarity with op-amps, filters, oscillators, and mixers. * Signal Processing * Solid understanding of Fourier Transform. * Knowledge of waveform generation techniques. * Concepts of modulation and demodulation. * Experience with signal amplitude, phase, frequency analysis, bandwidth, resolution, and dynamic range. * Block Diagram Design * Ability to conceptualize and represent signal flow clearly (e.g., antenna to output display). * Knowledge of key system blocks: RF Front-End (LNA, Mixer, LO), Intermediate Frequency (IF) section, Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADC), Digital Signal Processing (DSP) units, and Display/Interface modules. * Schematic Design and PCB Layout * Experience with schematic capture software. * Knowledge of PCB layout considerations, especially for RF circuits. * Familiarity with grounding, shielding techniques, and impedance matching. * Embedded Systems and Microcontrollers * Familiarity with FPGA, DSP, or microcontrollers for real-time processing. * Programming experience in languages such as C/C++ or Python. * Test and Measurement * Experience using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and network analyzers. * Understanding of signal integrity, noise reduction techniques, and error handling. * Simulation and Modeling * Proficiency in simulation tools such as MATLAB, Simulink, LTspice, or Advanced Design System (ADS). * Ability to simulate and analyze RF circuits and signal processing algorithms. * System Integration and Debugging * Capability to integrate hardware and software components. * Debugging experience using logic analyzers, network analyzers, and signal generators.
