### Responsibilities

The candidate will be expected to contribute to a Signal Separation Project focused on Automotive Ethernet Full Duplex Standards. Accordingly, the following qualifications and interests are highly desirable for this project:

- Strong interest in high-speed signals and signal integrity.
- Willingness to work with:
- Real-time oscilloscope waveform data
- High-bandwidth voltage probes
- Current probes
- Test fixtures
- Ability to:
- Understand automotive communication standards from technical specifications.
- Validate performance using the oscilloscope's protocol decoder, rather than relying solely on eye-diagram metrics.
- Design controlled experiments and document negative as well as positive results.
- Maintain comprehensive documentation throughout the project, including justification for all selected constants and parameters.
- Prior project experience involving:
- Signal processing
- Measurement or laboratory-based research

### Qualifications

Required Qualifications

- Electrical Engineering major (Senior undergraduate, Master's, or PhD student preferred).
- Strong understanding of:
- Digital Communications, or equivalent knowledge of PAM signaling, scramblers, equalization (FFE/DFE), timing recovery, and eye-diagram analysis.
- Linear algebra, including least-squares methods, regularization techniques (Ridge/Tikhonov), and condition numbers.
- Proficiency with:
- Python and MATLAB, as well as at least one compiled programming language (C# or C++), as the next phase of the project involves porting the prototype to C#.
- Completion of, or demonstrated proficiency in:
- Signals and Systems
- Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
- Foundational knowledge of:
- FFTs, filtering, and time- and frequency-domain analysis.
- Willingness to work at the Keysight Colorado Springs, CO site.
- Exposure to wired PHY-layer technologies (e.g., Automotive Ethernet, 1000BASE-T, PCIe), the Keysight Infiniium framework or oscilloscope automation, Wireshark or Scapy, and experience interpreting IEEE standards will be considered an advantage.

CO pay range - Min $38.09 to Max $41.02

The level of role will be based on applicable experience, education and skills; most offers will be between the minimum and midpoint of the salary range.

Relocation is available for this position.
