- Programming: Proficiency in C/C++, Python, or Perl for test script automation and data analysis.
- RF Fundamentals: Deep understanding of RF parameters such as S‑parameters, NF (Noise Figure), IIP3, EVM, and Phase Noise.
- Hardware Skills: Experience with lab equipment including Oscilloscopes, Spectrum Analyzers, and Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs). Desirable
- Experience with high‑volume manufacturing (HVM) environments and offshore OSAT management.
- Strong analytical mindset with the ability to solve complex problems under tight deadlines.
- Excellent communication skills to bridge the gap between Design, Product, and Operations teams.
- Advantage: Knowledge of automotive test standards (AEC‑Q100) or aerospace reliability requirements. What’s in it for you?
- Care: Your mental and physical health is our priority. We ensure company‑paid medical insurance and 4 additional undocumented sick leave days.
- Tailored education path: Boost your skills and knowledge with our regular internal events (meetups, conferences, workshops), Udemy license, language courses and company‑paid certifications.
