• 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

• 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
