Founded more than 85 years ago, the group is a reliable partner for industry and government customers around the world. We are looking for a highly motivated Technical Lead Analog RF/IC Design Engineer for our North American R&D Center in Hillsboro, Oregon. Our team is designing the next generation data converters for our world class test equipment. This is a small team environment in a great location, that has a history of very successful devices that have been designed into our industry leading test and measurement equipment. You’ll find our System on Chip (SoC) solutions embedded in R&S instruments in labs all over the world. Our R&D office is in Hillsboro, west of Portland, Oregon. We have a light, quiet, and modern work environment in a new building. This is a hybrid work position. We believe in the close, personal interactions that are needed for a successful team, but understand that people occasionally need to work from home. This is a full‒time position.

Your tasks

As part of this team, you will have an opportunity to work on many different modules within our devices and to work with the true leaders of in the design of world class data convertors. Your tasks will cover the entire spectrum of mixed signal development starting from conceptual work, through the design, layout, and characterization of the devices. Your designs will integrate large high frequency (> 30 GHz) blocks along with complex digital blocks to create our custom System on Chip (SoC) solutions that are exclusively used in R&S test equipment. We work with other ASIC design groups based in Germany. You will work with a highly qualified team of ASIC engineers, located both locally and in Germany.
