Does the thought of working with a team of expert engineers developing and architecting custom solutions that enable the realization and manufacture of next generation technologies such as 5G wireless, 6G wireless/technologies, Electric Vehicles (EVs), Autonomous Vehicles (AVs), electronic warfare, satellite communications, quantum computing and silicon photonics excite you? Keysight’s Global Solutions Enablement (GSE) team is growing rapidly, and we are looking for a motivated technical intern with an engineering background interested in entering the solutions engineering/technical marketing/business development field to join our team of experienced Solutions Engineers and Solution Architects specializing in developing custom solutions for Keysight’s lead and strategic customers.

The main responsibilities of the Global Solutions Enablement (GSE) Software and Digital Embedded Processing Solution Engineer are to:

We are seeking a versatile Software Engineer with FPGA experience to join a dynamic team responsible for designing, building, and delivering custom test and measurement solutions. This role is ideal for a practical problem solver who loves solving customers’ engineering problems and someone unafraid of diving into new technologies. If you are excited by the opportunity to work across a broad range of technologies and play a key role in ensuring the highest standards of software quality for our customized solutions in the RF and Digital Test and Measurement market, then this is a role for you.

You will play a key role to develop custom test automation, data analysis pipelines, FPGA-assisted workflows, instrument control layers, and other tailored solutions that help customers accelerate their product development cycles. If you have solid software fundamentals, and especially if you’re not afraid to dive into new software workflows, you will thrive in this role.

To achieve these responsibilities a successful candidate will have the ability to collect and translate internal Keysight solution designs and/or customer technical requirements to implementable, differentiated, solution collateral and technical proposals that use Keysight’s measurement and solution technology.

You will receive mentoring and guidance to build a deep understanding of core test & measurement equipment and solution concepts necessary for architecting and delivering custom integrated solutions based on Keysight hardware, software and occasionally 3rd party products. We like to refer to this as Hardware + Software + People (you!) = Solutions.

Keysight is seeking a motivated and technical candidate with relevant engineering and marketing education/experience, the ability to thrive in a dynamic work environment and aptitude to build professional tools, technical collateral and relationships that augment our strong team of solution engineer experts.
