MaxLinear is seeking an entry-level Systems Characterization (Test) Engineer to join either our Carlsbad, CA or Irvine, CA design center teams (you only need to apply for one position to be considered for both locations). In this role, you will be responsible for conducting tests to characterize state-of-the-art integrated circuits for advanced communications SoCs and high-speed products. The targeted applications include 5G radios, data center optical transceivers, and microwave backhaul transceivers. You will work closely with Systems, Communications Systems, Analog/Mixed-Signal RFIC, and ASIC design engineers from inception through design, test, qualification, and finally support for volume production.

Required Skills

• Experience in Python / C / Matlab
• Ability to write / modify scripts to automate tests; collect and analyze data
• Good understanding on RF Engineering, Optical Communications Systems, and DSP
• Preferred but not required experience:
  • Broadband circuit analysis and PCB design, including facility with CAD tools such as ADS and Cadence
  • Test, measurement, and debug experience including on-board or on-wafer calibration and probing
  • Hands-on experience with Oscilloscope, Spectrum Analyzer, and VNA
• Self-motivated, able to communicate effectively, and excel in a fast-paced environment
• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering or similar

COMPANY OVERVIEW

MaxLinear is a global, New York Stock Exchange-traded company (NYSE: MXL) where the entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well. We are a fabless system-on-chip product company, designing highly integrated, radio-frequency, and mixed-signal Communications ICs for broadband and infrastructure applications.

We hire the best people in the world and engage them in some of the most exciting opportunities in our broadband and infrastructure markets. Our growth has come from innovative, bold approaches to solving some of the world’s most challenging communication technology problems.

MaxLinear began by developing the World’s first high-performance TV tuner chip using standard CMOS process technology. Others said we couldn’t achieve the extremely high performance requirements using CMOS, but we proved them wrong and achieved enduring global market leadership with our designs. Since then, we’ve developed a full line of products for satellite communications, cable modems, and terrestrial TV; diversified into high speed products addressing Datacom applications such as 400 Gbps fiber-optic interconnect chips for high-speed networks; and MoCA technology for home networking.

Our headquarters is in Carlsbad, near San Diego, California. We also have major design centers in Irvine and San Jose, CA; in Vancouver, Canada; in Herzliya, Israel; in Valencia, Spain; and in Bangalore, India.

We have approximately 800 employees, a substantial majority of whom have engineering degrees, and include masters and Ph.D. graduates from many of the premiere universities around the world. Our engineers thrive on innovation, outstanding execution, outside-the-box thinking, nimbleness, and collaboration. Together, we form a high-energy business team that is focused on building great products.
