RF Lab Engineer

What you will do

• Manage the daily operation in the lab:
  • Propose and maintain work flow to improve the lab operation.
  • Propose and implement solutions to solve (practical) measurement issues.
  • Contribute to discussions on investments and selection of advanced lab equipment.
• Develop and maintain advanced measurement procedures:
  • Coaching and training others how to operate the lab equipment. 
  • Automate repetitive measurement tasks into scripts and operational flows. 
  • Build measurements setups to measure and characterize devices (e.g. transistors), circuits and full (demo) systems from DC to sub-THz.
• Perform advanced measurements using vector network analyzers, (semi-automated) probe stations with general lab equipment to characterize devices and circuits (e.g. small/large signal, EVM, noise, load-pull, etc...). 

What we do for you

We offer you the opportunity to join one of the world’s premier research centers in nanotechnology at its headquarters in Leuven, Belgium. With your talent, passion and expertise, you’ll become part of a team that makes the impossible possible. Together, we shape the technology that will determine the society of tomorrow.

We are committed to being an inclusive employer and proud of our open, multicultural, and informal working environment with ample possibilities to take initiative and show responsibility.

Through imec.academy, 'our corporate university', we actively invest in your development to further your technical and personal growth. 

We are aware that your valuable contribution makes imec a top player in its field. Your energy and commitment are therefore appreciated by means of a market appropriate salary with many fringe benefits. 

Who you are

• You have a Master’s degree in electronics engineering or related field with 3+ years of experience in high frequency (GHz) RF measurements. 
• You have a background/strong interest in use of lab equipment and building test setups, including oscilloscopes, signal generators, vector network analyzers, and power supplies. 
• Solid understanding and hands-on of RF and MMW measurements is key. 
• Experience with probe station measurements and tuners is a plus. 
• Proficiency in programming languages such as Python/Matlab is a plus. 
• You have good documentation and communication skills. Given the international character of imec, good knowledge of English is a must.
