Responsibilities

About this Team

Our team, part of Keysight Laboratories' High Frequency Technology Center (HFTC), builds and supports hardware and software solutions that electrically test Process Control Monitors (PCM's) on wafers made in Keysight's Santa Rosa wafer fabrication facilities. HFTC's ability to rapidly innovate and deliver the world's best high frequency technology provides fundamental differentiation for electronic measurement products. The responsibility of an In-Fab Wafer Test Engineer is to facilitate rapid data acquisition of electrical performance of on-wafer PCM's, ensuring first-pass, quality data is sent to our Integration Engineering Team. In parallel, this on-wafer electrical data provides critical feedback to Process Engineers, ensuring their semiconductor processes are behaving as expected.
