(Senior) RF Engineer mmW Innovation (f/m/d)

For many applications, there is an ongoing need to make use of higher frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum, which require technological innovations both for development and validation of new products. Therefore, NXP Germany is engaging in the German part of the EU R&D program “important project of common European interest” (IPCEI) for microelectronics. As part of this program, NXP has built a brand-new facility for high frequency technologies in Hamburg: the “Terahertz Lab” serves as a system-level RF competence center supporting product development and innovation projects for multiple products lines. Further, new concepts for system-level RF validation are investigated in the sub-THz spectrum and beyond (frequency range ≥ 100 GHz). The Terahertz Lab will be a key player supporting innovation and development for the next generation of automotive radar, robotics, and connectivity solutions within NXP. Your Responsibilities Contribute to product development and innovation projects, including concept development, feasibility studies, prototyping, simulation, and validation in the context of future RF technologies. Conceptualize, design and implement automated RF and communications test solutions with software-controlled environments. Develop test specifications, test plans, and test instructions for efficient and performant test solutions. Analyze & troubleshoot test problems (SW, HW, measurement equipment). Plan and coordinate test and validation jobs according to specifications. Continuous improvement of lab processes, methods, and lab automation.
