[Hiring] Systems Engineering Architect @Keysight Technologies, Inc.

Role Description

• Act as a customer-facing System Architect, bridging advanced R&D innovation with real-world customer applications in test and measurement.
• Lead architecture, design, and optimization of complex measurement systems across RF, high-speed digital, and physical domains.
• Apply deep measurement science expertise to develop and improve methodologies, including rigorous uncertainty analysis and error budgeting.
• Evaluate customer environments and design end-to-end system solutions integrating instrumentation, software, automation, and data workflows.
• Drive system-level innovation by translating R&D concepts into scalable, deployable customer solutions.
• Serve as a trusted technical advisor to customers, including direct engagement with executive stakeholders to influence strategy and technology adoption.
• Design and implement advanced automated test systems leveraging mechatronics, control systems, and instrumentation.
• Design, integrate, and optimize combined environmental test systems, including RF over-the-air (OTA) chambers, thermal chambers, and vibration (vibe) test setups, ensuring accurate measurement performance under real-world operating conditions.
• Collaborate with customers to define and implement multi-physics test environments (RF, thermal, and mechanical stress) and ensure proper synchronization of instrumentation, control systems, and data acquisition across environmental domains.
• Utilize and recommend Keysight (or equivalent) test and measurement solutions to meet high-performance application needs.
• Lead technical discovery sessions, requirements definition, and solution proposals for complex customer challenges.
• Collaborate closely with product development, R&D, and solutions engineering teams to align roadmap and customer needs.
• Develop system architectures leveraging CAD, MES, and system-level design principles.
• Drive continuous improvement in measurement accuracy, repeatability, throughput, and system efficiency.
• Support onsite customer engagements, system integration, and deployment activities, with 25 percent or greater travel required.
• Ensure all solutions comply with ITAR and export control regulations.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) required; Master’s degree or higher strongly preferred.
• 10 or more years of experience in R&D, Systems Engineering, or Solutions Engineering within test and measurement or related domains.
• Recognized expertise in measurement science, including uncertainty analysis, calibration principles, and system validation.
• Proven ability to architect and improve complex measurement systems across hardware, software, and automation layers.
• Strong background in mechatronic systems, including integration of sensors, actuators, motion control, and instrumentation.
• Hands-on experience with Keysight test and measurement equipment or similar industry-leading platforms preferred.
• Hands-on experience with combined environmental testing, including integration and use of RF chambers (anechoic/OTA), thermal cycling systems, and vibration (shaker) platforms.
• Strong understanding of how environmental factors (temperature, vibration, electromagnetic conditions) impact measurement accuracy, system performance, and calibration, with demonstrated ability to design test solutions that account for these variables.
• Experience with CAD tools, Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), and system-level architecture and design methodologies.
• Demonstrated success in highly customer-facing roles, including direct engagement with senior technical and executive stakeholders.
• Strong ability to translate advanced R&D concepts into practical, customer-ready solutions.
• Excellent communication, presentation, and consultative problem-solving skills.
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and leading highly technical discussions across diverse engineering teams.
• Willingness and ability to travel 25 percent or more.
• Must be a U.S. Person and able to work in compliance with ITAR requirements.
