Position Summary:
Keysight Technologies is seeking an experienced and highly skilled Solution Engineer to join its AI team within Software & AI Labs. This expert-level role combines deep domain knowledge in Digital Photonics (real-time and sampling oscilloscopes, BERTs, arbitrary waveform generators) and Aerospace/Defense (signal sources, radar and EW test) with hands-on AI/ML engineering. The successful candidate will drive data and test-case generation for AI model training on real bench hardware, develop and deploy ML models against that data, and coordinate with internal business units and Machine Learning Engineers (MLEs).
Responsibilities
• Develop and maintain custom scripts and automation solutions for instrument control and customer testing requirements across scopes, BERTs, AWGs, signal sources, and radar test setups (SCPI, PyVISA, instrument APIs).
• Lead data-generation campaigns in the Data Generation Lab on our AI Platform — designing measurement plans and producing high-quality datasets for AI model training.
• Develop, train, and validate ML models for measurement science problems: waveform and eye-diagram analysis, EVM/BER/jitter inference, signal classification, and radar/EW scenario characterization.
• Convert measurement and optimization workflows into agentic AI skills (LLM-based tooling) so instruments can be operated and results interpreted through AI-driven pipelines.
• Coordinate with Keysight business units and MLEs to facilitate high-quality data generation for AI model development.
• Act as a primary customer interface for the AI Development Platform in photonics and A&D engagements, ensuring alignment with user needs and technical requirements.
• Serve as a technical advisor on high-speed digital, photonics, and radar/EW test technologies across global engagements.
• Lead technical discussions, demonstrations, and proof-of-concept initiatives with customers and R&D teams; collaborate with account managers to communicate the value of Keysight's AI solutions.
• Deliver training and ongoing technical support to ensure customer success; build and maintain strategic customer relationships.
• Represent Keysight at industry events and technical forums.
Qualifications
• Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Electronics and Communication Engineering, or a related field.
• 5–10 years of relevant experience, including customer-facing technical roles.
• Hands-on expertise with T&M equipment — oscilloscopes, BERTs, AWGs, and/or signal generators/analyzers — including remote programming and test automation (Python, SCPI, PyVISA, IVI; C# and OpenTAP a plus).
• Strong ML engineering skills: Python, PyTorch or TensorFlow, and classical signal processing applied to time-series, RF, or optical waveform data.
• Solid RF and/or high-speed digital fundamentals: modulation, EVM, BER, jitter etc.
• Domain depth in at least one of: optical/photonics test (coherent optics, PAM4, TDECQ) or radar/EW (pulse compression, chirps, PRI/PDW analysis, threat simulation).
• Independent professional who works best under broad and general direction.
• Due to this role's exposure to export-controlled defense technology, candidates must qualify as U.S. Persons as defined by ITAR (22 CFR § 120.62).
Preferred Qualifications
• Experience building LLM-based agents, tools, or skills (Claude, MCP, or similar) for engineering automation is a strong plus.
