Job description

We are hiring a Signal & Power Integrity Engineer.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Work on crafting creative Signal Integrity solutions to complex system design problems.
• Modeling and optimization of vias, connectors, sockets, breakouts and various system components in 3D EM tools.
• System-level signal integrity simulations of high-speed NVlink 200Gbs+, USB-4, PCIe5, GDDR6, LP5X and other interfaces.
• Constant improvements of SI models using data from lab measurements and/or modeling tool/methodology updates.
• Substrate and board layout SI guidelines creation, review and post-layout SI extractions.
• Simulation automation, data gathering, analysis and visualization using JMP, MATLAB or similar tools.
• Opportunity to work in a dynamic cross‑functional role to optimize package, PCB, ASIC, mixed signal circuit.

What We Need To See

• MS and/or PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering (or equivalent experience) with minimum 2 years of work experience.
• Strong technical background in applied electromagnetics, waveguides, transmission line theory and signal processing will be highly valued.
• Familiarity with signal and power integrity concepts, design and analysis.
• Exposure to channel SI time domain simulations.
• Hands‑on use of 3‑D modeling tools like ANSYS HFSS/Q3D, 2.5‑D with ANSYS SIWAVE or similar and 2D such as Ansys2D.
• Familiarity with use of VNA, TDR, DSO, ParBERT and use of tools/applications like ADS, Ansys Designer, JMP, Matlab, Cadence Allegro.
• Scripting skills for data post‑processing, tool development and/or process automation.

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd

• Exposure to board/package technology & design.
• Understanding of circuit equalization techniques.
• Exposure to PDN evaluation using layout extraction tools for packages and PCBs and spice‑based time domain simulations.
• Knowledge of programming language(s), especially Python.
