Job description

We are now looking for a Signal & Power Integrity Engineer!

Responsibilities

• 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 modelling 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

• BS/MS-Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience with minimum 2+ years of industry experience.
• Strong technical background in applied electromagnetics, transmission line theory and signal processing will be highly valued.
• SI work on one or more signaling standards like PCI express, USB, SATA, HDMI, HBM, DDR5, GDDR6, LPDDR5X, etc.
• 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 a system level timing or loss budget including silicon, package and board impairments.
• Background with use of VNA, TDR, DSO, ParBERT and use of tools/applications like ADS, Ansys Designer, JMP, Matlab, Cadence Allegro will be a plus.

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd

• Experience in SI simulation and verification of test sockets, LGA sockets and mezzanine connectors, and designing channels which include them.
• Expertise in one or more of the high speed interface SI/PI design on any industry standard system platforms.
• Experience with lab measurements, debugging, SI lab correlation using oscilloscope/ spectrum analyzer/ VNA.
• Knowledge of circuit design, board/pkg technology & design, link architecture, timing budget methodologies.
• Familiarity with PDN evaluation using layout extraction tools for packages and PCBs and spice-based time domain simulations
