TL;DR · Electrical Signal Integrity Engineer

The Electrical Signal Integrity Engineer joins the Specs team to support the development of advanced eyewear that integrates digital experiences into the physical world. You will perform detailed simulations for high-speed signal integrity and power system integrity, ensuring quality performance for Spectacles subsystems. Daily responsibilities include simulating AC and DC power distribution networks, defining impedance masks, and designing complex SOCs, PMICs, and wireless ICs for low-power consumer electronics. You will supervise PCB, Flex, and Rigid Flex layout reviews for SI, PI, EMC, and EMI. Key technical skills include proficiency with Cadence Allegro, OrCAD Capture, Sigrity, ADS, and HFSS. You must also possess experience with communication interfaces like USB, I2C, SPI, and MIPI, while utilizing lab equipment such as oscilloscopes and logic analyzers to debug hardware issues.

What you'll do

  • Perform detailed simulations for high-speed signal integrity and power system integrity to ensure subsystem performance.
  • Simulate AC and DC power distribution networks and define impedance masks.
  • Design complex SOCs, PMICs, wireless ICs, and sensors for low-power consumer electronics.
  • Supervise and review layout for PCB, Flex, and Rigid Flex designs regarding SI, PI, EMC, and EMI.
  • Debug hardware issues including desense, power states, signal integrity, ESD, and EMI with cross-functional teams.
  • Analyze circuit parasitics and tolerances to ensure correct operation across specified voltage and temperature ranges.
  • Test and validate board-level and system-level aspects of electrical designs.
  • Develop electronic prototypes for new product concepts and support development builds at external contract manufacturers.

What we're looking for

  • BS/BA degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field or equivalent years of experience.
  • 3+ years of experience in electrical or hardware engineering.
  • Ability to travel internationally 10% of the time.
  • Experience in electronic design including component selection, schematic design, and tools like Cadence Allegro or OrCAD Capture.
  • Experience with communication interfaces such as USB, I2C/I3C, SPI, UART, MIPI, SWD, and PCIE.
  • Experience using lab equipment like oscilloscopes, battery simulators, logic analyzers, and thermal chambers.
  • Familiarity with PDN/SI simulation tools such as Sigrity, ADS, or HFSS (preferred).
  • MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a related field or equivalent years of experience (preferred).
