TL;DR · Electrical Signal Integrity Engineer

The Electrical Signal Integrity Engineer joins the Specs team to ensure the quality performance of Spectacles subsystems through detailed high-speed signal integrity and power system simulations. This role involves simulating AC and DC power distribution networks, defining impedance masks, and designing complex SOCs, PMICs, wireless ICs, and sensors for low-power consumer electronics. The engineer will supervise PCB and Flex layout reviews for SI, PI, EMC, and EMI, while debugging hardware issues like desense and ESD with cross-functional teams. Key technical requirements include proficiency in Cadence Allegro, OrCAD Capture, and simulation tools such as Sigrity, ADS, or HFSS. Experience with communication interfaces like USB, I2C/I3C, SPI, UART, MIPI, SWD, and PCIe is essential. The role focuses on solving complex electrical challenges within the domain of advanced eyewear that integrates digital experiences into the physical world.

What you'll do

  • Perform detailed simulations for high-speed signal integrity and power system performance.
  • Simulate AC/DC power distribution networks and define impedance masks.
  • Design complex SOCs, PMICs, wireless ICs, and sensors for low-power electronics.
  • Supervise and review PCB, Flex, and Rigid Flex layouts for SI, PI, EMC, and EMI.
  • Debug hardware issues including desense, power states, signal integrity, ESD, and EMI.
  • Analyze circuit parasitics and tolerances across various voltage and temperature ranges.
  • Test and validate board-level and system-level electrical designs.
  • Develop electronic prototypes for new product concepts and support manufacturing builds.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
  • Master's or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a related field is preferred.
  • At least 3 years of experience in electrical or hardware engineering.
  • Proficiency in high-speed signal integrity (SI), power integrity (PI), and EMI/EMC mitigation.
  • Experience with communication interfaces including USB, I2C/I3C, SPI, UART, MIPI, SWD, and PCIe.
  • Familiarity with simulation tools such as Sigrity, ADS, or HFSS.
  • Proficiency with lab equipment like oscilloscopes, battery simulators, logic analyzers, and thermal chambers.
  • Ability to travel internationally 10% of the time.
