TL;DR · Power Integrity Engineer

The Power Integrity Engineer joins the Hardware Technology Group to develop, implement, and verify power integrity solutions for compute and connectivity SoCs used in various mobile and computing devices. This role involves defining power delivery network architectures, establishing off-die droop budgets, and designing end-to-end solutions across PMU, PCB, module, package, and die levels. The engineer performs modeling, simulation, and characterization of voltage regulators while conducting feasibility studies for silicon floorplans and active droop mitigation. Key technical requirements include proficiency in Python, AI/ML assisted automation, 2D/3D EM simulation tools, and electromagnetic theory. Candidates must demonstrate expertise in power supply architecture, signal integrity, and lab validation using VNA, real-time scopes, and spectrum analyzers to address complex noise coupling and voltage stability issues within high-performance system environments.

What you'll do

  • Define and design power delivery network (PDN) architectures for various SoC systems.
  • Model, simulate, and characterize power delivery across die, package, module, board, and voltage regulator levels.
  • Conduct end-to-end PI studies to meet strict impedance, voltage droop, and noise specifications.
  • Perform model-to-hardware correlation for components, modules, and full systems.
  • Provide technical implementation guidelines and feedback to silicon, package, and system design teams.
  • Execute feasibility studies for silicon floorplans, advanced droop mitigation, and voltage regulator tuning.
  • Analyze digital-to-analog/RF noise coupling and determine necessary voltage guard bands.
  • Verify power integrity performance and efficiency using advanced lab measurements and equipment.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor of Science degree and 10+ years of relevant industry experience.
  • Advanced degree (M.S. or Ph.D.) in Power/Signal Integrity, Power Electronics, Electromagnetics, Microwave, or Analog/RF Circuit Design (preferred).
  • Experience in PI/SI methodology development, PDN modeling from system to die, and lab correlation/validation in time/frequency domains (preferred).
  • Understanding of power supply architecture including multi-stage voltage regulator technologies and PCB/package design trends (preferred).
  • Proficiency in Python coding and experience with AI/ML assisted automation (preferred).
  • Knowledge of 3D/2D EM simulation tools, electromagnetic theory, and transmission line theory (preferred).
  • Familiarity with lab equipment such as VNA, real-time scopes, and spectrum analyzers (preferred).
  • Ability to work and communicate efficiently in cross-functional teams.
