TL;DR · Power Integrity Engineer

Power Integrity Engineer As part of the Hardware Technology Group, the Power Integrity Engineer will develop, implement, and verify power integrity solutions for SoCs used in mobile and desktop devices. The role involves designing end-to-end power delivery networks across PMU, PCB, package, interposer, and die components to meet strict impedance and voltage droop specifications. Key responsibilities include performing modeling, simulation, and characterization of various hardware levels, conducting feasibility studies for silicon floorplans, and providing implementation guidelines to cross-functional teams. The candidate will utilize Python coding, AI/ML assisted automation, 2D/3D EM simulation tools, and lab equipment such as VNAs and real-time scopes. This role addresses critical power delivery challenges including on-die inrush, noise coupling analysis, and active droop mitigation to ensure high-quality performance across current and future generations of integrated circuits.

What you'll do

  • Model, simulate, and characterize power delivery networks across die, interposer, package, board, and voltage regulators.
  • Design end-to-end power delivery systems to meet stringent impedance and voltage droop specifications.
  • Define PDN architecture and design solution spaces for target systems.
  • Manage all SoC droop topics including inrush, noise coupling analysis, and active droop mitigation.
  • Provide implementation guidelines and feedback to silicon, package, and system design teams.
  • Perform feasibility studies for silicon floorplans and advanced droop mitigation schemes.
  • Conduct model-to-hardware correlation on both component and product levels.
  • Verify power integrity quality through lab measurements using equipment like VNAs and real-time scopes.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree and 3+ years of relevant industry experience.
  • Master's or PhD with a background in Power/Signal Integrity, Analog Circuit Design, or Electromagnetism.
  • Proficiency in Python coding and AI/ML assisted automation.
  • Experience in PI/SI methodology development and PDN modeling from system to die.
  • Knowledge of 3D/2D EM simulation tools and electromagnetic and transmission line theory.
  • Familiarity with lab equipment such as VNA, real-time scope, and spectrum analyzers.
  • Experience in design and analysis of product power supply solutions and voltage regulator technologies.
  • Ability to communicate effectively within a multi-functional team.
