TL;DR · Principal Signal Integrity Engineer

As a Prinicipal Signal Integrity Engineer within the Adaptive and Embedded Computing Group, you will ensure industry-leading reliability, performance, and efficiency for next-generation products. You will model and simulate end-to-end high-speed channels, including transceivers, IC packages, PCBs, and connectors. Your daily work involves performing time and frequency domain signal integrity analysis to identify loss, reflection, and crosstalk while optimizing Eye Diagrams, Bit Error Rate, and Signal-Noise-Ratio. You will provide design guidelines for board materials, stack-ups, and transmission line routings. Utilizing tools such as Keysight ADS, Cadence Sigrity, Ansys HFSS, MATLAB, and Python, you will solve complex interconnect problems for SerDes channels, LPDDR4/5x/6, DDR5, PCIe Gen 5/6, and 400/800/1600Gbps Ethernet links. You will also support lab validation using TDR, VNA, and high-speed oscilloscopes.

What you'll do

  • Model and simulate end-to-end high-speed channels including transceivers, IC packages, PCBs, and connectors.
  • Perform time and frequency domain signal integrity analyses using IBIS-AMI, SPICE, and full-wave EM analysis.
  • Identify and resolve link quality issues such as loss, reflection, and crosstalk.
  • Conduct channel simulations to optimize Eye Diagrams, Bit Error Rate (BER), and Signal-Noise-Ratio (SNR).
  • Provide design guidelines for board materials, stack-ups, transmission line routings, and component placement.
  • Review PCB layouts and board materials to identify and propose solutions for signal and power integrity issues.
  • Support lab validation and debugging to correlate physical test data with simulation results.

What we're looking for

  • Master's or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • Experience modeling and simulating end-to-end high-speed channels including transceivers, IC packages, PCBs, and connectors.
  • Proficiency in performing time/frequency domain signal integrity analysis using IBIS-AMI, SPICE, and full-wave EM analysis.
  • Ability to identify and resolve link quality issues such as loss, reflection, and crosstalk.
  • Experience conducting channel simulations to optimize Eye Diagram, Bit Error Rate (BER), and Signal-Noise-Ratio (SNR).
  • Ability to provide design guidelines on board materials, stack-up, transmission line routings, and component placement.
  • Experience supporting lab validation and debugging to correlate with simulation data.
  • Strong experience in high-speed signal integrity engineering (preferred).
  • Proficiency in SI simulation tools such as Keysight ADS, Cadence Sigrity, or Ansys HFSS (preferred).
  • Expertise in high-speed architecture, interconnects, and PCB/package design (preferred).
  • Knowledge of high-speed interfaces including PCIe, Ethernet, and DDR (preferred).
  • Familiarity with MATLAB or Python for data analysis and automation (preferred).
  • Hands-on experience with lab testing tools like TDR, VNA, and high-speed oscilloscopes (preferred).
