TL;DR · Senior Leader, Signal and Power Integrity/Systems Architecture (High-Speed Interconnects)

JOB TITLE: Senior Leader, Signal and Power Integrity/Systems Architecture (High-Speed Interconnects) - Multiple locations The Central Hardware Systems team is seeking a Senior Leader to define and productize next-generation high-speed electrical interconnect technologies for AI, hyperscale datacenter, networking, and HPC platforms. This role involves driving end-to-end architecture for 224G and 448G PAM4 systems, including SerDes, package, PCB, connector, and cable solutions. Key responsibilities include leading system-level Signal Integrity and Power Integrity strategies, performing channel budgeting, and optimizing high-speed link technologies across bandwidth, power, and latency. The candidate must utilize tools such as ADS, HFSS, CST, HSPICE, MATLAB, Python, Cadence Sigrity, PowerSI, Clarity, SystemVerilog, and Verilog-A. The work focuses on solving complex electrical connectivity problems for scalable AI infrastructure through innovations in heterogeneous integration, CPC/NPC flyover architectures, and advanced packaging technologies.

What you'll do

  • Define end-to-end architecture for 224G and 448G PAM4 electrical interconnect systems.
  • Lead system-level Signal Integrity and Power Integrity strategies including channel budgeting and COM analysis.
  • Drive architecture, modeling, and optimization for high-speed link technologies and equalization techniques.
  • Develop and productize advanced electrical connectivity solutions using advanced packaging and PCB technologies.
  • Provide technical leadership for future interconnect roadmaps and scalable AI infrastructure innovations.
  • Perform simulation-to-silicon correlation for PDN design, jitter, crosstalk, and insertion loss.

What we're looking for

  • MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, or a related discipline.
  • Bachelor's degree in Chemical, Electrical, or Mechanical Engineering with 10+ years of System/Package Design/Technology Engineering experience.
  • Master's degree in Chemical, Electrical, or Mechanical Engineering with 9+ years of System/Package Design/Technology Engineering experience.
  • PhD in Chemical, Electrical, or Mechanical Engineering with 8+ years of System/Package Design/Technology Engineering experience.
  • 15+ years of experience developing high-speed communication, networking, or datacenter infrastructure products.
  • Demonstrated success productizing 112G and/or 224G PAM4 electrical communication systems.
  • Deep expertise in high-speed SerDes, PAM4, SI/PI, advanced packaging, PCB design, and power delivery networks.
  • Hands-on experience with ADS, HFSS, CST, HSPICE, MATLAB, Python, Cadence Sigrity, PowerSI, Clarity, SystemVerilog, Verilog-A, and IBIS-AMI modeling.
