TL;DR · Senior Signal and Power Integrity Engineer

As a Senior Signal & Power Integrity Engineer in our dynamic technology-focused company, you will lead board/system signal integrity design activities, including PCB stack-up design, material selection, and post-layout analysis. You’ll collaborate closely with the Package and PCB Design teams to optimize system performance and work with Application Engineering to support customer designs. Key responsibilities include system-level signal integrity simulation of interfaces like PCIE, LPDDR/DDR/GDDR, MIPI, HDMI, and USB, as well as power delivery network optimization on PCBs. The ideal candidate has a BS/MS in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience, along with hands-on expertise using tools such as HFSS, Sigrity, Hspice, and Cadence Allegro PCB designer. You should also have a strong understanding of high-speed interface design, package design, and signaling schemes like NRZ and PAM4.

What you'll do

  • Lead board/system signal integrity (SI) design activities including PCB stack up design and material selection.
  • Perform system-level SI simulation for interfaces such as PCIE, LPDDR/DDR/GDDR, MIPI, HDMI, USB.
  • Optimize power delivery network (PDN) on printed circuit boards (PCBs).
  • Collaborate with Package and PCB Design teams to enhance system SI/PI performance.
  • Support customer board designs through Application Engineering team interactions.
  • Conduct TDR & VNA measurements for PKG/PCB material characterization and model correlation.

What we're looking for

  • BS/MS in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience with at least 4 years as a SI/PI engineer.
  • Extensive hands-on experience with HFSS, Sigrity, Hspice, and other industry-standard simulation tools.
  • Expertise in high-speed electrical interfaces such as PCIE, LPDDR/DDR/GDDR, MIPI, HDMI, USB.
  • Proficient in Cadence Allegro PCB designer and Constraints Manager or similar stack-up design tools.
  • Deep understanding of electromagnetics, channel components, and transmission line theory.
  • Experience analyzing and optimizing power delivery networks (PDN) on PCBs.
  • Familiarity with package design, interface timing budgets, and system modeling.
