TL;DR · Senior Signal Integrity Engineer

The Senior Signal Integrity Engineer joins the hardware engineering team to own signal and power integrity analysis for high-speed boards, packages, and system architectures. This role involves building 2.5D/3D EM models for high-speed channels, package substrates, connectors, and PCB stackups while performing time- and frequency-domain simulations for SerDes and parallel interfaces like DDR and HBM. The engineer will conduct AC/DC power delivery network simulations to evaluate impedance targets and IR drop, provide layout constraints, and optimize custom package designs. Day-to-day tasks include lab characterization using VNAs, TDRs, BERTs, and oscilloscopes to correlate measurement data with models. Required skills include proficiency in Ansys HFSS/SiWave, Cadence Sigrity/Allegro, Keysight ADS, or HSPICE, along with Python and TCL for automation. The role addresses critical signal degradation and power noise issues in high-speed digital designs.

What you'll do

  • Build 2.5D/3D EM models for high-speed channels, package substrates, connectors, and PCB stackups.
  • Perform time- and frequency-domain simulations for SerDes and parallel interfaces like DDR/HBM.
  • Conduct AC/DC power delivery network simulations to evaluate impedance targets, transient noise, and IR drop.
  • Provide layout constraints, stackup recommendations, and routing rules to hardware and layout teams.
  • Validate simulation models in the lab using VNAs, TDRs, BERTs, and real-time oscilloscopes.
  • Partner with hardware teams during board bring-up to debug signal degradation and power noise issues.
  • Develop Python or TCL scripts to automate simulation flows, data processing, and design checks.

What we're looking for

  • BS, MS, or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • 12+ years of practical experience in high-speed digital design, signal integrity, and power integrity.
  • Solid understanding of transmission line theory, S-parameters, crosstalk, jitter, EMI/EMC, and PDN concepts.
  • Hands-on proficiency with simulation tools such as Ansys HFSS/SiWave, Cadence Sigrity/Allegro, Keysight ADS, or HSPICE.
  • Experience simulating and analyzing high-speed interfaces including PCIe, 56G/112G/224G SerDes, DDR4/5, or HBM.
  • Proficiency in operating high-frequency test equipment like VNAs, TDRs, and high-bandwidth oscilloscopes for model-to-hardware correlation.
  • Familiarity with high-speed PCB laminates, stackups, via designs, and manufacturing trade-offs (preferred).
  • Experience writing Python or TCL scripts to automate EDA tools (preferred).
