TL;DR · Signal and Power Integrity Engineer, Hardware

Signal and Power Integrity Engineer - Hardware joins a dynamic team to develop creative signal integrity solutions for complex system design problems. The role involves modeling and optimizing components like vias, connectors, sockets, and breakouts using 3D EM tools. You will perform system-level simulations for high-speed interfaces including NVlink 200Gbs+, USB-4, PCIe5, GDDR6, and LP5X while improving models through lab measurements and methodology updates. Responsibilities include creating substrate and board layout guidelines, performing post-layout extractions, and automating data analysis using JMP or MATLAB. Required skills include expertise in electromagnetics, transmission line theory, and signal processing. You will utilize tools such as ANSYS HFSS/Q3D, SIWAVE, ADS, and Cadence Allegro to address challenges in package, PCB, ASIC, and mixed-signal circuit optimization across various high-speed signaling standards like PCIe, SATA, and HDMI.

What you'll do

  • Develop creative Signal Integrity solutions for complex system design problems.
  • Model and optimize vias, connectors, sockets, and breakout components using 3D EM tools.
  • Perform system-level signal integrity simulations for high-speed interfaces like NVLink, USB-4, PCIe5, and GDDR6.
  • Update SI models using data from lab measurements and modeling tool updates.
  • Create and review substrate and board layout SI guidelines and perform post-layout extractions.
  • Automate simulation processes and analyze data using JMP, MATLAB, or similar tools.
  • Optimize package, PCB, ASIC, and mixed-signal circuits in a cross-functional capacity.

What we're looking for

  • BS/MS in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience.
  • Minimum 2 years of industry experience.
  • Strong technical background in applied electromagnetics, transmission line theory, and signal processing.
  • Experience with signaling standards such as PCIe, USB, SATA, HDMI, HBM, DDR5, GDDR6, or LPDDR5X.
  • Proficiency with 3D modeling tools like ANSYS HFSS/Q3D, 2.5D tools like SIWAVE, or 2D tools like Ansys2D.
  • Familiarity with system-level timing and loss budgets including silicon, package, and board impairments.
  • Experience with lab measurement equipment such as VNA, TDR, DSO, and ParBERT.
  • Proficiency with software tools including ADS, Ansys Designer, JMP, MATLAB, or Cadence Allegro.
