TL;DR · Signal and Power Integrity Engineer

As a Signal and Power Integrity Engineer - New College Grad 2026, you will join a dynamic team to develop creative signal integrity solutions for complex system design problems. Your daily responsibilities include modeling and optimizing components like vias, connectors, and sockets using 3D EM tools while performing system-level simulations for high-speed interfaces including NVlink, USB-4, PCIe5, and GDDR6. You will improve SI models using lab measurements, create layout guidelines, and perform simulation automation and data visualization. The role requires expertise in electromagnetics, transmission line theory, and signal processing. You will utilize tools such as ANSYS HFSS, Q3D, Siwave, ADS, JMP, MATLAB, and Cadence Allegro. Proficiency in Python for scripting and experience with VNA, TDR, and DSO hardware are essential to solve challenges in package, PCB, ASIC, and mixed-signal circuit optimization.

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 based on lab measurement data and modeling tool updates.
  • Create and review substrate and board layout SI guidelines.
  • Automate simulation processes and perform data analysis using JMP or MATLAB.
  • Optimize package, PCB, ASIC, and mixed-signal circuits in a cross-functional capacity.

What we're looking for

  • Must have an MS and/or PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering or equivalent experience.
  • Strong technical background in applied electromagnetics, waveguides, transmission line theory, and signal processing.
  • Familiarity with signal and power integrity concepts, design, and analysis.
  • Experience with 3D modeling tools such as ANSYS HFSS, Q3D, SIWAVE, or similar.
  • Proficiency with lab equipment including VNA, TDR, DSO, and ParBERT.
  • Experience with software tools like ADS, Ansys Designer, JMP, Matlab, and Cadence Allegro.
  • Scripting skills for data post-processing, tool development, and process automation.
  • Knowledge of Python programming language is preferred.
