TL;DR · Signal and Power Integrity Engineer, SIO Interface

As a Signal and Power Integrity Engineer - SIO Interface, you will join the team developing SOCs used within Apple devices. You are responsible for high-speed serial interface signal integrity and power integrity across silicon, package, and board levels. Your daily work involves the electrical and physical design of high-speed serial systems, including extraction and validation of packages and PCBs. You will collaborate with circuit design teams and vendors to optimize modeling, simulation, and characterization of interfaces like USB and PCIe. Key tasks include performing 3D model extractions for components such as interposers, substrates, connectors, and cables while developing test plans to validate results. To succeed, you must possess expertise in transmission line theory, 2D/3D EM simulation tools, and lab equipment including VNA, TDR, real-time scopes, and spectrum analyzers to ensure optimal performance.

What you'll do

  • Perform signal and power integrity analysis for high-speed serial interfaces from silicon to package to board.
  • Execute 3D model extractions and simulations to optimize, verify, and validate channel components like PCBs and connectors.
  • Define and implement technical specifications for high-speed interface designs.
  • Drive co-design across SOCs, packages, and systems to meet specific product performance KPIs.
  • Develop and execute test plans to validate signal and power integrity results.
  • Collaborate with circuit design teams and vendors to optimize SI/PI modeling and characterization.
  • Debug and improve product yield in coordination with product and system engineering teams.

What we're looking for

  • A bachelor's degree is required.
  • Prior design and modeling experience with USB, PCIe, or comparable interfaces is a must-have.
  • PhD in a relevant field (preferred).
  • BS and 5+ years or MS and 3+ years of relevant industry experience (preferred).
  • Familiarity with signal and power integrity issues of high speed serial interfaces (preferred).
  • Experience with product package/board design, SI/PI methodology development, and lab correlation/validation (preferred).
  • Familiarity with lab equipment such as VNA, TDR, real-time scope, and spectrum analyzers (preferred).
  • Strong fundamentals in 3D/2D EM simulation tools and transmission line theory (preferred).
