TL;DR · Signal and Power Integrity (SI/PI) Engineer (SMES)

The Signal and Power Integrity (SI/PI) Engineer (SMES) joins the Integrated Systems & Encryption team to ensure electrical integrity for high-speed digital and analog signals across complex PCB designs. This role involves maintaining stable power delivery to circuitry within defined performance specifications for National Security applications. Key responsibilities include performing SI/PI analysis on digital CCAs, generating layout and stack-up guidelines, developing IBIS models, and conducting power integrity analysis to minimize rail noise and voltage droop. The engineer will optimize interconnects for PCIe Gen 4/5 and DDR4/5, model SERDES interfaces, and debug designs in the lab. Required skills include expertise in transmission line theory, impedance matching, and crosstalk. Candidates must utilize tools such as HyperLynx, HFSS, and Ansys SIwave to solve complex signal quality issues.

What you'll do

  • Perform SI/PI analysis for PCB designs using tools like HyperLynx, HFSS, and SIwave.
  • Generate layout and stack-up guidelines to ensure compliance with timing and signal quality specifications.
  • Develop and validate IBIS models for accurate pre- and post-layout simulations.
  • Conduct power integrity analysis to minimize rail noise, voltage droop, and power plane resonance.
  • Ensure power delivery network stability and perform target impedance analysis across relevant frequency ranges.
  • Optimize PCB interconnects for high-speed demands including PCIe Gen 4/5 and DDR4/5.
  • Model and analyze SERDES interfaces for advanced communication systems.
  • Validate and debug designs in the lab and generate technical reports on SI/PI findings.

What we're looking for

  • Active SECRET Clearance.
  • Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering or related field with 6+ years of relevant experience.
  • Master's Degree with 4+ years of relevant experience.
  • Experience specializing in digital Circuit Card Assembly (CCA) design and SI/PI analysis using commercial tools.
  • Knowledge of transmission line theory, impedance matching, crosstalk, reflection, and jitter.
  • Familiarity with PCB fabrication and materials and how they impact high-speed digital design.
  • Experience in Aerospace / Defense (preferred).
  • U.S. citizens.
