Role Posting Log in to save

The Signal Integrity and PCB Design Engineer joins the SI team to ensure boards meet demanding signal integrity requirements from early material research through high-volume manufacturing. You will lead SI design activities, including PCB stackup design, material selection, and design guide implementation. Daily responsibilities involve system-level signal integrity simulation for interfaces like PCIE, LPDDR/DDR/GDDR, MIPI, HDMI, and USB, alongside optimizing Power Delivery Networks. You will perform TDR and VNA measurements for material characterization and model correlation. Required skills include a deep understanding of electromagnetics and transmission line theory. You must be proficient with Cadence Allegro PCB designer, Constraints Manager, HFSS, Sigrity, and Hspice. This role solves complex signal integrity challenges across product lines including consumer graphics, self-driving cars, and artificial intelligence.
