On-siteFinance$200k–$300k/yrFull-time
Responsibilities
- Develop creative signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) solutions for complex system design challenges
- Analyze and guide high-speed PCB, BGA, and advanced package designs from 28+ Gbps through the latest signaling technologies
- Run system-level SI simulations for high-speed SERDES links, and model, optimize, and validate vias, connectors, sockets, breakouts, stackups, routing, and package interfaces using 3D EM and circuit simulation tools
- Drive substrate and board-layout SI guidelines, post-layout extraction and analysis, and ongoing improvement of models and methodologies against lab measurements
- Analyze and guide power delivery for ASICs drawing 500+ amps, including static/DC and dynamic/AC analysis across the full power train — PSUs, cables, connectors, voltage regulators, PCBs, capacitor networks, packages, and dies
- Automate simulation, data gathering, analysis, and visualization workflows
- Partner with external design and layout vendors on requirements, deliverables, and tradeoffs, and collaborate with internal electrical, mechanical, package, layout, manufacturing, and validation teams throughout the lifecycle
Qualifications
- MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
- Experience in signal integrity, power integrity, or both for high-performance electronic systems
- Strong fundamentals in electromagnetics, transmission lines, and PCB/package design
- Experience with high-speed SERDES links, including at least 28+ Gbps signaling; PAM4 at 56/112+ Gbps is preferred
- Experience with high-current (>500 amp) ASIC power supply design
- Proficiency with SI/PI CAE and circuit-simulation tools
- Experience with relevant SI/PI tools such as HFSS, SIwave, Clarity 3D, Sigrity, ADS, SPICE, SIMPLIS, or MATLAB
- Python programming or scripting automation experience for analysis, validation, or debugging
- Ability to translate analysis results into robust, manufacturable PCB and package designs
- Strong collaboration and communication skills, including experience working with external design partners
- Experience with 2.5D packages, board/package layout, or PDN evaluation is preferred
- Familiarity with lab measurement equipment, including VNAs, TDRs, and high-speed oscilloscopes is preferred
