Senior Staff Signal Integrity Engineer

About the role

At AMD, you will be responsible for ensuring that AMD's next-generation products deliver industry-leading reliability, performance, and efficiency. This role involves analyzing, modeling and validating the complex interconnects of high-speed Serializer/De-serializer (SerDes) channels, High speed memories like LPDDR4/5x/6, DDR5, PCIe Gen 5/6 etc., and 400/800/1600Gbps Ethernet links. You will be providing guidelines to board layout teams based on SI and Power simulations and for high-speed structures.

Responsibilities

• Model and simulate the end-to-end high-speed channels including transceivers, IC package, PCB and cross-boards connectors/cables
• Utilize industry-standard tools and methodologies to perform a variety of time/frequency domain signal integrity analysis (IBIS-AMI, SPICE, full-wave EM analysis, etc)
• Identify the link quality such as loss, reflection and crosstalk, and resolve the issues
• Conduct channel-simulations to optimize Eye Diagram, Bit Error Rate (BER) and Signal-Noise-Ratio (SNR) for high-speed signaling in a complex system
• Interpret the simulation results to provide the design guidelines on board materials, stack-up, transmission line routings, component placement and layout optimization
• Review PCB layout and board material/stack-up, identify the potential signal integrity and power integrity issues, and propose the solutions
• Support lab validation and debugging to correlate with the simulation data
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to drive product development while keeping projects on schedule and within scope

Requirements

• Strong experience in high-speed signal integrity engineering
• Proficiency in SI simulation tools (Keysight ADS, Cadence Sigrity, Ansys HFSS)
• Strong expertise in high-speed architecture, interconnects and PCB/package design
• Knowledge of high-speed interfaces (PCIe, Ethernet, DDR, etc.)
• Familiarity with MATLAB or Python for data analysis and automation
• Hands-on experience with lab testing tools (TDR, VNA, high-speed oscilloscopes)
• Excellent problem-solving and cross-functional collaboration skills

Qualifications

• Masters or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field

Skills

• High-speed signal integrity engineering
• SI simulation tools proficiency (Keysight ADS, Cadence Sigrity, Ansys HFSS)
• High-speed architecture, interconnects, and PCB/package design knowledge
• High-speed interface understanding (PCIe, Ethernet, DDR, etc.)
• Data analysis and automation using MATLAB or Python
• Labs testing tools experience (TDR, VNA, high-speed oscilloscopes)
• Problem-solving and cross-functional collaboration skills
