Sr. Signal Integrity/Power Integrity Engineer

About the Role

As a Sr. Signal Integrity/Power Integrity Engineer in our Networking Technology & Solutions Group (NTSG), you will be responsible for ensuring that AMD’s next-generation products deliver industry-leading reliability, performance, and efficiency. This role involves designing, analyzing, modeling, and validating complex systems with high-speed channels and high-power components.

In this role, you will closely collaborate with the Silicon IP team, ASIC packaging team, PCB design team, System Architect, and external partners/suppliers to meet the most demanding signal/power integrity requirements while ensuring manufacturability.

Responsibilities

• Model and simulate the end-to-end high-speed channels including transceivers, IC package, PCB, and cross-board 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 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 across complex systems.
• Perform Channel Operation Margin (COM) analysis to validate the channel health for IEEE compliance.
• Exercise Design of Experiments (DOE) sweeping to statistically evaluate signal integrity qualities across process variations, such as silicon corners, trace impedance, routing length, terminations, etc.
• Interpret simulation results to provide design guidelines on board materials, stack-up, transmission line routings, component placement, and layout optimization.
• Work on critical circuits (especially reference clocks and high-speed signals) to ensure signal integrity and power integrity.
• Drive PCB physical design, create PCB stack-up, generate PCB design rules, review PCB layout, identify potential signal integrity and power integrity issues, and propose solutions.
• Support lab validation and debugging to correlate with simulation data.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to drive product development while keeping projects on schedule and within scope.
• Stay at the forefront of signal integrity and power integrity innovations and high-speed design technologies, ensuring that AMD continues to lead the industry.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in high-speed signal integrity and power integrity engineering fields.
• Strong background in PCB and package design for signal integrity and power integrity.
• Strong expertise in high-speed architecture, interconnects, and PCB/package design.
• Deep knowledge of high-speed interfaces (PCIe, Ethernet, DDR, etc.).
• Proficiency in SI/PI simulation tools (Keysight ADS, Cadence Sigrity, Ansys HFSS).
• Familiarity with MATLAB or Python for data analysis and automation.
• Hands-on experience with lab testing tools (TDR, VNA, High-Speed Oscilloscopes, Spectrum Analyzer).
• Excellent problem-solving and cross-functional collaboration skills.
• Master’s or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related fields.
