Manager Ii R&D / Product DVL Engineering - Signal Integrity

As a manager in the Signal Integrity team you will lead the SI engineers focusing on aspects of electrical design, simulation, and verification-validation testing of high speed products in the connector and/or cable assembly, radio system industrytargeting high speed communications and connectivity within datacenters and wireless infrastructure. You will be expected to drive development teams in the areas of signal integrity for product and system design including modeling, simulation, testing and circuit board layout.

You will work collaboratively within a broader cross functional team of mechanical, manufacturing, & operations to execute leading edge products designs. You will assign resources to work on the signal integrity performance of a product/platform beginning with the initial analysis through prototype fabrication & evaluation, and production verification testing. You will be expected to coordinate to drive the advancement of simulation tools and capabilities, identifying potential areas of process improvement, and solving complex problems and ensuring product development success.
