PCB design - Signal & Power Integrity Engineer

Job Description

This job is involved in developing the next generation of high speed optical and electrical connectivity networking products. This person is expected to work within teams interfacing with other engineers, technicians to complete all necessary PCB design, SI and PI tasks.The role requires close collaboration with ASIC designers, package and system validation engineers to help establish and validate system requirements and hardware specifications. The ideal candidate has a strong SI and PI design background, excellent simulation and lab measurement capability, and experience in designing and manufacturing high speed SerDes and networking products.

Responsibilities include:

• Lead pre and post-layout simulation flow with a focus on high-speed interface, PDN and develop simulation methodology
• Lead SI and PI validation methodology and develop engg. test plans.
• Use simulation and lab data to support design troubleshooting and propose corrective actions, drive failure analysis, root cause efforts, and design of experiments to resolve problems.

Minimum Qualifications

• BS in Electronics Engineering or Computer Engineering with 5+ years of experience in SIPI simulation, validation and measurement areas.
• Experience in SI and PI fundamentals, familiar with PCB/flex design and manufacturing
• Understanding of impedance control, transmission line and PDN characterization, feasibility study and create practical design guidelines
• Hands-on experience using 2D/2.5D/3D simulation tools, creation of complex SIPI models, frequency, and time domain simulation
• Familiar with electrical measurement equipment such as VNA, oscilloscope, TDR and BERT
• Experience using Cadence Sigrity, PowerSI, Ansys SIwave, Keysight ADS, 3D layout and Ansys HFSS
• Understanding of electromagnetic and transmission line theory, general I/O design, signal integrity, differential and single ended interface technologies.
• Knowledge of Printed Circuit Board (PCB) layout or electrical package design techniques.
• Familiarity with high speed interfaces such as PCIe, SATA, SAS, DDR4/5.
