We are seeking an experienced System Signal Integrity and Power Integrity Engineer Lead to solve complex, high-impact integrity challenges in next-generation AI compute systems. This role is focused on deep technical analysis and hands-on problem solving across high-speed interfaces, power delivery networks, rigid and flex interconnects, and advanced packaging.

The ideal candidate is a technical expert engaged to resolve difficult SI/PI problems spanning silicon, package, PCB, flex, and connector domains.

Key Responsibilities:
- Solve complex signal integrity and power integrity problems for high-speed AI compute platforms, including chip-to-chip and chip-to-board interfaces.
- Perform advanced pre-layout and post-layout SI/PI analysis across PCBs, flex circuits, rigid-flex assemblies, connectors, and advanced packages.
- Lead root-cause analysis of challenging SI/PI issues such as margin shortfalls, impedance discontinuities, coupling, resonances, and simulation-to-hardware mismatches.
- Analyze and resolve SI/PI challenges associated with flex circuits, high-speed flex connectors, interposers, and advanced packaging technologies.
- Analyze and troubleshoot power delivery networks using DC and AC simulations and hardware correlation to resolve performance and stability issues.
- Define and refine PCB, rigid-flex, and flex circuit stack-ups, material selections, and impedance structures as required to meet performance targets.
- Review schematics, PCB layouts, and flex designs to identify SI/PI risks and recommend targeted design changes.
- Work closely with silicon and package design teams to resolve SI/PI issues related to bump/ball assignments, package-to-PCB transitions, and interface interactions.
- Act as a technical escalation point for complex SI/PI issues across multiple programs.

Minimum Qualifications:
- Master's degree in Electrical Engineering.
- 15+ years of demonstrated depth of expertise in system-level signal integrity and power integrity engineering for high-speed hardware systems.

Required Experience and Skills:
- Deep expertise in high-speed serial and parallel interface analysis and debug.
- Strong hands-on experience with PCB, rigid-flex, and flex circuit stack-up design and analysis.
- Advanced SI/PI analysis of flex connectors, high-density interconnects, and advanced packaging technologies.
- Proficiency with 2D and 3D electromagnetic simulation tools.
- Power delivery network analysis, simulation, and lab correlation at the system level.
- Strong grounding in transmission line theory, microwave engineering, and high-speed design fundamentals.
- Proven ability to correlate simulation results with hardware behavior and drive concrete design fixes.

-Experience working on server hardware, AI accelerators, hardware accelerator, datacenter, AI Hardware, enterprise product, GPU, CPU, TPU, server platform etc.

Additional Information:
- Experience with large-scale AI or high-performance compute systems is preferred.
