  • Customer focused.


Knowledge/Skills/Competencies

  • PCB design fundamentals (single ended and differential signals)
  • Signal loss • Impedance control • Crosstalk (near end and far end)
  • Experienced with single-ended and differential signaling up to 50Gbps
  • Experienced working with component models (touchstone files) and cascading models to generate complete system models for simulation
  • Simulation of digital interfaces (FPGA to DRAM, SERDES interfaces)
  • Simulation of analog paths through a combination of PCB, connector, and cable (signal driver to DUT)
  • Proficient with 2D and 3D simulation tools (examples include ADS, ANSYS HFSS, Sigrity)
  • Electrical length calculations for signal matching
  • Familiar with looking at signals in both frequency (S-parameter) and time domain and understand how to interpret results when it comes to suitability for a particular application.
  • Very familiar with generating and interpreting data-eye diagrams up to 50Gbps: NRZ and PAM4
  • Proficient with Allegro or similar layout tool and schematics
  • PCB Stack up design and familiar with fabrication limitations and cost trade-offs
  • High Frequency board material experience
  • Significant experience with measuring signal performance in the lab: TDR measurements and VNA measurements
  • Able to develop test fixtures for making measurements (both custom design test boards as well as making "ad hoc" probing solutions to troubleshoot existing PCBs)
  • Expert in cost vs performance tradeoffs when designing signal paths as cost is key design constraint
  • Experience with flex circuit design for high speed signaling Education
