Opportunity OverviewWe are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Signal Integrity/Power Integrity Engineer to join our team. In this role, you will leverage your expertise in high-speed electronics interfaces to perform pre-routing and post-routing simulations for cutting-edge designs. The ideal candidate will have in-depth knowledge of signal and power integrity principles, experience simulating cables and connectors, and PCBs, as well as a strong understanding of high-speed protocols such as PCIe, USB, and others. You will be responsible for documenting SI/PI performance, including clearly and concisely presenting simulation results in both written and oral formats to a variety of stakeholders, including design teams and leadership.
Key Responsibilities- Perform pre- and post-routing signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) end to end (cables, connectors traces) simulations for various critical technologies in the design (from UARTs to PCI express).
- Provide input to PCB stack-ups to ensure optimal performance, reliability and cost
- Collaborate with hardware design teams to implement changes based on simulation
- Perform lab-based correlation activities on physical hardware to connect simulations to implementation and improve quality of simulation.
- Identify and resolve SI/PI issues such as crosstalk, reflections, impedance mismatches, and power delivery noise.
- Understand and be able to compute the impact of signal integrity upon digital timing margins.
- Provide expertise in high-speed protocols, including PCIe, USB, Ethernet, and others, to ensure compliance with standards.
- Design and optimize power delivery networks (PDN) to meet system-level requirements.
- Clearly present complex simulation results and recommendations in written reports, presentations, and technical meetings.
- Stay informed on industry trends and emerging technologies in SI/PI engineering, PCB materials and high-speed interfaces.
