Signal Integrity SpecialistMACOM's High-Performance Analog Business Unit is searching for a senior signal integrity specialist. In this capacity, high-level focus will be definition and technical guidance, through deployment, of signal integrity strategies and methodologies. This spans from front-end definition to back-end validation of broadband communications products at data rates up to and beyond 400 Gbps.
Job Description:- Drive feasibility analyses at onset of product definition phase. Evaluate and specify electrical characteristics and performance of devices and systems to determine compliance with appropriate regulating standards.
- Take cradle-to-grave ownership of products through hand-off to product engineering for production launch. This encompasses efforts to find limits of product performance as well as debugging.
- Perform detailed modeling and electrical analysis of silicon-to-silicon physical interconnects. This covers all aspects of the physical interconnect in a system context, including chip-scale to large-scale packaging, passive connectors and components, and multi-conductor transmission lines.
- Define and carry out experiments to validate modeling methodologies and to establish correlation of such to empirical data.
- Design, develop, and document interconnect solutions for internal hardware needs as well as for customer hardware reference designs.
- Identify techniques and methodologies for modeling and measurement of devices and systems. Actively lead evaluations of these.
- As part of device-level modeling efforts, either create/verify/document or guide such for IBIS-AMI models that will enable customers to assess their expected channel performance using them.
Requirements:- An ideal candidate will have a PhD degree and 6+ years of direct experience. The minimum requirement is an MSEE degree with 8+ years of pertinent experience. BSEE will be considered depending on specific relevant background and with no less than 15 years of direct experience in industry.
- Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, are required. The candidate must possess experience in creating and executing detailed yet effective technical presentations to internal groups as well as to key customers.
- Proven debug skills of devices and systems is paramount to success for this position.
- A strong understanding of basic circuit and transmission line theory is essential, as is familiarity with and a working knowledge of concurrent time and frequency-domain methods of analysis and characterization.
- Programming experience is required in Matlab, Python, and/or C++.
- Programming experience is desired with languages such as TCL, Linux shell, perl, etc...
- Expert-level knowledge and experience with 3D electro-magnetic field solvers such as Ansys HFSS, with proven ability to create models of usable bandwidth to 150 GHz is required.
- In-depth knowledge of circuit design and simulation tools such as Cadence IC Craftsman, and Agilent ADS (or Ansys Designer) is a must.
- Working experience is required in Mathworks SimuLink is helpful.
- Candidates should have a solid understanding of the scientific method and have extensive experience setting up experiments, and collecting measurement data using mainstream equipment used for characterizing high speed serial links - both electrical and optical. This includes TDR, VNA, BERT, DCA/oscilloscope, spectrum analyzers, as well as optical sources and receivers.
