Position: Signal Integrity EngineerLocation: Hampton, NHArdent Concepts, an Amphenol company, is a leading designer and manufacturer of high performance multicoax and coaxial interconnect assemblies, connectors, and interfaces used in the development of next generation semiconductors, quantum computers, and electronics systems. Ardent was built on core technologies that yield the smallest, fastest, and most electrically efficient compression mount connector interfaces worldwide. As data rate requirements increase and devices and systems shrink, Ardent's products deliver superior signal integrity in a dense footprint that can be reusable across programs to maximize cost savings.
Our focus is on helping bring next generation computing to market through novel connector designs for test & measurement, OEM applications, and specialized military applications. Ardent's patented contact technologies are well suited for advanced multi-GHz applications such as board stack connectors, coaxial connectors, FPGA sockets, flex circuit connectors, probe interfaces, and mezzanine card connectors. We have a complete line of high-performance interfaces for the most advanced chipsets such as RF devices, ASICS, switches, processors, and MEMS devices. We support chip to chip, chip to board, board to board, and flex to board applications.
We are currently seeking a Signal Integrity Engineer to join our team and lead the Ardent SI community and help drive new product development. Ardent has experienced explosive growth in the last 5 years and it is imperative that we stay ahead of the technology requirement in interconnect. This position is located in our Hampton Beach, NH office.
