Full Job Description
Signal Integrity and Power Integrity (SIPI) Engineers at Meta design, analyze, and validate SIPI aspects of electrical systems for next-generation hardware products and platforms. They collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and external partners to deliver robust, high-performance solutions from concept through deployment, ensuring Meta's hardware meets the highest standards for performance, reliability, and electromagnetic compatibility across both product and infrastructure domains. In this high-impact role, you will lead system-level SI/PI design, simulation, and validation efforts-transforming concepts into industry-leading products. Your expertise will directly influence every stage of the design process, from simulation and automation development to hands-on lab validation, ensuring our devices set new standards for electromagnetic compatibility and performance.

Responsibilities

Perform Signal Integrity analysis, collaborating with different engineering teams to balance system/product constraints with MIPI CPHY, DPHY, MPHY, PCIE, USB and high speed clocks.
• Perform pre-layout and post-layout simulation flow with a focus on PDN.
• Create simulation models and develop simulation methodology for SIPI design.
• Stackup review and layer assignment for High speed and PDN.
• Lead SIPI validation methodology and develop detailed engineering test plans.
• Validate PDN impedance in lab to correlate simulation results and improve design flow.
• Use simulation and lab data to support design troubleshooting and propose corrective actions, drive failure analysis, root cause efforts, and design of experiments to resolve problems.
• Analyze chip/package/PCB PDNs and make design trade-offs and negotiate power budgets.
• Provide design specifications and guidelines with clear risk tradeoffs to our cross-functional partners.
• Explore various design elements including different sensors, modules, memories, low/high speed buses, cables, connectors, flexible and rigid PCBs (FLEX), their physics of operation, and impacts on system performance.
• Provide system SI design guidance and perform post-layout review and optimization.
• Work closely with silicon team, EE design team and PCB layout team to optimize SI design based on the simulation data;.
• Use simulation and lab data to support design troubleshooting and propose corrective actions, drive failure analysis, root cause efforts, and design of experiments to resolve problems.
• Generate simulation reports based on the data and communicate with Cross-functional teams with clear SI recommendations.

Minimum Qualifications
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• 6+ years of experience in SIPI simulation, measurement, or electrical design or a relevant technical field
• Experience and understanding of EM fundamentals and with EM simulation tools. Solid experience using Cadence Sigrity, PowerDC, PowerSI, OptimizePI, Ansys SIwave, Keysight ADS, 3D layout and Ansys HFSS
• Familiarity with PCB and flex design and manufacture process
• Experience delivering a product into manufacturing

Preferred Qualifications
• Master's in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• Experience working on ambiguous requirements and can create highly constrained solutions into high-volume consumer electronics products
• Experience using different instruments such as network analyzer, oscilloscope, signal generator, scope and other related test equipment to measure the eye-diagram and power ripple noise
• Experience working with cross functionally on multiple projects with internal teams and external vendors
• Experience with SI/PI design background, Proven track record of success in simulation and lab measurement experience, experience in designing and manufacturing consumer technology products
• Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
