High-Speed Signal Integrity Engineer
About The Position
AMD is seeking a dynamic and motivated Signal Integrity Engineer to join its Server Platform Signal and Power Integrity (SIPI) team. As part of the Server Platform organization, the engineer will support the development of next-generation server and AI platforms through high-speed interface design, simulation, validation, and analysis. The role works alongside experienced engineers to help ensure robust signal integrity performance across AMD technologies and products. The Systems Design Engineering team promotes technical innovation, continuous learning, and career growth while delivering high-quality, high-performance solutions. The ideal candidate is passionate about high-speed digital design, electromagnetic fundamentals, and system-level engineering; eager to learn; detail-oriented; and effective in a collaborative, cross-functional environment. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills and an interest in developing signal integrity expertise are important. The position is located in Santa Clara, California, and is not eligible for visa sponsorship. AMD states that benefits are described in its “AMD benefits at a glance” materials; specific benefits are not listed in this posting. This posting is for an existing vacancy.
Requirements
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electromagnetics, or a related technical field.
- Fundamental understanding of signal integrity, transmission lines, electromagnetic theory, and high-speed digital design concepts.
- Strong analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across global engineering teams.
Nice To Haves
- Familiarity with signal integrity simulation and analysis tools such as Cadence Sigrity, Ansys HFSS, Ansys SIwave, Keysight ADS, or equivalent tools.
- Experience with programming or scripting languages such as Python, MATLAB, Perl, or C++.
- Knowledge of networking fundamentals and high-speed communication protocols such as PCIe, DDR, Ethernet, USB, or similar technologies.
- Experience using laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, vector network analyzers (VNA), TDRs, and spectrum analyzers.
