Responsibilities
- Perform Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI) analysis for high-speed digital interfaces, including DDR4, DDR5, MIPI, USB, and other high-speed communication protocols.
- Develop simulation models to evaluate channel performance, impedance discontinuities, crosstalk, timing margins, power delivery networks, and electromagnetic compatibility.
- Support simulation sign-off activities and provide design recommendations to improve electrical performance and robustness.
- Conduct pre-layout and post-layout analyses for PCB and package designs.
- Develop and validate electrical simulation models that predict system performance under varying operating conditions.
- Apply electromagnetic, circuit, and system-level simulation techniques to support product design optimization and risk reduction.
- Contribute to virtual prototyping initiatives to reduce design iterations and accelerate product development.
- Perform trade studies and sensitivity analyses to support engineering decision-making.
- Collaborate with hardware, firmware, systems, reliability, and manufacturing engineering teams to identify and resolve performance issues.
- Present simulation findings and design recommendations to technical stakeholders.
- Maintain complete and accurate documentation of simulation methodologies, assumptions, validation activities, and results.
- Follow applicable quality system requirements, SOPs, and GxP regulations.
- Support regulatory submissions and product verification activities through simulation-based analyses when appropriate.
- Support design reviews and verification activities with simulation-based evidence.
