Senior Staff Signal Integrity Engineer
About The Position
At AMD, the mission is to build products that accelerate next-generation computing experiences across AI, data centers, PCs, gaming, and embedded systems, fostering a culture of innovation, collaboration, and diversity. The company aims to solve important challenges through bold ideas and human ingenuity. As a Signal Integrity Engineer within the Adaptive and Embedded Computing Group (AECG), the role involves ensuring the reliability, performance, and efficiency of AMD’s next-generation products. This includes analyzing, modeling, and validating complex interconnects for high-speed Serializer/De-serializer (SerDes) channels @56/64/112/128/224+ Gbps, high-speed memories like LPDDR4/5x/6, DDR5, PCIe Gen 5/6 etc., and 400/800/1600Gbps Ethernet links. The engineer will also provide guidelines to board layout teams based on Signal Integrity (SI) and Power simulations for high-speed structures. In this role, you will closely collaborate with Board HW designers, HW architects, IC packaging team, PCB team, and external partners/suppliers to ensure first time success of the system/board products.
Requirements
- Strong experience in high-speed signal integrity engineering
- Proficiency in SI simulation tools (Keysight ADS, Cadence Sigrity, Ansys HFSS)
- Strong expertise in high-speed architecture, interconnects and PCB/package design
- Knowledge of high-speed interfaces (PCIe, Ethernet, DDR, etc.)
- Familiarity with MATLAB or Python for data analysis and automation
- Hands-on experience with lab testing tools (TDR, VNA, high-speed oscilloscopes)
- Excellent problem-solving and cross-functional collaboration skills
- Masters or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
Responsibilities
- Model and simulate the end-to-end high-speed channels including transceivers, IC package, PCB and cross-boards connectors/cables
- Utilize industry-standard tools and methodologies to perform a variety of time/frequency domain signal integrity analysis (IBIS-AMI, SPICE, full-wave EM analysis, etc)
- Identify the link quality such as loss, reflection and crosstalk, and resolve the issues
- Conduct channel-simulations to optimize Eye Diagram, Bit Error Rate (BER) and Signal-Noise-Ratio (SNR) for high-speed signaling in a complex system.
- Interpret the simulation results to provide the design guidelines on board materials, stack-up, transmission line routings, component placement and layout optimization
- Review PCB layout and board material/stack-up, identify the potential signal integrity and power integrity issues, and propose the solutions
- Support lab validation and debugging to correlate with the simulation data
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to drive product development while keeping projects on schedule and within scope.
