Requirements
- PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Experience in any signal integrity domain of electrical engineering through internships, academic research, or publications.
- Experience with Allegro, Matlab, and two or more of the simulation tools: HFSS, Clarity, ADS and Sigrity.
Nice To Haves
- Experience with SerDes testing in a lab setting, and familiarity with Ethernet, PCIE, and DDR standards.
- Understanding of SERDES capabilities, and of FEC and its implications for system design.
- Understanding product development process for mass volume production design, with a focus on signal integrity and lab validation.
- Familiar with lab measurement tool (e.g., Vector Network Analyzer (VNA)).
- Understanding of PCB, connector, or cable design and assembly processes, including materials and component selection.
Responsibilities
- Collaborate with electrical engineers, system engineers, design partners and vendors, to drive system SI design, explore layout and manufacturability tradeoffs, and ensure that product functions as required.
- Perform full-wave 3D Electromagnetic (EM) simulations for PCB critical transitions, including vias, connectors, and package-to-board interfaces to improve channel performance.
- Develop and validate system serial link models for pre-layout and post layout SI analysis.
- Manage system interconnect brings up and qualification, including configuring SerDes (Serializer/Deserializer) settings to ensure adequate margin.
- Work with SerDes Physical IP, package, board, connector, and cable vendors to develop new interconnect technologies.
