About The Position

Perform signal and power integrity (SI/PI) analysis to optimize designs for high-speed digital circuits that meet our customers’ quality and delivery requirements.

Requirements

• BS degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering.
• Excellent communication skills (verbal and written).
• Expert user of one or more of the following EDA tools: Altium, Cadence and DxDesigner.
• Proficient in simulation tools such as HyperLynx, Ansys HFSS, Keysight ADS, or similar for SI/PI analysis.
• Ability to interpret measurement data and simulations to provide actionable insights.
• Experience with differential signaling, transmission line theory, crosstalk, impedance matching, and jitter analysis.
• Experience with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing and compliance.
• Familiarity with common high-speed standards (e.g., PCIe, DDR, USB, HDMI) and associated requirements.
• Solid understanding of power integrity, including voltage regulation, noise, and decoupling capacitors.
• Knowledge of the physical layer for high-speed signaling (PCB materials, stack-up, etc.).
• Familiarity with hardware debugging tools such as oscilloscopes, network analyzers, and TDR.

Responsibilities

• Apply independence and creativity to drive project design scope and deliverables.
• Perform SI/PI analysis to optimize designs for high-speed digital circuits.
• Conduct simulations and modeling for high-speed interconnects, PCB layouts, and power delivery networks (PDN).
• Work with cross-functional teams (design, layout, test, etc.) to address and resolve SI/PI issues throughout the product development lifecycle.
• Analyze and improve PCB layouts to meet electrical performance standards for SI/PI.
• Collaborate with engineers to design and verify PCB power distribution networks (PDNs) and ground planes for minimal noise and voltage drops.
• Develop and maintain design guidelines, best practices, and testing procedures related to SI/PI.
• Work with high-frequency tools and equipment to characterize high-speed designs, including oscilloscopes, TDRs (time-domain reflectometers), and vector network analyzers.
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex SI/PI issues, both in simulations and on physical prototypes.
• Perform EMC analysis to ensure that the designs meet regulatory standards and minimize interference.
• Work with simulation tools such as HyperLynx, Ansys HFSS, or similar for SI/PI analysis.
• Document results and communicate findings and recommendations to internal teams and stakeholders.
• Stay up to date with industry trends, best practices, and emerging technologies related to SI/PI.
