Qualifications
ResponsibilitiesConduct pre-layout and post-layout Signal Integrity simulations for high-speed interfaces (DDR4/5, PCIe Gen3/4, USB 3.x, MIPI CSI/DSI). Model and optimize power distribution networks (PDN), focusing on decoupling strategies, plane resonance, and target impedance. Create channel models for SerDes links, perform eye diagram analyses, and assess compliance margins. Define PCB stackup, impedance profiles, and routing constraints in collaboration with layout engineers. Execute bench-level measurements using oscilloscopes, VNAs, TDR, and spectrum analyzers to correlate simulations with hardware performance. Identify and mitigate electromagnetic interference issues at both board and system levels, supporting regulatory certification. Develop and maintain SI/PI design guidelines and constraints for the hardware team. RequirementsEducation: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, with a specialization in electromagnetics, RF, or signal integrity. Tool Proficiency: Proficient in SI/PI tools such as Ansys HFSS, Keysight ADS/PathWave, Cadence Sigrity, or Simbeor. Experience: Familiarity with high-speed design methodologies.
