Responsibilities

Perform detailed signal integrity (SI) simulations using tools such as HyperLynx, HFSS, or CST to identify and resolve issues related to crosstalk, signal loss, reflections, and other performance degradations in high-speed designs

Analyze PCB layout designs to ensure optimal signal performance, providing feedback and recommendations to layout and hardware design teams

Collaborate with hardware engineers to optimize high-speed signal paths, ensuring adherence to specifications for interfaces like DDR, PCIe, USB, SerDes, and Ethernet

Evaluate and validate signal integrity for power delivery networks (PDN) to minimize noise, ground bounce, and power/ground integrity issues

Work closely with PCB layout, hardware, and mechanical teams to ensure design choices align with signal integrity best practices

Partner with systems engineering and software teams to ensure signal integrity across the entire product stack, from silicon to system integration

Develop and implement test strategies for verifying signal integrity on prototypes and final products using tools like oscilloscopes, vector network analyzers (VNA), and time domain reflectometry (TDR)

Create and maintain signal integrity design guidelines, best practices, and checklists to support hardware engineers throughout the product development lifecycle

Lead the evaluation of new materials, design techniques, and tools that enhance signal integrity, proposing innovations that improve overall system performance

Diagnose and resolve SI issues during the bring-up phase of new products, ensuring minimal impact on time-to-market
