4+ years expIntel Corporation is at the forefront of silicon photonics integration and is part of The Data Center Group. They are seeking an experienced Hardware Designer to support the development of reference module designs and PIC sub-system EVB, requiring expertise in high-speed design and collaboration with cross-functional teams.
Semiconductors
Responsibilities
Perform SI simulations of high-speed interfaces, RF traces, etc. 100Gbps, 200Gbps NRZ and PAM4 signaling
Modeling of high speed traces with vias, connectors, sockets and various system components in 3D EM tools like HFSS, ADS
Design and optimize Power Delivery Network (PDN) across packages and PCBs
Perform PI sims for IR drop, current density violations, dynamic switching noise analysis to validate board designs
Expertise in designing 100G/lane and 200G/lane module PCBA, lead the layout execution for high-speed traces, power delivery, require extensive experience with designing PDN for high-speed DSP, RFICs, manage PI and SI requirements, actively guide layout engineer and manage tradeoffs in design
Ability to lead hardware design of an optical transceiver and evaluation boards including schematic design, circuit simulation, PCB layout floor planning, design with layout engineer is a plus
Lead PCB bring up working with FW engineers to confirm functionality w.r.t design targets. Validate PCB high speed designs thru product design verification tests and independent PCBA characterization. Troubleshoot and optimize performance of the sub-system/transceiver module boards
Extensive experience with selection of DSP, Driver, TIA, uControllers, DACs, ADCs, Voltage regulators, etc
Key contributor to Product Requirements, Owns PCBA design from concept phase to full final design and EVT/DVT phase of the product
Understand electrical and optical requirements and specifications of optical transceiver MSA. Like 800G DR8/2xFR4, 1.6T DR8/2xFR4, 800G LPO, 1.6T LRO etc
Maintain documentation of a hardware design specification, Pass design check list prior to tape out, BOM specifications and work with NPI team to build PCBA. Lead design reviews and present design summary to management, highlight risks with mitigation plans
Interface and work collaboratively with mechanical engineers, optical engineers, Photonics engineer, firmware engineers, process engineers and test engineers
Interact with program manager, buyer/planner and suppliers to make sure designed parts are available in a timely manner for build and test
