📋 Description

• Develop, document, and implement design rules for ultra-high-speed signaling, ensuring power, performance, and area goals are met for products. • Analyze substrate signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI), providing feedback and collaborating with the layout team to develop optimal solutions across interposer, substrate, and PCB. • Design, document, and develop ASIC packages for high-volume, high-quality release, including post-layout extraction and reporting. • Collaborate with system partners, vendors, and design leads to achieve combined power and signal integrity and to resolve complex technical issues using advanced technology design rules. • Define the processes, methods, and tools for the design and implementation of complex ASIC/package developments. • Lead or participate in chip architecture discussions and the definition, architecture, and design of high-performance ASICs, including reviews of intricate IC and analog/mixed-signal circuit designs. • Mentor and support the signal integrity team, junior engineers, and influence packaging/hardware teams, ensuring all technical specifications and innovative solutions are met. • Develop and promote a culture of design reviews, postmortems, and continuous improvement across multi-disciplined engineering teams.

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and 8+ years of relevant signal and power integrity experience, or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering and 6+ years of relevant signal and power integrity experience, or PhD in Electrical Engineering and 3+ years of relevant signal and power integrity experience. • High-Speed Design & Theory: Expertise in high-speed design principles, including Transmission Line Theory, electromagnetics, scattering parameters, and impedance network analysis, applied to 56G PAM4 SerDes architectures, channel modeling, and BER prediction. • SI/PI Simulation Proficiency: Experience with pre- and post-layout signal and power integrity (SI/PI) simulations using industry-standard EDA tools such as Cadence Sigrity, Ansys HFSS, and Keysight ADS. • Layout Review & Physical Validation: Experience conducting detailed layout reviews and physical design validation using tools such as Cadence APD and Ansys EM flows to ensure signal performance and crosstalk mitigation. • Circuit Analysis: Working knowledge of SPICE for circuit-level analysis, signal modeling, and performance validation.
