Description

Collaborate with SoC, applications engineering, packaging, and system design teams to define and implement system interconnects that meet the unique demands of high-end server environments. Provide guidelines and feedback on silicon timing, bump/RDL, package pinout and PCB specifications. Develop customer guidelines and define module interfaces/formats for simulation. Lead the creation of server-grade SI models, simulations, and final designs. Perform early SI analysis on 2.5D/3D structures and establish design guidelines. Update and automate design and analysis flows. Prepare and present technical documentation and reports to stakeholders, including engineering teams, senior management, customers, and suppliers. Master's degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering, with a specialization in Signal Integrity (SI). 6+ years of experience in SI analysis, simulation, and measurement of high-speed digital systems. Strong knowledge of SI fundamentals, including power distribution networks (PDN), EMIR, transmission line theory, crosstalk, S-parameters, and channel simulations. Expertise in DDR5/LPDDR5X JEDEC specifications and/or SerDes standards (PCIe, CXL, USB, Ethernet, etc.). Experience in developing SI methodologies from die to system, with lab correlation and validation. Proficiency with 2D/2.5D/3D EM simulation tools such as ANSYS HFSS Cadence Sigrity, Dassault Systèmes CST, Keysight ADS, and Synopsys' HSPICE. Hands-on experience creating complex SI models and performing both frequency and time-domain simulations. Proficiency in Unix/Linux environments and experience with EDA tools through scripting. Strong knowledge of packaging and PCB technologies, design, and manufacturing processes. Familiarity with 2.5D/3D packaging technologies, such as CoWoS, InFo, EMIB, and RDL. Hands-on experience with electrical validation and compliance testing using tools like VNAs, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, PCIe/I2C analyzers, traffic generators, TDR, and differential probes. Proven ability to work independently and collaboratively within a cross-functional team environment. Strong technical documentation skills and excellent written and verbal communication. Ph.D. in Electrical or Computer Engineering, specializing in SI. 10+ years of experience in SI analysis, simulation, and measurement of high-speed digital systems. In-depth understanding of computational electromagnetics and transmission line theory. Proficiency in DDR5 and LPDDR5X timing budgets, jitter analysis, and PHY design/link analysis. Experience with SI simulation for PCIe Gen6+, multi-gigabit serial buses (112Gbps+), UCIE, etc. Experience with package and PCB design tools such as Cadence Allegro. Proficiency in scripting with MATLAB, Perl, and Python Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 8+ years of Systems Engineering or related work experience. OR Master's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 7+ years of Systems Engineering or related work experience. OR PhD in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 6+ years of Systems Engineering or related work experience.
