Position: Signal Integrity Architect

We are looking for an experienced Signal Integrity Architect to develop high-performance SI solutions for advanced server applications. You will work closely with platform and cross-functional teams, leading SI definition, analysis, and verification across die, interposer, package, PCB, and system levels for data center servers.

Key Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with SoC, applications engineering, packaging, and system design teams to define and implement system interconnects for high-end servers.
• Provide guidelines on silicon timing, bump/RDL, package pinout, and PCB specifications.
• Develop customer guidelines and define module interfaces for simulation.
• Create server-grade SI models, simulations, and final designs.
• Perform early SI analysis on 2.5D/3D structures and establish design guidelines.
• Automate and update design and analysis workflows.
• Prepare and present technical documentation to stakeholders, including engineering teams, management, customers, and suppliers.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Master's degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering with a specialization in Signal Integrity.
• 6+ years of experience in SI analysis, simulation, and measurement of high-speed digital systems.
• Strong knowledge of SI fundamentals: power distribution networks, EMIR, transmission line theory, crosstalk, S-parameters, and channel simulations.
• Expertise in DDR5/LPDDR5X JEDEC standards and/or SerDes standards (PCIe, CXL, USB, Ethernet).
• Experience developing SI methodologies from die to system with lab validation.
• Proficiency with EM simulation tools such as ANSYS HFSS, Cadence Sigrity, CST, Keysight ADS, and Synopsys HSPICE.
• Hands-on experience creating SI models and performing frequency and time-domain simulations.
• Proficiency in Unix/Linux environments and scripting for EDA tools.
• Knowledge of packaging and PCB technologies and manufacturing processes.
• Familiarity with 2.5D/3D packaging technologies like CoWoS, InFo, EMIB, and RDL.
• Experience with electrical validation and compliance testing using VNA, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, PCIe/I2C analyzers, TDR, and differential probes.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in cross-functional teams.
• Strong technical documentation and communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Ph.D. in Electrical or Computer Engineering specializing in SI.
• 10+ years of SI analysis, simulation, and measurement experience.
• Deep understanding of electromagnetics and transmission line theory.
• Experience with DDR5 and LPDDR5X timing, jitter analysis, and PHY design.
• SI simulation experience for PCIe Gen6+ and multi-gigabit serial buses (112Gbps+), UCIE.
• Experience with Cadence Allegro for package and PCB design.
• Scripting skills in MATLAB, Perl, and Python.
