07 - Engineer, Hardware Design

Summary

The Signal and Power Integrity (SIPI) Engineer is responsible for ensuring robust signal and power integrity in high-speed digital PCB designs. This role involves early-stage planning, simulation, and analysis of PCB layouts, as well as post-layout troubleshooting. The engineer will collaborate closely with local and global cross-function design teams to identify and resolve SIPI-related issues and contribute to design reviews of critical boards. 

Detailed Description

• Define PCB stack-up and select appropriate materials to meet electrical performance requirements.
• Build 3D passive channel models and perform electromagnetic extraction using advanced simulation tools.
• Conduct signal integrity analysis during both pre-layout and post-layout phases of R&D.
• Design and analyze multi-gigabit high-speed interfaces such as DDR, PCIe, and Ethernet.
• Perform power integrity analysis on power delivery networks to ensure stable operation.
• Generate and validate PCB layout rules; manage design constraints for layout teams.
• Collaborate with ASIC and PCB design teams to evaluate trade-offs and optimize performance, cost, and manufacturability.
• Work closely with R&D and signal test engineers to debug and resolve issues identified during testing and validation.
• Participate in design reviews, providing expert insights on SIPI-related risks and improvements.
• Coordinate with cross-functional teams across global locations to maintain design consistency and quality.
• Document simulation and analysis results clearly for communication with design and validation teams.

Knowledge/Skills/Competencies

• Experience with Keysight ADS, Power DC/SI and or Synopsys HSPICE for both time and frequency domain circuit simulation.

• Experience with 3-D field solver (ANSYS HFSS, Keysight ADS and or Cadence Clarity).

• Proficiency in Electromagnetic, Transmission-line & S-parameters theory and modeling.
