The role involves owning high-speed signal integrity analysis, simulation, measurement, and design for enterprise SSD hardware, collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure robust performance and guiding junior engineers in a fast-paced, innovative environment.
Key Responsibilities
Own high-speed signal integrity analysis, simulation, and measurement for SSD hardware from architecture through production.
Drive board-level SI decisions, including PCB material selection, via structures, loss tradeoffs, stackup definition, and channel optimization.
Perform SI simulations such as insertion loss, return loss, crosstalk, and impedance profiles.
Lead TDR and S-parameter measurements, including setup, calibration, and de-embedding.
Perform 3D-EM extraction and simulation for vias, connectors, and complex channel structures.
Correlate simulation results with lab measurements to refine models and design assumptions.
Use and customize IBIS and IBIS-AMI models for PCIe, NAND, and DDR channel analysis.
Conduct high-speed signal eye diagram and margin analysis.
Support debug activities related to signal integrity issues.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure robust SI solutions.
Document SI design guidelines and best practices for scalable, repeatable designs.
Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers.
Requirements
5 years of experience in Signal Integrity engineering for high-speed systems.
B.S. in Electrical or Computer Engineering.
Strong SI simulation experience, including channel analysis, eye simulations, jitter, and margin analysis, with a focus on PCIe; experience with NAND and DDR is a plus.
Hands-on TDR and S-parameter measurement experience, including measurement setup, calibration, and de-embedding.
Strong understanding of PCB design from an SI perspective, including materials, stackups, and via structures.
Deep experience with Simbeor 3D-EM extraction and simulation for vias, connectors, and complex channel structures.
