- Work directly with our customers, package design engineers, simulation engineers, business units, R&D, and assembly
- Provide package layer counts, stack ups, materials, impedance control, test impedance targets, and optimizing net assignments for signals
- Senior or Principal SI/PI Engineers will perform SIPI simulation/optimization to make sure critical signals meet their required specifications
- Signal integrity analysis of frequency and time domain simulations for high-speed signals and low speed signals
- Optimize single ended or differential Insertion loss, return loss, X-talk, and power sum X-talk for differential signaling groups and protocols
- IR_DROP simulation for the power rails from bumps to balls
- AC frequency sweep simulation to optimize the high RLC traces to the lower by achieving low resistance and inductance traces
- Power plane resonance to measure the resonances of the package plans
REQUIREMENTS:
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Computer Engineering or similar field
- At least 6 to 10+ years of Signal and Power Integrity (SI/PI) Engineering experience or similar
- Experience with package layout tools such as Cadence APD, SiP, or similar tools
- Experience with high-speed bus design compliance such as DDR5, PCIe5, 56 GBPS and 112 GBPS PAM4 would be ideal
- Experience working with customers, global design & simulation teams and/or EDA tool vendors is a plus
- Experience/knowledge of next generation advanced high speed package design/simulation to meet electrical performance or similar
- Strong background in the application of Electromagnetics and High-Speed Transmission Line principles related to signal and power integrity
- Proficiency in time and frequency domain modeling and use of 2D and 3D simulation tools such as Ansys HFSS, SIwave, Cadence/Sigrity, ADS
- Demonstrated and effective verbal/written communication skills
- Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills
- Ability to perform as an individual contributor and team player
- Understanding of the SI and PI associated with bump signals/ground patterns and ability to optimize the balls signal/ground placement to improve the performance is a plus but not required
