Ideal candidate

Hands-on hardware engineer who loves owning electrical margins end to end, from early architecture to lab debug, and thrives correlating simulations to real measurements with PCB and ASIC teams.

Requirements

  • B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering or a closely related discipline
  • 5+ years of hands-on SI/PI experience on high-speed designs (>1 Gbps serial links or DDR4/5 and HBM3/4 memory interfaces)
  • Proficiency with industry SI/PI EDA tools (Cadence Sigrity, Ansys SIwave/HFSS, Keysight ADS, or equivalent)
  • Strong understanding of transmission line theory, return-loss, insertion-loss, crosstalk, eye-diagram analysis, and jitter decomposition
  • Experience with PDN modelling, target impedance methodology, and DC IR analysis
  • Working knowledge of multi-layer PCB stack-up design and controlled-impedance trace routing
  • Hands-on lab skills: S-parameter measurements with VNA, time-domain reflectometry (TDR), BERT operation, and oscilloscope probing techniques
