Job Details

Payrate: $60.00 - $65.00/hr.

Responsibilities:
  • Support Advanced System Architectures Contribute to the electrical and physical design of complex computing systems involving GPUs, CPUs, and memory modules.
  • Focus on high-speed signal interfaces, such as memory buses and serial IO (e.g., PCIe, Ethernet).
  • Simulation & Modeling Lead the signal integrity and power integrity simulations for printed circuit boards (PCBs), packages, and connectors.
  • Perform detailed transmission line, via, and decoupling analysis.
  • Design Validation & Debug Drive pre-layout and post-layout analysis.
  • Support board bring-up, lab validation, and debug activities to ensure that real-world behavior matches simulations.
  • Factory Build Support Provide guidance during product ramp-up and factory builds, solving SI/PI-related issues that arise in production.
  • Cross-functional Collaboration Interface with PCB layout engineers, mechanical engineers, manufacturing teams, and customers.
  • Use feedback from design reviews across manufacturing, testing, and reliability to enhance future designs.
  • Toolchain Ownership Own and operate industry-standard SI tools like Sigrity, Ansys HFSS/SIwave, ADS, and HSPICE

Team Technical Stack:
  • The tech stack required for the Signal Integrity Engineer role includes advanced simulation and modeling tools such as HSPICE, Sigrity, Keysight ADS, Ansys SIwave, and HFSS for signal and power integrity analysis.
  • Proficiency in high-speed serial data standards and protocols is essential, including experience with DDR (e.g., DDR4/DDR5), PCIe, Ethernet (10G/40G/100G+), and other high-speed memory and interface technologies.
  • The role also requires strong knowledge of transmission line theory, via modeling, decoupling strategies, and experience with PCB and package-level modeling.
  • Familiarity with scripting or automation tools (such as Python or MATLAB) for data analysis and simulation workflow optimization is a plus.
  • Additionally, experience with layout review tools and CAD environments (like Cadence Allegro or Mentor Graphics) will support collaboration with PCB design teams.

Must have skills for this role:
  • The must-have skills for the Signal Integrity Engineer role include deep expertise in signal and power integrity fundamentals, strong proficiency with simulation tools such as HSPICE, Sigrity, ADS, Ansys SIwave, and HFSS, and hands-on experience in PCB and package-level modeling.
  • The candidate should have proven capability in modeling high-density I/O interfaces, performing transmission line and via analysis, and validating designs through simulation and lab measurements.
  • Experience in analyzing and resolving SI/PI issues in complex high-speed board layouts is critical, along with the ability to provide actionable feedback to PCB and system design teams.
  • A strong understanding of high-speed memory and serial interfaces (e.g., DDR, PCIe, Ethernet) is also essential.

Pay Transparency: The typical base pay for this role across the U.S. is: $60.00- $65.00/hr. Final offer amounts, within the base pay set forth above, are determined by factors including your relevant skills, education and experience and the benefits package you select. Full-time employees are eligible to select from different benefits packages. Packages may include medical, dental, and vision benefits, 10 paid days off, 401(k) plan participation, commuter benefits and life and disability insurance.
