About the job

As a Signal and Power Integrity Engineer, you will be involved in the early stages of project planning and development (e.g., component selection, feasibility study, etc.). You will define Printed Circuit Board (PCB) stack-up and explore solution space through pre-layout simulation to set routing strategy for both signal integrity and power integrity. You'll define Power Delivery Network (PDN) requirements, set constraints for PCB layout, review the layout, and be involved in lab validation and correlation with simulation. You will work with a team of electrical, mechanical, and layout engineers to provide design guidance for high speed PCB ensuring signal and power integrity and electromagnetic interference for products.
