Responsibilities

• Perform pre-layout and post-layout signal integrity simulation for high-speed interfaces, including DDR4/DDR5, PCIe Gen3–Gen5, and 100G/400G/800G Ethernet.
• Evaluate channel loss, PCB material, stack-up, IC placement, and routing constraints during the early design stage.
• Build and analyze end-to-end channel models, including PCB traces, vias, connectors, cables, packages, and IC models.
• Optimize high-speed channel structures, including vias, anti-pads, connector launches, cables, and routing topology.
• Analyze insertion loss, return loss, crosstalk, impedance discontinuity, jitter, eye diagram, and BER performance.
• Define PCB layout guidelines and routing constraints for high-speed interfaces.
• Work with EE, layout, mechanical, vendor, and validation teams to review designs and resolve SI issues.
• Support simulation-to-measurement correlation using VNA, TDR, oscilloscope, BERT, or compliance test results.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or above in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in high-speed signal integrity simulation and PCB channel design.

• Familiar with high-speed interfaces, including:
• DDR4,DDR5
• PCIe up to Gen5
• IEEE 802.3by / 802.3bm / 802.3bs / 802.3cd,100G / 400G / 800G Ethernet
• Strong understanding of high-speed channel behavior, including insertion loss, return loss, crosstalk, impedance discontinuity, jitter, eye diagram, and BER.
• Ability to define practical PCB routing constraints and provide design recommendations.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with 25G / 56G / 112G SerDes channel design.
• Experience with switch, router, server, NIC, AI server, or high-speed backplane products.
