Signal Integrity Engineer (SI / PI)

Position Overview

As a Sr. Staff signal integrity engineer, you will be working on challenging SI and PI tasks in globally distributed teams. You will be supporting SI/PI signoff of chip design, package design and PCB design in order to support successful delivery of products of various product lines to market. You will be working with design, test, P&R and application teams globally for modeling of chip high speed I/O and power rails. You will be supporting customers in signing off hardware design or resolving SI/PI issues where system design has constraints. You will also be involved in defining specifications of product electrical performance. You may also be involved in modeling and simulation of EMC issues.
