Signal Integrity Engineer Fastwater Staffing

Summary Client is seeking a highly motivated and self-driven candidate qualified for the position of Signal Integrity Engineer to help design and build market leading Hardware Platform Solutions. Knowledge/Skills/Competencies Experience on complex PCBAs (36+ layers) PCB design fundamentals (single ended and differential signals), Signal loss, Impedance control, and Crosstalk (near end and far end) Experienced with single-ended and differential signaling up to 50Gbps Experienced working with component models (touchstone files) and cascading models to generate complete system models for simulation Simulation of digital interfaces ( FPGA to DRAM, SERDES interfaces) Simulation of analog paths through a combination of PCB, connector, and cable (signal driver to DUT) Proficient with 2D and 3D simulation tools (examples include ADS, ANSYS HFSS, Sigrity) Electrical length calculations for signal matching Familiar with looking at signals in both frequency (S-parameter) and time domain and understanding how to interpret results when it comes to suitability for a particular application. Very familiar with generating and interpreting data-eye diagrams up to 50Gbps: NRZ and PAM4 Proficient with Allegro or similar layout tool and schematics PCB Stack up design and familiar with fabrication limitations and cost trade-offs High Frequency board material experience Significant experience with measuring signal performance in the lab: TDR measurements and VNA measurements Able to develop test fixtures for making measurements (both custom design test boards as well as making “adhoc” probing solutions to troubleshoot existing PCBs) Expert in cost vs performance tradeoffs when designing signal paths as cost is key design constraint Experience with flex circuit design for high speed signaling Typical Experience 5-20+ years' experience with High Speed Signal Delivery Design and Evaluation. This includes both signal integrity within a PCB and off the board (board to board connectors, ribbon cables, coaxial cable, etc.). Detailed Description Define and Develop next generation technologies for Networking, server and storage products. Provides innovative solutions to unusually complex and sensitive problems requiring ingenuity and creativity. Serve as technical consultant and technical leader for their team. Engage with customers and suppliers on and product roadmaps and support. Communicates progress toward projects and program goals. Strong ability to lead, motivate and direct a workgroup. Proficiency in hardware systems environments and detail oriented. Typical Education Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Master's is preferred #J-18808-Ljbffr HIKINEX
