SR PRINCIPAL PRODUCT ENGINEER

Job Overview

As a Sr Principle Product Dvl Engineer in the Signal Integrity team you will focus on the electrical design, simulation, DFM, and verification-validation testing of high-speed products in the connector and/or cable assembly, radio system industry—targeting high speed communications and connectivity within datacenters and wireless infrastructure. You will be expected to independently work on projects in the areas of signal integrity for product and system design including modeling, simulation, testing and test fixture design. You will work collaboratively within a broader cross functional team of mechanical, manufacturing, & operations to execute leading edge products designs. You will be the subject matter expert for the signal integrity performance of a product/platform beginning with the initial analysis through prototype fabrication & evaluation, and production verification testing. You will tackle challenging design problems and utilize simulation tools to guide complex designs toward success.

Responsibilities:

• Subject matter expert in signal integrity design, simulation, and validation activities through product development cycles.

• Establishing signal integrity design performance/functional requirements for new products.

• Performing signal integrity simulations for multiple high-speed standards on each product. This includes determining the correct simulation methodology and setup to use, as well as a good understanding of the criteria for each interface.

• Performing PCB design schematic and layout reviews. • Creating actionable recommendations based upon design reviews and simulation results.

• Guiding connector design and component qualifications from a signal integrity standpoint. Making data driven decisions about the product functionality and areas for improvement.

• Supporting the SI requests from customers and participating the join design activities from industrial working groups such as IEEE/OIF/PCISIG.

What your background should look like:

Required Skills/Experience:
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Master’s degree preferred.
• Minimum of 8 years of work experience in a signal integrity engineering role.
• Experience with interconnect design or experience with connector &/or cable/cable assembly design (high speed twinax cables, direct attach copper (DAC) cables), &/or RF antenna, RF sub-system.
• Signal integrity analysis tools (Ansys HFSS and Circuit).
• A solid understanding of electromagnetic theory and electrical circuit behavior.
• Strong analytical capabilities to interpret simulation and lab data to identify issues and provide solutions to fix identified problem. Six-Sigma methodologies or other statistical data analytics background a PLUS.
• Familiarity with printed circuit board design, fabrication, and assembly. Proficient in Altium a PLUS.
• Experience in project leadership, especially as it applies across design, development & manufacturing teams.
• Familiarity of calibration skills of SI test. The capability of developing digital tool to facilitate the SI work a PLUS.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
