responsibilities
design and optimize power distribution networks (pdn) across chip, package, and board levels. this includes managing power/ground planes, decoupling capacitors, and power gating strategies.
conduct both pre-layout and post-layout power integrity simulations to analyze power and ground noise (ssn/sso), voltage drops (ir drop), and electromagnetic interference (emi).
implement and verify low-power design methodologies, such as multi-voltage designs and clock gating, using power intent formats like upf/cpf.
generate precise electrical models (e.g., s-parameters, spice models) for components such as packages, pcbs, and connectors for use in simulations.
execute lab measurements utilizing TEST equipment like oscilloscopes, vector network analyzers (vna), time domain reflectometers (tdr), spectrum analyzers to validate simulation outcomes and debug signal and power-related issues on silicon prototypes and boards.
Requirements: bachelor's degree in mechanical, electrical engineering, material science, or equivalent practical experience.
5 years of experience in signal or power integrity or hardware design.
preferred qualifications:
experience with industry-standard electronic design automation (eda) tools for simulation and layout (e.g., cadence sigrity/allegro, ansys hfss/powerdc/q3d, keysight ads, synopsys hspice).
proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, PERL, or tcl for flow automation and data analysis.
familiarity with high-speed testing equipment like vnas, tdrs, and oscilloscopes for measurement and validation.
knowledge of circuit analysis, electromagnetics, and transmission line theory.
This position is open to all candidates.
