About the Job

Requirements

At least 8 years of experience in a signal integrity role or equivalent skill, including server design and experience with both Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) and Double Data Rate (DDR) interfaces.
Strong fundamentals in transmission lines, electromagnetic fields, and analog/digital theory.
Proficiency with signal integrity simulation tools such as High-Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS), SiWave, and Advanced Design System (ADS), plus hands-on experience with Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR), Vector Network Analyzer (VNA), and other signal integrity test equipment.
Ability to perform printed circuit board (PCB) layout reviews using Allegro, Xpedition, or similar tools.
Proven collaboration with customers and cross-functional teams.

Responsibilities

Build, validate, and correlate advanced signal integrity simulation models; develop simulation strategies to characterize worst-case conditions across manufacturing and environmental variations.
Analyze electrical designs and define routing, material, and interconnect solutions for new high-speed interfaces such as PCIe, DDR, xGMI, and UPI.
Perform channel simulations across packages and printed circuit boards.
Work with IBIS-AMI, S-parameter models, and tools such as Ansys HFSS, Keysight ADS, Cadence Allegro, and other leading industry tools.
Optimize interconnects to meet insertion loss, return loss, eye diagram, and bit error rate (BER) targets.
Lead signal integrity design reviews and influence platform-wide best practices.
Own electrical validation test plan development and support issue resolution.
Collaborate with key technology suppliers on future-facing guidelines, tools, and ecosystem challenges.

About the Company

Dell Technologies

Makes PCs, AI servers and data storage systems

Dell Technologies makes laptops, desktops, servers, data storage and networking equipment for businesses, governments, schools and consumers, and it builds many of the server racks inside large AI data centers. In 2016 it completed its $67 billion purchase of storage maker EMC, then the largest technology deal ever. One division sells PCs, monitors and Alienware gaming computers, while the other sells PowerEdge servers, storage arrays and networking gear to companies running their own data centers. Dell earns money from those hardware sales plus support, financing and subscription services. Michael Dell founded the company in 1984 from his University of Texas dorm room, and it is based in Round Rock, Texas.
