  • Experience and knowledge on the transmitter and receiver compliance tests and passive channel/component characterization for high speed Serdes is required
  • Experience in quasi-static (Q3D), 2.5D (PowerSI, SIWave) and 3D (HFSS, nWave)
  • Experience in custom connector and cable extraction and optimization
  • Experience in end-to-end channel analysis for both differential and single-ended signals, and its statistical DOE analysis across channel variants
  • Knowledge and experience in various industry Serdes standards such as USB2, USB3, USB4, DiplayPort, HDMI, MIPI, SD, Ethernet, PCIe, and Thunderbolt
  • Knowledge and experience in parallel bus interface design such as DDR, GDDR, LPDDR, NAND interfaces, and common synchronous interfaces
  • Experience in Multi-level signaling such as PAM3 and PAM4
  • Skills with associated tools for 2.5D (PowerSI, SIWave, Sentinel-PI, nSys), 3D Full wave (HFSS, nWave), quasi-static tools (Q3D, nApex) is required
  • Relevant working knowledge of IBIS-AMI, HSPICE, Spectre, AMS, and Simplis models for system-level transient analysis is also necessary
  • Working knowledge of ADS is desired
  • Measurement expertise with frequency and time domain tools (VNA, TDR) including calibration & de-embedding experiences is desired
  • Experience with Matlab/Python/PERL and other scripting languages is desired.
Responsibilities
  • You will be involved in designing Mac products from signal integrity perspectives through the simulation and analysis of multi-layer PCBs, flex, cable, connector, package, and die, including transmitter and receiver equalizations, for various high speed differential and single-ended signals as well as low speed GPIO signals.
  • Routine responsibilities also include custom connector and cable design and development support, factory build support, and electrical compliance test support from signal integrity perspectives.
  • The candidate should be able to model physical channel topologies including differential, single ended, and parallel bus types.
