Title - Staff Signal Integrity Engineer
This role represents individual contributor within the CHS Signal Integrity organization responsible for end-to-end SI/PI architecture, analysis, and signoff for next-generation mobile, compute, Automotive and various other connectivity platforms.
The engineer acts as
System SI/PI owner across full platform (SoC ↔ package ↔ board ↔ connectors ↔ external systems)
Technical owner for high-speed interfaces and system margins
Cross-functional leader driving SIPI driven design convergence across silicon, package, and platform teams
Core Responsibilities
Own end-to-end SI/PI closure for programs (pre-silicon → post-silicon → production)
Define design targets and layout design guidelines for all high-speed interfaces
Influence architecture decisions early in product lifecycle
Ensure SI/PI alignment with product KPIs (performance, yield, power, cost)
Drive new IP co-design across IC/IO/PHY, package, and PCB
Ensure compliance to standards (JEDEC, PCI-SIG, MIPI, IEEE)
Influence PDN architecture definition at system and package level, provide related optimum cost solutions
Ensure cross functional alignments. Partner with SoC/PHY design teams, Package engineering, Board/system teams and OEM/ODM ecosystem
Lead design reviews and signoff decisions
Represent SI/PI in program reviews and leadership forums
Define company-wide SI/PI methodologies
Drive correlation between pre-silicon models and silicon/lab data
Lead debug of eye collapse / jitter margin issues, crosstalk and power noise and silicon-package-board interactions
Drive best practices adoption across programs
Establish golden methods for system SI/PI
Mentor senior engineers across SI/PI domains
High-Speed Interface Expertise
Drive SI/PI for interfaces such as:
Memory: LPDDR4/5/6
High-speed IO: PCIe Gen4/5/6/7, USB4, UFS, 10G–112G+ PHYs
Camera/Display: MIPI CSI/DSI
System PDN
Required Qualifications / Experience
12+ years in Signal Integrity / Power Integrity / High-speed systems
Proven ownership of multiple tapeouts or high-volume products
Domain Expertise

Qualcomm designs the Snapdragon processors and modems inside many Android phones, and it licenses its wireless patents to device makers around the world. It helped commercialize CDMA, the cellular technology behind 3G networks, and its patents cover core parts of the 4G and 5G standards that phones use to connect. The company does not run its own chip factories; contract foundries make its chips, which it sells to makers of phones, PCs, cars, and connected devices. Device makers also pay Qualcomm royalties for using its patented technology, which forms a second business alongside chip sales. Qualcomm was founded in 1985 and is based in San Diego, California.
