Description

We are seeking a highly qualified Signal and Power Integrity Technical Leader to help us develop our next generation ASIC packaging and lead our Silicon Packaging Signal and Power Integrity Team.

Responsibilities:

  • Develop, document, and implement design rules for ultra-high-speed signaling, ensuring power, performance, and area goals are met for products.
  • Analyze substrate signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI), providing feedback and collaborating with the layout team to develop optimal solutions across interposer, substrate, and PCB.
  • Design, document, and develop ASIC packages for high-volume, high-quality release, including post-layout extraction and reporting.
  • Collaborate with system partners, vendors, and design leads to achieve combined power and signal integrity and to resolve complex technical issues using advanced technology design rules.
  • Define the processes, methods, and tools for the design and implementation of complex ASIC/package developments.
  • Lead or participate in chip architecture discussions and the definition, architecture, and design of high-performance ASICs, including reviews of intricate IC and analog/mixed-signal circuit designs.
  • Mentor and support the signal integrity team, junior engineers, and influence packaging/hardware teams, ensuring all technical specifications and innovative solutions are met.
  • Develop and promote a culture of design reviews, postmortems, and continuous improvement across multi-disciplined engineering teams.

Minimum Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and 10+ years of relevant signal and/or power integrity experience, or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering and 8+ years of relevant signal and/or power integrity experience, or PhD in Electrical Engineering and 5+ years of relevant signal and/or power integrity experience.
  • Experience with multiple high-speed ASIC tape-outs from a package perspective.
  • Experience with 56G PAM4 and above, high-speed SerDes architectures, channel modeling, BER prediction, transmission line theory, and electromagnetics with a solid understanding of scattering and impedance network parameters.
  • Hands-on lab experience with Keysight ADS, Ansys HFSS/EM flow, and Cadence APD for layout review.
  • Experience with SPICE.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience leading small to medium technical teams.
  • Skilled in articulating ideas and technical concepts to diverse audiences, both verbally and in writing.
  • Experience with advanced nodes (5nm, 3nm and below).
  • Experience with high-bandwidth memory (HBM) or high-speed memory interface SI.
  • Experience with die-to-die interfaces (UCIe or proprietary).
  • Experience with advanced packaging (CoWoS, EMIB, interposer-based designs), including SI/PI analysis of 2.5D ASIC packaging.
  • Experience with MATLAB or Python scripting.
  • Experience with Raptor-X.
  • Experience with Vector Network Analysis.
  • Experience with IBIS.

Benefits:

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) plan with Cisco matching contribution
  • Paid parental leave
  • Short and long-term disability coverage
  • Basic life insurance
  • Paid time away (vacation, holidays, sick time)
  • Opportunities for professional growth and development
