Signal Integrity Measurement Engineer

Validate signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) for advanced compute platforms, focusing on hands-on measurement, electrical compliance, troubleshooting, and simulation correlation.

  • Develop measurement plans and design of experiments (DOE) for board-to-board, cable, backplane, blade-, and rack-level interconnects.
  • Measure scattering parameters (S-parameters), insertion loss, return loss, impedance, crosstalk, eye diagrams, jitter, timing margins, and bit error rates.
  • Design printed circuit board (PCB) test fixtures; perform calibration, de-embedding, and electrical compliance testing against interface specifications and customer requirements.
  • Correlate measurements with simulations and troubleshoot issues with silicon, package, board, and system teams, interconnect vendors, and original design manufacturers (ODMs).
  • Prepare validation and compliance reports covering methods, pass/fail results, performance margins, findings, and recommendations.
  • Hands-on expertise with vector network analyzers (VNAs), including performance network analyzers (PNAs); time-domain reflectometers (TDRs); bit error rate testers (BERTs); and...
