About the role

We are seeking a highly skilled and visionary Staff Signal and Power Integrity (SI/PI) Engineer to join our advanced hardware engineering team. In this role, you will be the definitive technical expert responsible for ensuring the signal quality, timing, and power delivery robustness of our most complex, next-generation robotaxi electronic systems.

What they're looking for

  • Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, or a closely related technical field
  • 10+ years of proven industry experience in signal and power integrity analysis for complex high-speed digital designs
  • Extensive, proven track record designing, simulating, and troubleshooting high-speed interfaces, specifically PCIe, multi-gigabit Ethernet, MIPI (CSI/DSI), and GMSL , through multiple successful product lifecycles
  • Deep expertise in memory interface design and simulation, with a strong focus on advanced LPDDR technologies
  • Familiarity with automotive audio and sensor bus protocols, such as A2B
  • Advanced proficiency with industry-standard 2D/3D electromagnetic extraction and SI/PI simulation tools (e.g., Ansys HFSS/SIwave, Keysight ADS, Cadence Sigrity, or Siemens EDA/HyperLynx)

In this role, you will be the definitive technical expert responsible for ensuring the signal quality, timing, and power delivery robustness of our most complex, next-generation robotaxi electronic systems. As a technical pillar within the organization, you will define overarching SI/PI architectures, establish company-wide simulation methodologies, guide electrical design and layout teams, and own the end-to-end sign-off for cutting-edge high-speed interfaces.

  • Lead the SI/PI architecture and define constraints for next-generation, high-complexity, high-density printed circuit boards (PCBs) and overall system design.
  • Collaborate at an architectural level with hardware design, silicon vendors, PCB layout, and mechanical engineering teams to define layer stack-ups, routing strategies, component placement, and power delivery architectures.
  • Analyze, optimize, and sign off on advanced high-speed serial links (PCIe, Ethernet, MIPI, GMSL) and memory interfaces (LPDDR).
  • Provide expert-level design guidance and validation for...
