Signal Integrity Engineer Serial IO Interface

In this position you will work with the team that develops SOCs used within Apple devices. You will be specifically responsible for high-speed serial interface signal integrity and power integrity for Apple SOCs covering the span from silicon to package to board. Prior design and modeling experience with USB PCIe or comparable interfaces is a must-have.

Work on the electrical and physical design of high-speed serial interface systems. Work on the electrical extraction and validation of package and PCB. Work with circuit design team and vendor to optimize circuit and system design SI and PI modeling simulation and characterization of high-speed serial interface. Develop and execute test plans to validate signal and power integrity. Work with product engineering and system engineering to debug and improve product yield.

The candidate will be responsible for all aspects of SI in high speed serdes interfaces including power integrity if candidate will define influence and implement interface specifications. nThe candidate will perform 3D model extractions and simulations for design optimization verification and validation on all relevant channel components including silicon analog front ends package interposers and substrates PCBs connectors and candidate will drive co-design across SOCs packages and systems to optimize KPI in Apple products.

BS and 10years of relevant industry experience.

PhD and 8 years industry experience (or equivalent).nYou should be familiar with signal and power integrity issues of high speed serial working with the actual product package/board design and analysis SI/PI methodology development and lab correlation/validation of the simulation with lab equipment such as: VNA TDR real-time scope spectrum analyzer strong fundamentals in 3D/2D EM simulation tools and transmission line academic background and experience beyond graduate school communication skills.
