PRINCIPAL R&D/PRODUCT DVL ENGINEER - Signal Integrity (Remote)

Job Overview

As a Principal Product Development Engineer in the Signal Integrity team, you will lead the aspects of electrical design, simulation, and verification-validation testing of high-speed products in the connector and/or cable assembly, radio system industry—targeting high-speed communications and connectivity within datacenters and wireless infrastructure. You will be expected to independently drive product development teams in the areas of signal integrity for product and system design including modeling, simulation, testing, and circuit board layout. You will work collaboratively within a broader cross-functional team of mechanical, manufacturing, & operations to execute leading-edge product designs. You will be the subject matter expert for the signal integrity performance of a product/platform beginning with the initial analysis through prototype fabrication & evaluation, and production verification testing. You will be expected to enhance and drive the advancement of simulation tools and capabilities, identify potential areas of process improvement, and be a respected authority in solving complex problems and ensuring product development success.

Short Description

• Subject matter expert in signal integrity design, simulation, and validation activities through product development cycles
• Establishing signal integrity design performance/functional requirements for new products by closely engaging with front teams/lead customers
• Performing signal integrity simulations for multiple high-speed standards on each product. This includes determining the correct simulation methodology and setup to use, as well as a good understanding of the criteria for each interface.
• Driving product development for business success
• Engaging in innovative simulation and test tool improvement and process enhancement
• Driving best practices and efficiency in connector design and component qualifications from a signal integrity standpoint.
• Being a mentor and teacher to other engineers across disciplines/Business Units - writes and presents technical papers at internal and external conferences.
• Being an expert in analyzing competitive products and driving internal & competing IP positions

What your background should look like:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent work experience; Master’s degree highly recommended
• Minium of 10 years of relevant work experience in electrical design, RF design, or PCB design
• Highly proficient with signal integrity analysis tools (Agilent ADS, Ansys HFSS, CST, or equivalent tools)
• A solid understanding of electromagnetic theory and electrical circuit behavior
• Strong analytical capabilities to interpret simulation and lab data to identify issues and provide solutions to fix identified problems.
• Familiarity with printed circuit board design, fabrication, and assembly.
• Fluent in English (both verbal and written) to facilitate global communication both internally and with external customers.
• Ability to work in a global environment – able to accommodate varying time zones and capable of collaborating with individuals across geographies.
