Staff R&D/Product Development Engineer – Signal Integrity
- Bangalore, Karnataka
- Permanent
- Full-time
- As a Staff Product Development Engineer in the Signal Integrity Center of Excellence (SI COE), you will lead advanced signal integrity (SI) research, modeling, and validation for next-generation high-speed interconnects used in AI, data centers, and high-performance computing (HPC).
- Your role involves independently conducting SI studies and design platforming, including geometry analysis and simulation-driven optimizations.
- You will be responsible for exploring new SI methodologies, conducting literature reviews, formulating research plans, programming, simulating, and testing to develop innovative solutions—even in ambiguous environments.
- You will collaborate closely with mechanical, manufacturing, materials, and operations teams to drive the adoption of cutting-edge SI technologies.
- As a subject matter expert, you will oversee the entire SI lifecycle, from initial analysis and modeling to design, simulation, prototype fabrication, and final validation. You will tackle complex design challenges, leveraging advanced simulation tools to optimize designs for manufacturability and performance.
- Drive SI design, simulation, and validation for next-gen high-speed interconnects (112G/224G PAM4, PCIe Gen6/7, Co-Packaged Optics) through the product development cycle.
- Conducting SI COE analysis, including
- Performing signal integrity simulations and analysis for high-speed interconnect product development. This includes determining the correct simulation methodology and setup to use, as well as a good understanding of the criteria for each interface.
- Modeling the connector with the consideration of manufacture impact and application impact.
- Providing solutions to the SI challenges. This includes identifying the problems, making research plan, developing new technologies, and training and sharing the findings to the SI community.
- Develop novel interconnect solutions by optimizing mating interfaces, lead frames, and PCB transitions for resonance-free, low-loss performance.
- Enhance bulk cable design & termination techniques to minimize skew, impedance mismatches, and signal degradation.
- Advance high-frequency testing methodologies beyond 67 GHz with innovative non-PCB-based test fixtures.
- Utilize AI & big data analytics for predictive SI modeling, auto-routing, and performance optimization.
- Optimize material selection & electromagnetic design to improve noise isolation, signal integrity, and high-frequency response.
- Collaborate with NPD teams & industry partners to influence SI strategies, technology roadmaps, and next-gen product designs.
- Represent at industry forums (IEEE, OIF, PCI-SIG, etc.) and contribute to next-gen SI standards.
- Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering.
- Should have total work experience of 3-5+years.
- Minimum of 5+ years of work experience in a signal integrity engineering role or related experience
- Minimum of 3+ years of work experience in connector development - Experience with interconnect design or experience with connector &/or cable/cable assembly design (high speed twinax cables, direct attach copper (DAC) cables)
- Demonstrated experience using Signal integrity analysis tools (Agilent ADS, Ansys HFSS or equivalent, 3D modeling tools) and testing equipment (including VNA, TDR and BERT).
