Senior Signal and Power Integrity Engineer - Hardware
NVIDIAJob Title
Senior Signal and Power Integrity Engineer - Hardware
Role Summary
Senior engineer responsible for system-level signal and power integrity (SI/PI) for high-speed interfaces across ASIC, package, and PCB. Work with cross-functional hardware teams to model, simulate, measure, and optimize signal and power delivery networks for high-performance products.
Experience Level
Senior - typically requires 3+ years of industry experience (posting specifies 3+ years).
Responsibilities
Primary technical duties and scope:
- Perform system-level SI simulations for high-speed links (NVLink 200 Gbps+, USB4, PCIe5, GDDR6, LPDDR5X).
- Model vias, connectors, sockets and system components using 3D electromagnetic (EM) tools.
- Design and optimize power delivery networks (PDN) across package and PCB domains.
- Iterate and improve SI/PI models through lab measurements and simulation correlation.
- Automate simulations, collect data, and analyze/visualize results using JMP, MATLAB, or similar tools.
- Collaborate cross-functionally to optimize ASIC, package, PCB, and mixed-signal circuit designs.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience; nice-to-have items listed separately.
- Must-have: Minimum 3+ years industry experience in SI/PI.
- Must-have: SI/PI experience with one or more standards such as PCIe, USB, SATA, HDMI, HBM, DDR5, GDDR6, LPDDR5X.
- Must-have: Hands-on use of 3D EM and field-solver tools (e.g., ANSYS HFSS, Q3D) and 2.5D tools (e.g., ANSYS SIWAVE) or similar.
- Must-have: PDN evaluation experience using layout extraction tools and SPICE-based time-domain simulations.
- Must-have: Experience with system-level timing or loss budgeting that includes silicon, package, and board impairments.
- Must-have: Simulation automation and data analysis experience (JMP, MATLAB, or equivalent).
- Nice-to-have: Lab measurement and debugging experience with VNA, TDR, DSO, ParBERT, oscilloscopes, or spectrum analyzers.
- Nice-to-have: Deep expertise in high-speed interface SI/PI design, circuit design, board/package component design, or link architecture and timing methodologies.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
