Senior Signal and Power Integrity Engineer - Hardware
NVIDIAJob Title
Senior Signal and Power Integrity Engineer - Hardware
Role Summary
Senior engineer responsible for signal-integrity (SI) and power-integrity (PI) analysis and optimization across ASIC, package, and PCB for high-speed systems. Work includes 3D and 2D electromagnetic modeling, system-level simulations, lab measurement correlation, and cross-functional collaboration to meet timing and loss budgets.
Experience Level
Senior. The posting specifies at least 3+ years of industry experience; the role expects demonstrated independent technical contributions in SI/PI for high-speed interfaces.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include simulation, modeling, measurement correlation, and documentation to support high-speed system design.
- Develop SI/PI solutions for complex system design problems involving package, PCB, connectors, and breakouts.
- Model and optimize vias, connectors, sockets, breakouts and system components using 3D EM tools.
- Perform system-level SI simulations for high-speed interfaces (e.g., NVLink, USB4, PCIe5, GDDR6, LPDDR5X).
- Correlate and refine SI models using lab measurements and updated modelling methodologies.
- Create substrate and board layout SI guidelines; perform post-layout SI extraction and review.
- Automate simulations and data workflows; analyze and visualize results with tools such as JMP or MATLAB.
- Collaborate cross-functionally to optimize ASIC, package, PCB, and mixed-signal circuit interactions.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and practical experience for successful performance in this role.
- Minimum 3+ years industry experience in signal or power integrity engineering.
- Strong applied electromagnetics, transmission-line theory, and signal-processing background.
- SI experience with one or more high-speed signaling standards (PCIe, USB, SATA, HDMI, HBM, DDR5, GDDR6, LPDDR5X, etc.).
- Hands-on experience with 3D EM tools (e.g., ANSYS HFSS, Q3D) and 2.5D/2D tools such as SIWAVE or Ansys2D.
- Familiarity with system-level timing and loss budgets including silicon, package and board impairments.
- Experience with lab equipment and measurements (VNA, TDR, DSO, ParBERT) and with tools such as ADS, Ansys Designer, JMP, Matlab, or Cadence Allegro is a plus.
Education Requirements
BS or MS in Electrical Engineering (or related technical field) is listed; the posting also accepts equivalent practical experience ("or equivalent experience").
