About the role
This role involves defining SI/PI requirements, performing simulations, and developing methodologies for advanced packaging technologies. The scope covers SI/PI analysis and optimization across on-chip, package, and PCB domains, including chiplet and 3D-IC interfaces.
What you'll do
- Define SI/PI requirements based on IP and system-level specifications.
- Perform SI/PI simulations at electromagnetic (EM), circuit, and system levels.
- Develop SI/PI methodologies for advanced packaging technologies (chiplet, 3D-IC, D2D, C2C).
- Provide design guidance on stack-up, interconnect routing, PDN architecture, and decoupling strategy.
- Collaborate with silicon, package, and board teams to ensure measurement-simulation correlation.
- Support debug and bring-up efforts in the lab.
What you'll need
- BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
- 8+ years of experience in component- and system-level SI/PI analysis.
- Solid understanding of SI/PI fundamentals and methodologies.
- Hands-on experience with VNA, TDR, and real-time oscilloscopes.
- Proficient in EDA tools such as SIwave, HFSS, ADS, HSPICE, Allegro, RedHwak-SC, SC-ET, or RedHawk-3DIC.
Nice to have
- PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field with 5+ years of relevant industry experience.
- SI/PI analysis and optimization for high-speed digital systems and standard interfaces (PCIe, DDR, Ethernet).
- Experience modeling and analyzing complex 3D structures using EM simulation tools.
- Experience with on-chip Backend sign-off (Static/Dynamic IR, EM).
- Experience with on-/off-chip PDN modeling and budgeting.
- Experience with on-chip glitch/jitter/DVD analysis and sign-off methodology, including cross-talk, TSV uncertainty, and multi-corner/process derating.
- Experience with early-stage reference clock jitter estimation and sign-off methodology development.
- Experience with on-chip clock sign-off, including clock design guide, 3DIC jitter derating, and multi-corner/process variation analysis.
Skills: SI/PI simulations, advanced packaging, chiplet, 3D-IC, PCIe, DDR, Ethernet
