Sr. Signal Integrity/Power Integrity Engineer - CA, Santa Clara, United States
Originally posted 24 July 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This role is responsible for ensuring that AMD’s products deliver reliability, performance, and efficiency.
What you'll do
- Model and simulate end-to-end high-speed channels including transceivers, IC package, PCB, and cross-boards connectors/cables.
- Utilize industry-standard tools and methodologies for time/frequency domain signal integrity analysis (IBIS-AMI, SPICE, full-wave EM analysis).
- Identify and resolve link quality issues such as loss, reflection, and crosstalk.
- Conduct channel-simulations to optimize Eye Diagram, Bit Error Rate (BER), and Signal-Noise-Ratio (SNR) for high-speed signaling.
- Perform Channel Operation Margin (COM) analysis to validate channel health for IEEE compliance.
- Drive PCB physical design, create PCB stack-up, generate PCB design rules, and review PCB layout.
What you'll need
- Master or PhD’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related fields.
Nice to have
- 10+ years of experience in high-speed signal integrity and power integrity engineering fields.
- Strong background in PCB and package design for signal integrity and power integrity.
- Strong expertise in high-speed architecture, interconnects, and PCB/package design.
- Deep knowledge of high-speed interfaces (PCIe, Ethernet, DDR).
- Proficiency in SI/PI simulation tools (Keysight ADS, Cadence Sigrity, Ansys HFSS).
- Familiarity with MATLAB or Python for data analysis and automation.
- Hands-on experience with lab testing tools (TDR, VNA, High-Speed Oscilloscopes, Spectrum Analyzer).
