You will be expected to independently work on projects in the areas of signal integrity for product and system design including modeling, simulation, testing, and circuit board layout. You will work collaboratively within a broader cross-functional team of mechanical, manufacturing, & operations to execute leading-edge product designs. You will be the subject matter expert for the signal integrity performance of a product/platform beginning with the initial analysis through prototype fabrication & evaluation, and production verification testing. You will tackle challenging design problems and utilize simulation tools to guide complex designs toward success.What your background should look like:Responsibilities:

• Subject matter expert in signal integrity design, simulation and validation activities through product development cycles.
• Establishing signal integrity design performance/functional requirements for new products.
• Performing signal integrity simulations for multiple high-speed standards on each product.
• This includes determining the correct simulation methodology and setup to use, as well as a good understanding of the criteria for each interface.
• Performing PCB design schematic and layout reviews.
• Creating actionable recommendations based upon design reviews and simulation results.
• Guiding connector design and component qualifications from a signal integrity standpoint.
• Making data-driven decisions about the product functionality and areas for improvement.
• Participates in determining objectives and approaches to assignment.
• Works under general direction.
