What You’ll Do

Confidential Client seeks a Signal Integrity Systems Engineer to lead system-level signal integrity (SI) analysis and channel development for high-speed active cable solutions used by hyperscale customers. You will work cross-functionally with ASIC/PHY, hardware, PCB, connector, cable, firmware, and validation teams to deliver production-ready solutions and customer demonstrations.

• Own system-level SI analysis for high-speed channels including AEC, ACC, DAC, connectors, and PCB interconnects
• Develop and analyze end-to-end channels for 112G and 224G PAM4 applications
• Build and validate S-parameter models; correlate simulations with VNA, TDR, and oscilloscope measurements
• Perform IBIS-AMI and statistical/electrical simulations for high-speed PAM4 channels
• Conduct system-level BER, eye, jitter, and SNR analysis to locate channel performance limits
• Troubleshoot SI issues across PCB, connector, cable, package, and silicon interfaces
• Support customer demonstrations, interoperability testing, plugfests, and technical reviews
• Create technical reports and present SI results to customers and internal engineering teams
• Lead root-cause investigations and recommend design and validation improvements
