General Summary

Title - Staff Signal Integrity Engineer

This role represents individual contributor within the CHS Signal Integrity organization responsible for end-to-end SI/PI architecture, analysis, and signoff for next-generation mobile, compute, Automotive and various other connectivity platforms.

The engineer acts as

• System SI/PI owner across full platform (SoC ↔ package ↔ board ↔ connectors ↔ external systems)
• Technical owner for high-speed interfaces and system margins
• Cross-functional leader driving SIPI driven design convergence across silicon, package, and platform teams
  
  

Core Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end SI/PI closure for programs (pre-silicon → post-silicon → production)
• Define design targets and layout design guidelines for all high-speed interfaces
• Influence architecture decisions early in product lifecycle
• Ensure SI/PI alignment with product KPIs (performance, yield, power, cost)
• Drive new IP co-design across IC/IO/PHY, package, and PCB
• Ensure compliance to standards (JEDEC, PCI-SIG, MIPI, IEEE)
• Influence PDN architecture definition at system and package level, provide related optimum cost solutions
• Ensure cross functional alignments. Partner with SoC/PHY design teams, Package engineering, Board/system teams and OEM/ODM ecosystem
• Lead design reviews and signoff decisions
• Represent SI/PI in program reviews and leadership forums
• Define company-wide SI/PI methodologies
• Drive correlation between pre-silicon models and silicon/lab data
• Lead debug of eye collapse / jitter margin issues, crosstalk and power noise and silicon-package-board interactions
• Drive best practices adoption across programs
• Establish golden methods for system SI/PI
• Mentor senior engineers across SI/PI domains
  
  

High-Speed Interface Expertise

Drive SI/PI For Interfaces Such As

• Memory: LPDDR4/5/6
• High-speed IO: PCIe Gen4/5/6/7, USB4, UFS, 10G–112G+ PHYs
