Responsibilities
THE ROLE:
As a Sr. Signal Integrity/Power Integrity Engineer in our Networking Technology & Solutions Group (NTSG), you will be responsible for ensuring that AMD’s next-generation products deliver industry-leading reliability, performance, and efficiency. This role involves designing, analyzing, modeling and validating complex systems with high-speed channels and high-power components.
THE PERSON:
In this role, you will closely collaborate with Silicon IP team, ASIC packaging team, PCB design team, System Architect and external partners/suppliers to meet the most demanding signal/power integrity requirements while ensuring manufacturability.
KEY RESPONSBILITIES:
- Model and simulate the end-to-end high-speed channels including transceivers, IC package, PCB and cross-boards connectors/cables
- Utilize industry-standard tools and methodologies to perform a variety of time/frequency domain signal integrity analysis (IBIS-AMI, SPICE, full-wave EM analysis, etc.)
- Identify the link quality such as loss, reflection and crosstalk, and resolve the issues
- Conduct channel-simulations to optimize Eye Diagram, Bit Error Rate (BER) and Signal-Noise-Ratio (SNR) for high-speed signaling across complex systems
- Perform Channel Operation Margin (COM) analysis to validate the channel health for IEEE compliance
Excise Design of Experiments (DOE) sweeping to statistically evaluate the signal integrity qualities across process variations, like silicon corners, trace impedance, routing length, terminations, etc.
Interpret the simulation results to provide the design guidelines on board materials, stack-up, transmission line routings, component placement and layout optimization
Work on critical circuits (especially reference clocks and high-speed signals) to ensure signal integrity and power integrity
Drive PCB physical design, create PCB stack-up, generate PCB design rules, review PCB layout, identify the potential signal integrity and power integrity issues, and propose solutions
Support lab validation and debugging to correlate with the simulation data
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to drive product development while keeping projects on schedule and within scope.
Stay at the forefront of signal integrity and power integrity innovations and high-speed design technologies, ensuring that AMD continues to lead the industry
