Signal Integrity Engineer

Job Title: Signal Integrity

At TE, you will unleash your potential working with people from diverse backgrounds and industries to create a safer, sustainable, and more connected world.

Job Overview

As a product development engineer in the Signal Integrity team you will focus on the electrical design, simulation, and verification-validation testing of high-speed products in the connector and/or cable assembly and radio system industry, targeting high-speed communications and connectivity within data centers and wireless infrastructure. 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.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• 8+ years of relevant work experience in electrical design, RF design, or PCB design
• 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 review
• 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.

What your background should look like

Generally, requires a bachelor's degree in appropriate field with a minimum of 5 years of progressively responsible professional-level experience; a master's degree or higher or local equivalent may be preferred at this level

DESIRED SKILL:

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent work experience

• 8+ years of relevant work experience in electrical design, RF design, or PCB design

• Proficient with signal integrity analysis tools (Agilent ADS, Ansys HFSS, CST, or equivalent tools), with hands-on experience in ADS circuit simulation, channel analysis, and optimization flow for high-speed interconnects.

• Experienced with IBIS-AMI model simulation for SERDES channel performance evaluation, including parameter tuning, equalization analysis, and BER/eye diagram verification.

• Solid understanding of electromagnetic theory and electrical circuit behavior, with practical experience in active component design such as DSPs, re-timers, and re-drivers for high-speed signal transmission.

• Knowledgeable in eye diagram optimization and adaptation parameters (e.g., CTLE, DFE, FFE, emphasis settings) for link margin improvement.

• Strong analytical capabilities to interpret simulation and lab data to identify issues and provide solutions to fix identified problems.

• Fluent in English (both verbal and written) to facilitate global communication both internally and with external customers.

• Ability to work in a global environment, able to accommodate varying time zones and capable of collaborating with individuals across geographies.

• Highly motivated, quick learner, and able to work independently.
