Signal Integrity Specialist MACOM's High-Performance Analog Business Unit is searching for a senior signal integrity specialist. In this capacity, high-level focus will be definition and technical guidance, through deployment, of signal integrity strategies and methodologies. This spans from front-end definition to back-end validation of broadband communications products at data rates up to and beyond 400 Gbps.

Job Description:

• Drive feasibility analyses at onset of product definition phase. Evaluate and specify electrical characteristics and performance of devices and systems to determine compliance with appropriate regulating standards.
• Take cradle-to-grave ownership of products through hand-off to product engineering for production launch. This encompasses efforts to find limits of product performance as well as debugging.
• Perform detailed modeling and electrical analysis of silicon-to-silicon physical interconnects. This covers all aspects of the physical interconnect in a system context, including chip-scale to large-scale packaging, passive connectors and components, and multi-conductor transmission lines.
• Define and carry out experiments to validate modeling methodologies and to establish correlation of such to empirical data.
• Design, develop, and document interconnect solutions for internal hardware needs as well as for customer hardware reference designs.
• Identify techniques and methodologies for modeling and measurement of devices and systems. Actively lead evaluations of these.
• As part of device-level modeling efforts, either create/verify/document or guide such for IBIS-AMI models that will enable customers to assess their expected channel performance using them.

Requirements:

• An ideal candidate will have a PhD degree and 6+ years of direct experience. The minimum requirement is an MSEE degree with 8+ years of pertinent experience. BSEE will be considered depending on specific relevant background and with no less than 15 years of direct experience in industry.

• Proven debug skills of devices and systems is paramount to success for this position.
• A strong understanding of basic circuit and transmission line theory is essential, as is familiarity with and a working knowledge of concurrent time and frequency-domain methods of analysis and characterization.
• Programming experience is required in Matlab, Python, and/or C++.
• Programming experience is desired with languages such as TCL, Linux shell, perl, etc…
• Expert-level knowledge and experience with 3D electro-magnetic field solvers such as Ansys HFSS, with proven ability to create models of usable bandwidth to 150 GHz is required.
• In-depth knowledge of circuit design and simulation tools such as Cadence IC Craftsman, and Agilent ADS (or Ansys Designer) is a must.
• Working experience is required in Mathworks SimuLink is helpful.
• Candidates should have a solid understanding of the scientific method and have extensive experience setting up experiments, and collecting measurement data using mainstream equipment used for characterizing high speed serial links -- both electrical and optical. This includes TDR, VNA, BERT, DCA/oscilloscope, spectrum analyzers, as well as optical sources and receivers.
