Job Description

As a Signal Integrity Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in delivering high-speed signal integrity solutions for complex platforms, boards, and packages. You will perform simulations, define signal integrity rules, and guide physical implementations to optimize design margins and ensure the integrity of next-generation interfaces. Your work on electrical specifications and interconnect designs will directly support Intel's cutting-edge products, ensuring they meet rigorous standards for performance and quality.

You will be joining the Silicon and Platform Engineering Group (SPE), which drives innovation by developing foundational technologies for Intel's products. This team focuses on designing and optimizing advanced silicon and platform solutions to deliver high-performance, scalable, and reliable technology. As part of this group, you will contribute to shaping the future of Intel's hardware and platform offerings.

The primary responsibilities for this role will include, but are not limited to:

• Develop and deliver signal integrity solutions for high-speed interconnects in complex platforms, boards, and packages.
• Perform 2D and 3D modeling and simulations to evaluate electrical structures for die-to-die interconnects.
• Define signal integrity rules, guide their implementation, and optimize design margins to enhance product performance.
• Design, simulate, and characterize test structures to correlate simulations with real-world measurements using high-speed equipment.
• Collaborate with IP design and silicon integration teams to align designs with platform-level requirements, minimizing signal degradation and costs.
• Generate electrical specifications and industry-standard interconnect guidelines to support next-generation interface development.
• Document characterization reports and implementation guidelines for platform design improvements.
