Job Description


Johns Creek, GA or San Jose, CA


About the Role


We are a leading provider of chip and silicon IP solutions, seeking an
exceptional Senior Engineer with signal integrity and package design
expertise to join our Memory Interface engineering team. This full-time role
involves developing products that boost data speed and security. Reporting to
the VP of Engineering, you'll focus on SI/PI modeling, analysis, and
simulations for high-speed DDR applications up to 12800+ MT/s.


Key Responsibilities


  • Develop SI/PI methodologies;
    collaborate on studies and package designs for DDR products.

  • Define specs and requirements
    (e.g., packaging, PCB routings, decoupling, simulations, jitter analysis)
    with design/validation teams.

  • Guide design team via SI/PI
    studies, simulations, and correlations for top SI performance (e.g.,
    optimal RMT scores).

  • Partner with customers on optimal
    SI/PI solutions.

  • Support debug and lab bring-up.


Requirements


Qualifications


  • MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering;
    10+ years experience, including DDR4/DDR5 focus.

  • Experience simulating high-speed
    memory (DDR4/DDR5) and/or SERDES.

  • Strong in EM and transmission
    line theory.

  • Expertise in equalization
    (FIR/FFE/DFE/CTLE).

  • Proficient in package/PCB design:

    simulations with lab measurements (scopes, TDRs, VNAs).

  • Desirable: Server system
    knowledge (CPUs to DRAMs); crosstalk/jitter in source-synchronous
    interfaces for low BER.

  • Skilled in Spice, ADS, HFSS,
    Q3D/PowerSI.

  • Plus: RedHawk/Totem, XcitePI,
    Virtuoso familiarity.

  • Valued: Lab experience with
    passive components, margins, noise (scopes, VNA/TDR).

  • Preferred: Basic high-speed link
    circuit knowledge.

  • Excellent communication, writing,
    presentation skills for customers/teams.

  • Innovative, self-motivated team
    player with leadership.

About Talentry, LLC

Talentry was founded by two folks with over 30 combined years of expertise in the IT, scientific, and technical industries in Southern California. Our proven experience with executive search, staff augmentation, training, and headhunting makes us particularly effective at delivering customized solutions for our clients.

We provide:

- Technical recruiting - staffing and headhunting in IT/Engineering and other technical spaces.

- Non-Technical recruiting - staffing and headhunting for Sales and Marketing, Accounting and Finance, Operations, Logistics, Quality, and other functional areas.

- Training – organizational development and workforce optimization training. Particularly popular are training sessions geared toward enhancing the ability of hiring managers to effectively attract, select, and hire candidates.

We have been successful through the “ups and downs” because we focused on one simple axiom: Companies have business problems that need to be solved. In today’s landscape, the solution isn’t always clear. Having the right people on hand to help solve these problems has never been so challenging for our clients. Large professional services firms have been extremely costly to them, and have delivered mixed results.

We founded Talentry simply to solve difficult problems that lie along that most challenging border: the intersection of people and technology. We’ve been successful leveraging our core strengths: Creativity, Adaptability, Integrity, and a relentless focus on Solution Delivery!

But enough about us — let’s talk about you! Are you having trouble finding the right solution to deliver your best to your internal or external clients? Do you have the right people for the job? Do you have budget overruns on major initiatives? Are vendors or nationally branded consulting firms “holding you hostage?” Do you need someone to pick up the slack while an employee is on vacation? We can help!
