Sr. R&D Product Development Engineer

Job Overview:

• As a Sr. Product Dvl 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, radio system industry—
• Targeting high speed communications and connectivity within datacenters 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 products 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. 

Responsibilities: 

• 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 reviews 
• 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. 

Requirements: 

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent work experience 
• 5+ 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) 
• A solid understanding of electromagnetic theory and electrical circuit behavior 
• Strong analytical capabilities to interpret simulation and lab data to identify issues and provide solutions to fix identified problem. 
• Familiarity with printed circuit board design, fabrication and assembly. 
• 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. 
• Individual must be highly motivated, a quick learner, and able to work independently
