Signal Integrity Engineer

Join Intel's Networking Solutions Group (NSG) as a Signal Integrity Engineer, applying deep expertise in electrical signals and systems to deliver best-in-class Ethernet and PCIe networking solutions for AI and HPC infrastructure. You will collaborate with internal engineering teams and ecosystem partners to define, validate, and optimize signal integrity requirements across advanced network hardware, including high-speed Ser Des (112G/lane and beyond), complex boards, packages, and IBIS-AMI models.

Using state-of-the-art instrumentation you will perform simulation, analysis, and bench validation to ensure compliance with industry standards, resolve complex technical challenges, and improve product robustness and performance. Your contributions directly influence the quality of Intel's FNIC, IPU, and Ethernet-enabled SoC products and enable enterprise and hyperscaler customers to deploy reliable, high-performance networking solutions built on Intel technology.

• Deliver signal integrity solutions for large, complex high-speed boards and packages.
• Develop die-to-die interconnect modeling, define signal-integrity rules, review implementation, and document characterization and measurement reports.
• Apply signal-integrity trade-offs to interconnect simulations and guide platform implementation.
• Characterize test structures to correlate simulations with interconnect measurements using test equipment.
• Document and provide implementation guidelines to end customers as part of the platform design guide.
• Perform conformance measurements and debug failures.
• Collaborate with IP design teams and silicon integration teams to meet targeted product requirements.

Strong technical communication skills and willingness to collaborate across teams and stakeholders.

• Bachelor's degree in computer, electrical, systems engineering, or a related technical field with 3+ years of experience.
• Master's degree in computer, electrical, systems engineering, or a related technical field with 2+ years of experience.
• Regular onsite presence required to fulfill essential job responsibilities.

• Foundational signal and systems knowledge including time/frequency domain analysis, lumped/distributed regime, linear phase, log vs linear scale, dB vs dBm units, root-sum-square (RSS) hand calculations.
• Experience with computational tools and packages such as Python (Sci Py/Num Py), MATLAB, or similar.
• Hands-on experience in signal-integrity engineering.
• Time and frequency domain bench measurement expertise.
• Technical knowledge of Ethernet or PCIe communication technologies and associated standards.
• Experience with other protocols (SATA, USB, DDR) beneficial.
• Board layout and/or rules checking using tools such as Cadence Allegro or similar.
• Direct experience with VNA-based measurements and manipulating S-parameter (Touchstone) files.
• Direct experience with simulation tools such as SPICE, ANSYS HFSS, Keysight ADS and Intel internal SI tools.
• Creating bespoke scripts for driving simulations and automating tasks.

We offer a total compensation package that ranks among the best in the industry, consisting of competitive pay, stock bonuses, and benefit programs which include health, retirement, and vacation.
