Signal & Power Integrity Engineer

MatX is looking for a motivated Signal & Power Integrity (Si/PI) Engineer to join our hardware engineering team to solve cutting‑edge technical challenges in high‑performance AI chips and systems.

In this role, you’ll work with senior‑level engineers to design 224G Ser Des channels, including silicon interposer, substrate, extra low‑loss PCB and high‑speed connectors to ensure reliable high‑speed electrical performance. You will also work on designing the power delivery networks to ensure both DC and transient power integrity for accelerator chips and other critical components.

What You’ll Do Here

• Optimize interconnects from uBump to C4 bump, substrate uvia, and PTH via and PCB via to minimize the insertion loss
• Channel Modeling and simulation for interfaces of PCIe 6/7, 224‑Gbps PAM4, HBM, D2D based on IP electrical spec and physical design rules
• Perform channel analysis using S‑parameters, eye‑diagram, and BER estimation, insertion loss/crosstalk budgets
• Generate physical design rules for interposer LSI, substrate and PCB layout

• Design and simulate PDN (Power Delivery Networks) from VRM to die/package: impedance targets, decoupling strategy, and resonances
• Perform frequency‑domain impedance and time‑domain transient analysis (AC/DC)
• Evaluate DC IR drop and transient voltage stability under dynamic loading

• Correlate simulation to lab results using VNA, TDR, and oscilloscope measurements
• Support bring‑up and debug of boards/modules exhibiting SI/PI anomalies
• Conduct high‑speed Ser Des bench BER testing to ensure channel performance
• Perform power transient and noise measurements with oscilloscope

Who You Are

• BSEE or MSEE in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, or related field
• 5–8 years of experience in SI/PI engineering or related high‑speed hardware design
• Proficiency with industry tools such as Ansys HFSS/Siwave, Keysight ADS, Cadence Clarity and Sigrity, Keysight Path Wave, Power
  
  SI, SPICE, etc
• Familiar with PCB design and substrate design, via optimization and modeling
• Strong understanding of return‑path design, crosstalk mitigation, and PDN target impedance concepts
• Hands‑on lab experience with oscilloscopes, VNAs, and power measurement equipment
• This is a hybrid role that will require you to work from our Mountain View, CA office 3 days a week on Tuesday through Thursday

Bonus Points If You Have

• Experience with 224 Gb/s interconnects and CoWoS‑L interposer design
• Scripting skills (Python, MATLAB, TCL) for automation and data processing.
• Familiarity with high‑speed interface protocols (Ethernet/PCIe/HBM) and ability to perform channel analysis based on relevant specifications, such as COM analysis for 224G Ser Des
