MACOM's High Performance Connectivity business unit is looking for a talented Signal Integrity Engineer/Sr. Engineer. In this capacity, the primary focus of this role will be to work on network analysis and design through simulation and characterization (including correlation) with measurements.

• Perform detailed modeling and electrical analysis of silicon-to-silicon physical interconnects. This covers all aspectsof the physical interconnect in a system context, including die chip-on-board(COB) interfaces, chip-scale to large-scale packaging, passive connectors andrelated components, as well as multi-conductor transmission lines.
• Define and carry out experiments to validate modeling methodologies and to establish correlation of such toempirical data.
• As part of device-level modeling efforts,create, verify, and document IBIS-AMI models for external customer use.
• Focus as needed on MACOM device design-inwithin customer hardware, with emphasis on physical design to achieveelectrical performance characteristics required. Activities include detailed reviews, modeling and analysis, as well as physical design guidance.
