Amphenol High Speed Products Group is the market leader for high speed, high bandwidth electrical connectors for the Telecom/Datacom market (Mobile Networks, Storage, Servers, Routers, Switches, etc.). Our products help to enable the electronics revolution and remain a key enabler for all the major Tier 1 OEMs globally. We are currently seeking a Power Integrity Engineer to join our Cable Backplane Systems team.

This is a hands‑on engineering role that requires strong technical skills, creative problem‑solving, and the ability to collaborate with cross‑functional teams in a fast‑paced environment.

• Perform power integrity simulations (AC impedance, DC IR drop, and transient analysis) to ensure PDN performance.
• Design and optimize decoupling strategies, capacitor selection, and placement for complex boards and systems.
• Interact with customers to determine their power interconnect needs.
• Perform EMI/EMC risk assessments related to power distribution.
• Collaborate with SI engineers to co‑optimize power and signal integrity.
• Develop PDN models and validate through lab measurements (VNA impedance sweeps, oscilloscope ripple measurements).
• Work with PCB designers on layer stack‑up, plane assignments, and power routing.
• Assist in root‑cause analysis and debugging of customer power‑related issues.
• Document best practices and contribute to design guidelines for power delivery networks.

Required:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field (Master’s preferred)
• 3+ years of experience in power integrity, signal integrity, or hardware design
• Hands‑on experience with PDN simulation tools (examples: Keysight PIPro, ANSYS Q3D, HFSS, and SIwave, Cadence Sigrity Power
  
  SI, etc.)
• Experience with SPICE simulation and transient load modeling
• Strong understanding of PDN impedance, VRM behavior, and decoupling network design
• Proficiency in PCB stack‑up design, power plane resonance control, and capacitor optimization
• Excellent analytical, communication, and documentation skills

Preferred:

• Familiarity with high‑speed digital systems (Ser Des, DDR, PCIe)
• Knowledge of EMI/EMC compliance testing and mitigation techniques
• Background in scripting or automation (MATLAB, Python) for data analysis
• Experience with lab instrumentation: VNAs, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers
