About Us:

DriveNets is at the forefront of developing innovative solutions in high-speed electronics. Our cutting-edge technology serves the next generation of networking and communications, including Ethernet routers and high-performance platforms for the most demanding applications. We are committed to solving complex challenges and pushing the boundaries of what's possible in signal and power integrity.

The Role:

We are looking for an experienced Senior Signal Integrity Engineer to join our Hardware Engineering team. This role focuses on ensuring optimal signal integrity for high-speed interfaces, including Ethernet, PCIe, DDR5, and other next-generation technologies. As part of the team, you will be responsible for performing signal integrity analysis, developing signal integrity models, and ensuring electrical compliance for high-speed SERDES I/Os.

Responsibilities:

• Conduct signal integrity analysis and simulations for high-speed interfaces such as 112Gbps Ethernet, PCIe Gen5, and DDR5 interfaces.

• Develop and implement signal integrity guidelines for PCB design, ensuring high-performance and low-loss signal paths.

• Analyze and resolve signal integrity issues related to high-speed interfaces, including reflection, crosstalk, and power delivery network (PDN) issues.

• Collaborate with PCB layout engineers to optimize design for signal integrity, ensuring compliance with electrical standards and high-speed design best practices.

• Perform time-domain and frequency-domain analysis, including loss, jitter, and eye-diagram analysis.

• Utilize EDA tools such as Ansys SIWAVE, HFSS, or similar for simulation and validation of signal integrity designs.

• Work closely with cross-functional teams to integrate signal integrity considerations into the overall hardware design process.

• Develop behavioural models based on measured signal integrity data to inform future design and simulation work.

• Conduct pre- and post-layout simulations and measurements for high-speed signal interfaces.

Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering with 10+ years of relevant experience.
• Strong understanding of electromagnetic (EM) concepts and transmission line theory.
• Extensive experience in signal integrity analysis for high-speed serial interfaces, including Ethernet, PCIe, and DDR5.
• Proficiency in using EDA tools like Ansys SIWAVE, HFSS, or similar.
• Hands-on expertise in time-domain and frequency-domain analysis, jitter, loss, and eye-diagram analysis.
• Strong background in HSPICE simulations and model development.
• Experience with PCB layout techniques for high-speed designs.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment.

Advantages:

• Experience with advanced simulation tools and techniques.
• Experience with high-speed interfaces such as 112Gbps PAM4 Ethernet, PCIe Gen5, and DDR5.
• In-depth knowledge of high-speed PCB design and layout principles.
• Familiarity with power integrity and power noise simulations.
