About the role
- We are seeking a highly motivated Hardware Signal Integrity (SI) Engineer for Pure’s Datastore team.
- In this role, you will own high-speed signal integrity analysis, simulation, and measurement for enterprise SSD platforms.
Responsibilities
- Own signal integrity analysis for SSD hardware from architecture through production.
- Drive board-level SI decisions, including: PCB material selection, via structures, loss tradeoffs, stackup definition and channel optimization.
- Perform SI simulations including: Insertion loss (IL), return loss (RL), crosstalk, TDR / impedance profiles.
- Lead TDR and S-parameter measurements, including: measurement setup, Calibration and de-embedding.
- Perform 3D-EM extraction and simulation for vias, connectors, and complex channel structures.
- Correlate simulation results with lab measurements to refine models and design assumptions.
- Use and customize IBIS and IBIS-AMI models for PCIe, NAND and DDR channel analysis.
- High speed signal eye diagram and margin analysis.
- Support debug activities where SI is a contributing factor.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with PCB design, system, firmware, mechanical, and test teams to ensure robust SI solutions.
Requirements
- Experience in Signal Integrity engineering for high-speed systems.
- B.S. Electrical or Computer Engineering.
- Strong SI simulation experience, must-have for PCIe for channel analysis, eye simulations, jitter, margin, etc.
- Hands-on TDR and S-parameter measurement experience.
- Strong understanding of PCB design from an SI perspective, including materials, stackups, and via structures.
- Deep experience with Simbeor (3D-EM extraction and simulation).
- Ability to understand system design tradeoffs (SI, Performance, Mechanical, Thermal, Power).
- Experience with SSD standard and compliance testing, ie PCI-SIG, NVMe, etc.
- Detail oriented, analytical, process savvy, and customer focused yet flexible and adaptable to business needs.
- Highly self-motivated with the ability to work autonomously in a fast-paced, technical development environment.
