Job Title
SI/PI Simulation Engineer — Signal Integrity & Power Integrity
Job Summary
An experienced SI/PI Simulation Engineer required to join our RF/PCB team. The candidate will be responsible for signal- and power-integrity analysis of PCBs, packages, and high-speed interconnects, supporting design reviews, verification, and troubleshooting to ensure robust electrical performance for high-frequency and mixed-signal products.
Key Responsibilities
  • Perform Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI) simulations for PCB designs, multi-layer stacks, connectors, and packages.
  • Model and analyze high-speed channels (DDR/PCIe/USB/SerDes), interconnects, vias, and transitions to meet timing, eye-diagram, and jitter budgets.
  • Perform PI analysis: PDN impedance, decoupling network optimization, transient power distribution analysis, and capacitor placement.
  • Extract and validate S-parameters, insertion/return loss, crosstalk (NEXT/ FEXT), time-domain reflectometry (TDR), and eye diagrams.
  • Generate and validate stack-up definitions, impedance-controlled traces, differential pair routing, and design-for-signal-integrity guidelines.
  • Work with PCB layout engineers to recommend layout fixes — via placement, return paths, stitch vias, plane splits, and decoupling placements.
  • Support pre- and post-layout simulation workflows; run design-of-experiments (DOE) and parametric sweeps to optimize designs.
  • Validate simulations with measurements (VNA, TDR, oscilloscope eye tests) and correlate models to test data.
  • Document simulation reports, assumptions, mitigation plans, and provide actionable design guidelines.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (hardware, mechanical, RF, firmware) and participate in design reviews.
  • Stay current with SI/PI best practices, signal/power modelling techniques, and industry standards.
Required Qualifications & Skills
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
  • 1+ years of hands-on experience in SI/PI simulation for high-speed digital or RF systems.
  • Strong understanding of transmission line theory, signal propagation, impedance control, crosstalk, reflections, and power distribution networks.
  • Proficiency with at least two of the following tools:
  • Ansys SIwave / HFSS
  • Cadence Sigrity / Allegro SI
  • Keysight ADS / EMPro / (time-domain/circuit)
  • Mentor Graphics HyperLynx
  • CST Studio Suite (Microwave Studio)
  • Familiarity with measurement tools and lab validation: VNA, TDR, high-speed scope, jitter/de-emphasis testing, power integrity test setups.
  • Good scripting skills (Python, MATLAB) for automating simulation workflows and post-processing.
  • Strong problem-solving, communication skills, and ability to produce clear technical reports.
Preferred
  • Experience with Ansys HFSS for 3D EM extraction of connectors/complex transitions.
  • Familiarity with packaging and chip-to-board interconnect (BGA modelling).
  • Knowledge of EMC/EMI, thermal effects on SI/PI, and signal/power co-design.
  • Experience with version control, PLM systems, and collaborative CAD tool workflows.
  • Prior work in telecom, server, aerospace, or defence domains is a plus.
