SIPI Characterization Engineer
Location: Mountain View, CA (Onsite)
Salary: $120,000–$475,000 + Equity DOE
Type: Full-time, Permanent
My client, an innovative AI hardware company, is looking for a SIPI Characterization Engineer to join its hardware team. The role will focus on electrical characterisation of high-speed SerDes interfaces and power delivery networks across advanced AI accelerator systems, working from early-stage design through to production.
Key Responsibilities
Characterise high-speed SerDes interfaces including PCIe, Ethernet, and custom protocols
Perform BER testing, eye diagram analysis, PVT characterisation, and channel measurements
Optimise SerDes Tx/Rx equalisation and analyse link performance
Characterise power delivery networks, transient noise, voltage droop, and PDN impedance
Develop scalable automated test frameworks for thousands of SerDes channels
Integrate oscilloscopes, BERTs, VNAs, and power analysers into automated test flows
Build data pipelines for test analysis, visualisation, and rapid troubleshooting
Work closely with SIPI, PCB, package, and silicon design teams to influence future designs
Requirements
5–10 years' industry experience in hardware characterisation or SI/PI engineering
Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering
Strong understanding of SerDes architecture, equalisation, jitter, and link margin analysis
Excellent knowledge of transmission line theory and high-speed signal integrity
Strong understanding of PDN design, target impedance, resonance, and voltage regulator dynamics
Hands-on experience with electrical test and measurement equipment
Experience developing test automation using Python preferred
AI accelerator/GPU validation, PCIe compliance, SPC, or advanced PCB/package design experience
What’s on Offer
$120k–$475k base salary depending on experience, plus equity
Onsite role in Mountain View, CA
Comprehensive health, dental, vision, and life insurance
4 weeks' PTO plus 12 company holidays
$1,500 annual professional development budget
401(k) and/or Roth IRA with 5% company contribution
Paid parental leave and flexible spending accounts
Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI accelerator and semiconductor technology
