We are seeking a highly motivated Signal Integrity (SI) Test Engineer to evaluate and ensure the performance of high-speed copper cable systems. In this role, you will work closely with design, simulation, and manufacturing teams to validate signal performance, troubleshoot issues, and drive product quality through data-driven analysis.
Key Responsibilities
Perform Signal Integrity (SI) measurements to evaluate the performance of copper cables using advanced lab equipment
Debug and conduct root cause analysis on failed devices under test (DUT), collaborating with manufacturing engineers
Develop and execute Design of Experiments (DOE) plans to identify issues and drive them to resolution
Correlate measurement results with simulation models in partnership with cable design and SI simulation teams
Collaborate with design teams on test fixture development and de-embedding methodologies
Stay current with industry standards such as IEEE 802.3 and PCIe, ensuring test methods remain up-to-date
Develop and maintain automated test scripts for controlling lab equipment and processing measurement data
Support additional cable validation procedures, including mechanical reliability tests (e.g., flex/bending)
Required Skills
Hands-on experience with SI test equipment:
Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) (up to 110 GHz)
Time Domain Reflectometer (TDR)
Strong understanding of signal integrity fundamentals, including Insertion loss, Mode conversion, De-embedding techniques and Electromagnetic (EM) principles
Solid engineering approach to debugging and DOE, including test planning and execution
Proficiency in Python for data analysis and test automation
Familiarity with industry standards such as IEEE 802.3; knowledge of OIF CEI specifications is a plus
Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree (B.S.) in Electrical Engineering, Electromagnetics (EM), Radio Frequency (RF), or Signal Integrity-related field
Minimum of 2+ years of experience in signal integrity or high-speed hardware testing
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
Ability to work cross-functionally with design, simulation, and manufacturing teams
Detail-oriented with a focus on data accuracy and quality
The above noted job description is not intended to describe, in detail, the multitude of tasks that may be assigned but rather to give the associate a general sense of the responsibilities and expectations of his/her position. As the nature of business demands change so, too, may the essential functions of the position.
