What are the responsibilities and job description for the Signal Integrity Engineer position at Cisco Systems, Inc.?
Meet the Team
The Cisco Enterprise Access Switching SI team is seeking a Signal Integrity Engineer for the design and analysis of high-speed components, interfaces, and power distribution network. As a member the of Enterprise Access Switching SI team, you will help develop the Next Generations of Cisco Switch products, be a part of the definition and design of current and next generation ASIC, package, printed circuit board (PCB), and system interconnect. You will be working in a larger team working closely with system architects, logic designers, ASIC engineers, package engineers, and versatile and knowledgeable SI/PI engineers in the creation of next-generation networking products.
Your Impact- High-speed link modeling and simulation, including high-speed I/O, IC package,e and system interconnections.
- Modeling and analyzing power delivery networks
- Electromagnetic modeling of complex 3-dimensional structures
- Perform pre- and post-route signal integrity analysis of both PCB and ASIC package designs
- Write signal integrity design guidelines, test plan, and test report
- Decide appropriate PCB material, stack-up, and work with vendors to address any DFM issues
- Support prototype function bring-up, validation, and troubleshooting
- Address signal integrity challenges on system high-speed interconnections, clock, power, etc.
