What are the responsibilities and job description for the High-Speed Data Center Specialist position at Eridu AI?
We are seeking an experienced Signal Integrity Engineer to support the design and optimization of high-performance, data center-focused hardware for AI applications. The successful candidate will be responsible for ensuring reliable high-speed data transfer across critical interfaces, including Ethernet and PCIe within our AI networking ICs.
Responsibilities:
- Perform detailed signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) analysis for high-speed interfaces such as Ethernet, PCIe, and DDR4/DDR5, in AI networking ICs.
- Develop and validate comprehensive models for end-to-end system integrity, including chip, package, and PCB transmission line modeling.
- Design and analyze power delivery networks (PDN), managing decoupling strategies, IR drop analysis, and power noise mitigation.
- Define and implement design guidelines for signal and power integrity, including specifications for PCB layout, stack-up, trace routing, and component selection.
- Conduct lab testing and validation to ensure SI/PI integrity using tools such as Time Domain Reflectometers (TDR), Vector Network Analyzers (VNA), and oscilloscopes.
- Collaborate with circuit design, packaging, and firmware teams to troubleshoot and optimize SI/PI parameters for high reliability and performance.
- Lead simulation and optimization efforts for high-speed interfaces, addressing key SI issues like crosstalk, jitter, and inter-symbol interference (ISI).
- Create and execute test plans, correlate results with simulations, and provide recommendations for improvement.
