sr r&d/product dvl engineer(si icc)

At TE, you will unleash your potential working with people from diverse backgrounds and industries to create a safer, sustainable and more connected world.

Job Overview
As a Product Dvl Engineer in the Signal Integrity team you will focus on the electrical design, simulation, and verification-validation testing of high speed products in the connector and/or cable assembly, radio system industry—targeting high speed communications and connectivity within datacenters and wireless infrastructure. You will be expected to independently work on projects in the areas of signal integrity for product and system design including modeling, simulation, testing and circuit board layout. You will work collaboratively within a broader cross functional team of mechanical, manufacturing, & operations to execute leading edge products designs. You will be the subject matter expert for the signal integrity performance of a product/platform beginning with the initial analysis through prototype fabrication & evaluation, and production verification testing. You will tackle challenging design problems and utilize simulation tools to guide complex designs toward success.

Job Requirements

• Subject matter expert in signal integrity design, simulation and validation activities through product development cycles
• Establishing signal integrity design performance/functional requirements for new products
• Performing signal integrity simulations for multiple high-speed standards on each product. This includes determining the correct simulation methodology and setup to use, as well as a good understanding of the criteria for each interface.
• Performing PCB design schematic and layout reviews
• Creating actionable recommendations based upon design reviews and simulation results
• Guiding connector design and component qualifications from a signal integrity standpoint. Making data driven decisions about the product functionality and areas for improvement.

What Your Background Should Look Like

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering.
• Should have total work experience of 8-12+years.
• Minimum of 8+ years of work experience in a signal integrity engineering role or related experience
• Experience with interconnect design or experience with connector &/or cable/cable assembly design (high speed twinax cables, direct attach copper (DAC) cables)
• Demonstrated experience using Signal integrity analysis tools (Agilent ADS, Ansys HFSS or equivalent)
• A solid understanding of electromagnetic theory and electrical circuit behavior
• Strong analytical capabilities to interpret simulation and lab data to identify issues and provide solutions to fix identified problem.
• Familiarity with printed circuit board design, fabrication and assembly.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Ability to work in a global environment – able to accommodate varying time zones, fluent in English (verbal/written), able to collaborate with individuals across geographies
• Solid presentation skills with an ability to clearly communicate technical concepts to diverse audiences in English
• Individual must be highly motivated, a quick learner, and able to work independently

Nice To Have Skills/Experience

• Master's degree a PLUS
• Printed circuit board design (proficient in Altium a PLUS), fabrication and assembly (AutoCAD)
• Test equipment (oscilloscope, vector network analyzer, BERT)
• Communication systems (high-speed servers, switches, routers, storage)
• Signal conditioning techniques (equalization, amplification)
• SixSigma methodologies or other strong data analytics background a PLUS.
• Experience in project leadership, especially as it applies across design, development & manufacturing teams
• Direct customer design and support experience
• Application and test knowledge of high-speed devices and equalization techniques
• Design experience with high-speed servers, switches, routers, storage, antenna, RF front end or similar systems
