About the Role
Join Hudson River Trading's expanding Hardware team as a Signal Integrity / Power Integrity Engineer, contributing to high-performance PCB and package designs for advanced ASIC platforms. You will leverage deep expertise in signal and power integrity to address complex system-level challenges involving high-speed SERDES channels, high-current power-delivery networks, packages, PCBs, and supporting infrastructure. This role involves working in a dynamic, cross-functional environment to model, optimize, and validate critical electrical interfaces, collaborating with hardware engineers and external design partners to translate electrical requirements into performant, robust, testable, and manufacturable designs.
Responsibilities
- Develop creative signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) solutions for complex system design challenges.
- Analyze and guide high-speed PCB, BGA, and advanced package designs from 28+ Gbps through the latest signaling technologies.
- Run system-level SI simulations for high-speed SERDES links, and model, optimize, and validate vias, connectors, sockets, breakouts, stackups, routing, and package interfaces using 3D EM and circuit simulation tools.
- Drive substrate and board-layout SI guidelines, post-layout extraction and analysis, and ongoing improvement of models and methodologies against lab measurements.
- Analyze and guide power delivery for ASICs drawing 500+ amps, including static/DC and dynamic/AC analysis across the full power train.
- Automate simulation, data gathering, analysis, and visualization workflows.
- Partner with external design and layout vendors on requirements, deliverables, and tradeoffs.
- Collaborate with internal electrical, mechanical, package, layout, manufacturing, and validation teams throughout the lifecycle.
Requirements
- MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Experience in signal integrity, power integrity, or both for high-performance electronic systems.
- Strong fundamentals in electromagnetics, transmission lines, and PCB/package design.
- Experience with high-speed SERDES links, including at least 28+ Gbps signaling; PAM4 at 56/112+ Gbps is preferred.
- Experience with high-current (>500 amp) ASIC power supply design.
- Proficiency with SI/PI CAE and circuit-simulation tools.
- Experience with relevant SI/PI tools such as HFSS, SIwave, Clarity 3D, Sigrity, ADS, SPICE, SIMPLIS, or MATLAB.
- Python programming or scripting automation experience for analysis, validation, or debugging.
- Ability to translate analysis results into robust, manufacturable PCB and package designs.
- Strong collaboration and communication skills, including experience working with external design partners.
- Experience with 2.5D packages, board/package layout, or PDN evaluation is preferred.
- Familiarity with lab measurement equipment, including VNAs, TDRs, and high-speed oscilloscopes is preferred.
