• Simulate and analyze the entire signal path (silicon die, bond wire, pin, PCB, interconnections).
• Perform SI/PI design and analysis for packages, sockets, interposers, PCBA load boards, and cables.
• Use high-speed channel simulation tools (ADS, HFSS, CST) and S-parameter modeling.
• Design and optimize high-speed signal paths for data rates of 64Gb/s and beyond.

Testing & Validation

• Conduct integration testing, qualifications, and hands‑on evaluation of prototypes and sub‑assemblies.
• Build and validate signal quality; troubleshoot and optimize signal integrity and power integrity.
• Create and manage test specifications, evaluation protocols, and initiate engineering change orders.
• Interpret functional test results and present findings to senior staff and customers.
• Work closely with manufacturing, QA, technical support, and external partners.
• Guide and mentor junior staff; recommend and design innovations, improved methods, tools, and processes.
