San Francisco Bay Area Austin Until 9/22/2026 20+ years exp First posted July 24, 2026 Last posted July 24, 2026
Job description

In this position, you will work with the team that develops SoCs. In this high-impact role, you will define and own the end-to-end signal and power integrity strategy for cutting-edge high speed SerDes. You will be responsible for ensuring robust interconnect performance from silicon to system. This position requires deep expertise in leading-edge SerDes technologies (224G+), modern interconnect protocols, and system-level co-design.

Description

As the SIPI Architect, you will define and own the end-to-end signal and power integrity architecture for high-speed SerDes interconnects. You will guide technical direction across various teams, lead system-level trade-off analyses, and ensure design robustness through advanced modeling and validation.

Minimum Qualifications

BS and 20 +years of relevant industry experience.

Preferred Qualifications

MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a related field with 20+ years of relevant industry experience.
Deep expertise in system-level SIPI for high-speed SerDes (112G/224G and beyond).
Proven experience architecting solutions for high-performance interconnects using standards such as Ethernet, PCIe, UAL and CXL.
Expert in end-to-end channel modeling and link budget analysis, including statistical (e.g., COM) and time-domain simulation.
In depth understanding of SerDes TX/RX equalization techniques, clocking and power delivery trade-offs.
Experience leading cross-functional teams and driving technical consensus across silicon architecture, circuit design, packaging and system hardware groups.
Experience designing interconnects for large-scale systems such as those in data center or high-performance computing (HPC) environments.
Familiarity with emerging interconnect technologies, including co-packaged optics (CPO), and advanced packaging (e.g., 2.5D/3D integration).
Familiarity with system-level power integrity (PDN) and thermal co-design for large-scale, high-power ASICs.
