• Stackup review and layer assignment for High speed and PDN.
• Lead SIPI validation methodology and develop detailed engineering test plans.
• Validate PDN impedance in lab to correlate simulation results and improve design flow.
• Use simulation and lab data to support design troubleshooting and propose corrective actions, drive failure analysis, root cause efforts, and design of experiments to resolve problems.
• Analyze chip/package/PCB PDNs and make design trade-offs and negotiate power budgets.
• Provide design specifications and guidelines with clear risk tradeoffs to our cross-functional partners.
• Explore various design elements including different sensors, modules, memories, low/high speed buses, cables, connectors, flexible and rigid PCBs (FLEX), their physics of operation, and impacts on system performance.
• Provide system SI design guidance and perform post-layout review and optimization.
• Work closely with silicon team, EE design team and PCB layout team to optimize SI design based on the simulation data;.
• Use simulation and lab data to support design troubleshooting and propose corrective actions, drive failure analysis, root cause efforts, and design of experiments to resolve problems.
• Generate simulation reports based on the data and communicate with Cross-functional teams with clear SI recommendations.
