Job Summary
We are seeking an experienced SI/PI Engineer to join our Advanced Silicon Packaging team. In
this role, you will be responsible for signal integrity and power integrity analysis, modeling, and
design optimization of next-generation multi-die packaging architectures including 2.5D/3D
integration, silicon interposers, and high-bandwidth memory (HBM) interfaces.
Key Responsibilities
Perform SI/PI analysis and design optimization for advanced silicon packages (CoWoS,
EMIB, chiplet-based architectures, fan-out wafer-level packaging)
● Develop and validate high-speed channel models for package interconnects including
bumps, microbumps, TSVs, RDL layers, and silicon/organic interposers
● Conduct full-wave electromagnetic (EM) simulations of package structures to
characterize S-parameters, crosstalk, impedance, and insertion/return loss
● Design and optimize Power Distribution Networks (PDN) — including decoupling
strategy, IR drop analysis, and AC impedance profiling from die to board
● Perform time-domain simulations (eye diagram, BER analysis) for high-speed serial and
parallel interfaces (PCIe Gen5/6, UCIe, HBM3/3E, DDR5, SerDes >112 Gbps)
● Collaborate with IC design, package substrate design, PCB layout, and
thermal/mechanical teams to co-optimize package electrical performance
● Develop and correlate simulation models with lab measurements (VNA, TDR,
oscilloscope, power noise measurements)
● Define SI/PI design guidelines and constraints for package substrate stackup, routing
rules, and bump/via assignments
● Support design-for-manufacturability (DFM) reviews with OSAT partners and substrate
vendors
● Investigate and resolve SI/PI-related failures during silicon bring-up and validation
phase
Skill Requirements
5+ years of experience in SI/PI analysis for semiconductor packaging or high-speed
PCB design
● Strong proficiency with industry-standard EM and circuit simulation tools:
○ EM Solvers: Ansys HFSS, Ansys SIwave, Cadence Clarity 3D, Keysight ADS
Momentum
○ Circuit Simulation: Synopsys HSPICE, Cadence Spectre, Keysight ADS
○ PDN Analysis: Ansys RedHawk, Cadence Voltus, Sigrity PowerDC/PowerSI
● Deep understanding of transmission line theory, Maxwell's equations, and S-parameter
analysis
● Experience with high-speed interface protocols (PCIe, UCIe, HBM, DDR, Ethernet
SerDes)
● Proficiency in package stackup design, impedance control, and via transition
optimization
● Hands-on experience with measurement correlation (VNA, TDR/TDT, near-field
scanning)
● Programming/scripting skills (Python, MATLAB, Tcl) for automation and post-processing
