Our Electrical Engineering team puts the spark into the full hardware development lifecycle, from concept to production. It takes experts in system architecture definition, design, analysis, prototyping, sourcing & the debugging and validation of layouts or routes to deliver state-of-the-art products for a changing world. We work closely with designers, cross-functional teams within Dell Technologies and suppliers to make sure electronic designs meet a range of requirements, including schedule, feature set, functionality and quality, as well as industry standards.

You will:

• Develop, test and validate simulation models to ensure the accuracy of simulation results through correlation studies; perform analysis of electrical designs and simulate viable routing, material and interconnect solutions to define a "solution space" and develop design constraints for new high-speed interfaces
• Devise optimized simulation strategies necessary to characterize worst case system conditions for high volume manufacturing and environmental variations
• Participate in design reviews for platforms internal and external to Dell and provide guidance relating to signal integrity rules and best practices
• Lead the development of electrical validation test plans for new technologies and assist in the resolution of signal integrity issues before they impact product delivery and/or quality
• Engage with key technology and strategic suppliers to co-develop platform guidelines and simulation tools and to collaborate on future technology directions and ecosystem challenges associated with high frequency interfaces and materials

Essential Requirements

• 12+ years’ experience as a signal integrity engineer or related skill; must include experience with server design and experience with both Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) and Double Data Rate (DDR) interfaces
• Solid understanding of transmission line, electromagnetic field and analog/digital theory and principles
• Ability to read and understand technical data sheets, circuit schematics and mechanical drawings
• Experience using signal integrity tools and applications (2D, 3D and Power) and advanced test/measurement equipment for signal integrity tasks
• Experience collaborating with customers and defining/executing solutions

Desirable Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in either electrical engineering or computer engineering
