About the role

Senior Engineer Memory Interface Johns Creek, GA or San Jose, CA About the Role We are a leading provider of chip and silicon IP solutions, seeking an exceptional Senior Engineer with signal integrity and package design expertise to join our Memory Interface engineering team. This full-time role involves developing products that boost data speed and security. Reporting to the VP of Engineering, you'll focus on SI/PI modeling, analysis, and simulations for high-speed DDR applications up to 12800+ MT/s.
Key Responsibilities: Develop SI/PI methodologies; collaborate on studies and package designs for DDR products. Define specs and requirements (e.g., packaging, PCB routings, decoupling, simulations, jitter analysis) with design/validation teams. Guide design team via SI/PI studies, simulations, and correlations for top SI performance (e.g., optimal RMT scores). Partner with customers on optimal SI/PI solutions. Support debug and lab bring-up.
Requirements
Qualifications: MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering; 10+ years experience, including DDR4/DDR5 focus. Experience simulating high-speed memory (DDR4/DDR5) and/or SERDES. Strong in EM and transmission line theory. Expertise in equalization (FIR/FFE/DFE/CTLE). Proficient in package/PCB design: editing APD/Allegro files, SI/PI-driven BGA, system simulations. Hands-on correlation of simulations with lab measurements (scopes, TDRs, VNAs).Desirable: Server system knowledge (CPUs to DRAMs); crosstalk/jitter in source-synchronous interfaces for low BER. Skilled in Spice, ADS, HFSS, Q3D/PowerSI. Plus: RedHawk/Totem, XcitePI, Virtuoso familiarity. Valued: Lab experience with passive components, margins, noise (scopes, VNA/TDR).
Preferred: Basic high-speed link circuit knowledge. Excellent communication, writing, presentation skills for customers/teams. Innovative, self-motivated team player with leadership. Benefits Hybrid: 3 days/week in office Compensation: Johns Creek, GA: Base midpoint ~$180K; Bonus 20%; RSUs $80K–$160K. San Jose, CA: Base midpoint ~$210K; Bonus 20%; RSUs $92K–$184K. If you're a technical expert in SI/PI, EM simulation, transmission lines, and lab tools like ADS/HFSS/PowerSI, apply now. Push high-speed memory boundaries with us!

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
