Job Summary

Own signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) for Starlink payload hardware across the full product lifecycle. Specify, design, simulate, verify, qualify, and troubleshoot advanced satellite electronics—covering SERDES/DSP-based wireline and electro-optical links, high-speed memory interfaces, and ASIC power delivery networks. Define SI/PI processes and tools, collaborate deeply with cross-functional engineering teams, and drive root-cause fixes from PCB manufacturing through satellite integration.

Location: Palo Alto

Workplace: Onsite

Employment Type: Full time

Job Function: Energy & Utilities Operations

Seniority: Mid level

Key Responsibilities

•Specify, design, simulate, verify, qualify, and define production screens for SI/PI aspects of advanced satellite hardware.
•Design SI/PI for wireline and electro-optical communication systems and high-speed memory interfaces (including PDNs for associated ASICs).
•Work cross-functionally with RF, antenna, ASIC, packaging, mechanical, thermal, software, supply chain, and production engineers to architect new products.
•Derive PCB material and channel subcomponent specifications, design transition structures, and drive component selection aligned with PDN designs.
•Root cause and fix SI/PI issues found in PCB manufacturing, PCBA test, or satellite integration; define SI/PI best practices, workflows, signoff criteria, and lab equipment needs.

Travel: Low travel

Key Requirements

•Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or physics.
•5+ years of industry experience designing circuits, electronic products, or hardware.
•2+ years using 3D EM simulation tools and high-speed digital channel simulators (e.g., CST, HFSS, ADS).
•2+ years of research or industry experience with high-speed digital design or power integrity.
•Ability to work in highly cross-functional roles and drive SI/PI processes, verification, and debugging.
