Signal & Power Integrity Engineer

Mountain View, CA

What MatX Is Building

MatX is looking for a motivated Signal & Power Integrity (Si/PI) Engineer to join our hardware engineering team to solve cutting-edge technical challenges in high-performance AI chips and systems.

In this role, you’ll work with senior-level engineers to design 224G SerDes channels, including silicon interposer, substrate, extra low-loss PCB and high-speed connectors to ensure reliable high-speed electrical performance. You will also work on designing the power delivery networks to ensure both DC and transient power integrity for accelerator chips and other critical components. 

What You'll Do Here

Signal Integrity (SI) for interfaces of PCIe 6/7, 224-Gbps PAM4, HBM and D2D

  • Optimize interconnects from uBump to C4 bump, substrate uvia, and PTH via and PCB via to minimize the insertion loss
  • Channel Modeling and simulation for interfaces of PCIe 6/7, 224-Gbps PAM4, HBM, D2D based on IP electrical spec and physical design rules 
  • Perform channel analysis using S-parameters, eye-diagram, and BER estimation, insertion loss/crosstalk budgets
  • Generate physical design rules for interposer LSI, substrat,e and PCB layout

Power Integrity (PI)

  • Design and simulate PDN (Power Delivery Networks) from VRM to die/package: impedance targets, decoupling strategy, and resonances
  • Perform frequency-domain impedance and time-domain transient analysis (AC/DC)
  • Evaluate DC IR drop and transient voltage stability under dynamic loading

Measurement & Validation

  • Correlate simulation to lab results using VNA, TDR, and oscilloscope measurements
  • Support bring-up and debug of boards/modules exhibiting SI/PI anomalies
  • Conduct high-speed SerDes bench BER testing to ensure channel performance
  • Perform power transient and noise measurements with oscilloscope

Who You Are

  • BSEE or MSEE in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, or related field
  • 5 - 8 years of experience in SI/PI engineering or related high-speed hardware design
  • Proficiency with industry tools such as Ansys HFSS / SIwave, Keysight ADS, Cadence Clarity and Sigrity, Keysight PathWave, PowerSI, SPICE, etc
  • Familiar with PCB design and substrate design, via optimization and modeling
  • Strong understanding of return-path design, crosstalk mitigation, and PDN target impedance concepts
  • Hands-on lab experience with oscilloscopes, VNAs, and power measurement equipment
  • This is a hybrid role that will require you to work from our Mountain View, CA office 3 days a week on Tuesday through Thursday

Bonus Points If You Have

  • Experience with 224 Gb/s interconnects and CoWoS-L interposer design
  • Scripting skills (Python, MATLAB, TCL) for automation and data processing.
  • Familiarity with high-speed interface protocols (Ethernet/PCIe/HBM) and ability to perform channel analysis based on relevant specifications, such as COM analysis for 224G SerDes

What We Offer

  • A stake in our success A cash/equity mix that fits your needs, and an option to do early exercise
  • Health & Wellness Company subsidized Health, Dental, and Vision insurance; Flexible Savings Accounts (FSA), and a Health Savings Account (HSA) with a lump sum company contribution

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
