Position: Signal Integrity Engineering Manager – Cable Backplane Systems Location: Austin, TX Remote
Responsibilities
Guide a team of signal integrity engineers developing advanced cable‑backplane systems. Communicating and working with customers and internal product managers to understand product requirements/performance specifications and convert those into new product designs, production tooling, manufacturing processes, qualification testing, and the transfer to volume production sites.
Develop efficient simulation methodologies to assess worst‑case performance under manufacturing variability.
Drive Signal Integrity validation test strategy for new technologies partnering across teams to prevent SI issues from affecting product performance and schedule.
Collaborate with internal teams and global customers to define product performance and ensure engineering excellence. Coordinating with peers and other engineering managers within the organization to share best practices.
Drive technology and product roadmaps, presenting vision and solutions to key stakeholders.
Mentor and coach engineering team members, fostering technical growth and clear communication.
Share best practices across teams and champion continuous improvement in design methodology and workflow.
Solve high‑speed design challenges including signal integrity, simulation, test methodologies, and production ramp‑up support.
Support Sales and Applications Engineers to develop strategies for product break‑in at existing and new accounts based on signal integrity and electrical engineering expertise.
Support global factories for ramping up production; advising methods and experiments of builds, measurements, establishing test limits.
Qualifications
