Principal Signal and Power Integrity Engineer

Microsoft Microsoft · Big Tech · Raleigh, NC +4 · Silicon Engineering

This role focuses on Signal and Power Integrity (SIPI) for compute and AI SoCs and platforms, ensuring end-to-end power delivery from silicon to the cloud. The engineer will design, model, and simulate power delivery solutions for data center processors and platforms, working closely with various architecture and engineering teams. The role also involves driving future power delivery solutions for chiplet architectures and advanced packaging.

What you'd actually do

  1. PI engineer for compute and AI SoCs and platforms – Implement strategies for end-to-end power delivery design from Silicon to Package, and linking to Platform to System and Cloud
  2. Deliver SIPI solutions that meet the HPC demands across the entire system.
  3. Drive future power delivery solutions for chiplet architecture with advanced packaging and advanced silicon nodes
  4. Design, model, and simulate PI (i.e., incl. IP design, voltage regulator, motherboard, CPU package, silicon, and decoupling capacitor solution) for data center processors and corresponding platforms to ensure optimized performance. Performs DC, AC and transient simulation to provide noise, impedance profile of the whole power delivery path and link/electrical simulations to validate I/O performance from platform to silicon.
  5. Work closely with silicon and platform architects, motherboard and package designers, thermal architects and engineers, and power and performance engineers.
