Person should have at least 10 years experience in high speed signal integrity and transmission line circuit design - 10Gb/s domain. The person would be required to run H-spice analysis of and complete loss link budget on new connectors, backplane and test vehicles and be able to adjust models to match empirical test data. Deliverables would be: 1 Link Budget 1.1 Assemble and Review System Technical Data 1.2 Develop preliminary system end-to-end Link Budget 1.3 Allocate Line Card performance budget 1.4 Allocate Backplane Card performance budget 2 Test Plan 2.1 Test Plan for Backplane quantitative measurements 2.2 Test Plan for Line Card quantitative measurements 2.3 Test Plan for System quantitative measurements 3 Analysis of Test Data 3.1 Summarize Test Data 3.2 Comparison with Link Budget 3.3 Root Cause Analysis of performance issues 4 Application Guidelines and Recommendations for Improvements 4.1 Development of limits to wiring density and number of discontinuities 4.2 Constraints on driver-receiver characteristics 4.3 Up-dated Link Budget and Application Guidelines 5 On-going Support and Liason 5.1 Attend meetings with vendors 5.2 Attend meetings with potential customers Please contact Matthew O'Connor oconnor@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:oconnor@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> or 1-866-307-9675 ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
