Simulation Lead for Optiplex GX240/GX260/GX270 and yet to be released Precision
workstations. SI representative in weekly conference calls with various
vendors. Provided SI updates on a weekly basis in the technical,
cross-functional meetings. In the capacity as SI lead, I produced the SI
schedule document to track SI deliverables and issues, escalated issues
affecting the project schedule to upper management, resolved the issues and met
project deadlines.
* Other duties included:
· Performed pre- and post-layout signal integrity analysis and simulation on
PCI Express
using HSPICE. Performed Worst Case Loss, Jitter, AC/DC Common mode analysis
to
develop layout guidelines.
· Performed signal integrity, crosstalk, timing analysis for FSB (Front side
bus), AGP 8X
(Accelerated graphics port) using SPECCTRAQuest.
· Procured IBIS models and performed model verification using Model Integrity
to ensure
accuracy and stability of use.
· Guided layouts for placement, routing topology, power planes, layer usage,
etc.
· Delivered design rule sets to CAD for various interfaces like FSB, DDR, AGP,
Clocks,
PCI Express, USB, SATA, etc.
· Worked with teammates to design stackups to meet impedance, power integrity,
EMI
and manufacturing requirements.
· Developed SI validation test plans, took measurements with TDR analyzers,
Oscilloscopes to verify signal quality and timing in the lab.
· Worked with the EA (Electrical Analysis) lab technicians to ensure they
understood the
validation test plan, oversaw test execution and offered explanations when
needed.
· Interfaced with hardware engineers, EMC, and CAD designers to implement
solutions.
