The work

You will develop and run simulation workflows for high-speed PCB designs used to train and validate AI models. The work covers electromagnetic modeling, circuit analysis, signal integrity, and technical documentation.

• Simulate PCB traces, vias, transmission lines, return paths, and other interconnect structures.
• Analyze impedance, insertion loss, return loss, crosstalk, coupling, and signal propagation.
• Extract resistance, inductance, and capacitance using FastHenry and FasterCap.
• Run full-wave electromagnetic simulations and extract S-parameters with OpenEMS.
• Use ngspice for transient and AC circuit analysis with extracted parasitic effects.
• Analyze clock and high-speed digital signals, including delay, skew, rise and fall time, and waveform-based jitter.
• Build Python automation and post-processing workflows with scikit-rf, NumPy, and SciPy.
• Compare simulation results with analytical calculations and trusted reference data.
• Document assumptions, model limits, results, and verification evidence.
