Files H-1B transfers
10 transfer filings in the last year, covering 10 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 28 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.
Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.

About the role
- This position offers a unique opportunity to solve complex interactions across digital, analog and photonics domains while meeting stringent power integrity goals.
Responsibilities
- Support the design and analysis of Power Delivery Networks (PDNs) for digital and analog SoC domains, including path from voltage regulators to on-chip decoupling capacitors.
- Perform basic time-domain and frequency-domain simulations to evaluate supply rail behavior and identify potential issues such as voltage droop or overshoot.
- Conduct lab measurements to validate power integrity design, including use of programmable loads and oscilloscopes to capture transient response.
- Work closely with hardware designers, layout engineers, and system integrators to implement PDN design improvements and validate results.
- Participate in design reviews and contribute to documentation of analysis results, test procedures, and design recommendations.
- Support senior engineers in system-level tradeoff studies and architectural evaluations related to power integrity.
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience in power delivery and power integrity analysis for high performance CPUs and compute SoCs.
- Proficiency in using simulation and analysis tools for power integrity, including PowerSI, PowerDC, IDEM, H-Spice and Keysight ADS.
- Experience with PCB design and layout considerations for power integrity, including layer stack-up assignment, power plane partitioning, capacitor selection and placement, and microvia/PTH design.
- M.S. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
- Experience in DC-DC converter design.
- Strong problem-solving and debugging skills for power integrity-related issues.
Nice to have
- Working knowledge of different 2D/2.5D/3D packaging technologies and associated PDN challenges.
- Familiarity in using lab equipment for signal measurement and characterization, such as oscilloscopes and network analyzers.
- Proficiency in scripting languages such as Skill, TCL, Python, and Matlab for automation of design and modeling flows and post-processing results
Compensation
- total compensation goes beyond base salary, it also includes a new hire equity grant, annual performance-based equity, and other rewards that recognize your impact and contribution.
- $157,000 - $176,000 USD
