In this role, you will support readiness and scalability for next-generation high-speed I/O technologies (PCI Express, UPI, CXL, USB) by assisting in technology pathfinding projects critical to future server platforms and Intel's data center leadership. You will develop and validate high-fidelity 3D electromagnetic (EM) model libraries for key interconnects-such as connectors, PCB vias, and high-speed cables-using industry-standard tools (e.g., Ansys HFSS, CST, ADS) to support signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) evaluations.You will collaborate with engineers across Intel's I/O community and, as needed, interact with external industry organizations. Under mentorship, you will help execute parametric studies and optimization sweeps to explore SI/PI performance and manufacturability tradeoffs, assist with correlating simulations to lab/bench measurements, and contribute to documentation such as a best-practices / design-guidelines report and reusable modeling workflows for design teams.**Key Responsibilities*** Assist in building, parameterizing, and organizing 3D EM models for connectors, PCB via structures, and high-speed cable/interconnect assemblies using tools such as Ansys HFSS, CST Microwave Studio, and/or ADS.* Run defined parametric studies (geometry, materials, plating/roughness, stack-up, launch transitions) to quantify impact on SI/PI metrics (e.g., insertion/return loss, impedance, mode conversion, crosstalk, resonance behavior) and summarize results.* Support model validation and correlation by helping compare EM results to lab/bench data (e.g., VNA measurements, TDR, fixture de-embedding) and documenting model assumptions, accuracy, and limitations.* Assist with analysis of simulation results to identify trends and potential optimization opportunities, and help capture design tradeoffs (performance, cost, manufacturability) for connector/via/cable implementations.* Help create and maintain deliverables including model files/libraries, solver setups, scripts for parameter sweeps and post-processing, and clear documentation to enable reuse by design teams.* Contribute to a best-practices report and modeling/optimization guidelines for EM extraction workflows supporting SI/PI assessment of connectors, vias, and high-speed cables (e.g., recommended steps, settings, and checklists).* Present progress and findings in team meetings; collaborate with SI/PI, package/board design, and validation engineers to incorporate feedback and improve the model library and documentation.**Behavioral Traits*** Eagerness to learn and apply new technical concepts.* Sense of ownership and accountability for assigned tasks.* Work effectively in a team-oriented environment.* Proactive, organized, and able to manage multiple tasks.* Open to feedback and continuous improvement.**What You Will Learn*** Experience with 3D electromagnetic (EM) simulation for interconnects using industry tools such as Ansys HFSS, CST Microwave Studio, and/or ADS.* Skills on signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) behavior of connectors, PCB vias, and high-speed cables using frequency/time-domain metrics (e.g., S-parameters, TDR, crosstalk).* Skills in workflow automation for parametric sweeps and post-processing (e.g., scripting, data reduction, plotting) to turn simulation runs into actionable insights.* Exposure to model validation and correlation methods, including comparing simulations to lab/bench measurements (e.g., VNA, TDR) and understanding fixture effects and de-embedding concepts.* Experience in creating reusable model libraries and best-practices guidelines, and how to communicate technical results effectively across SI/PI, board design, and validation teams.## **Qualifications:**Minimum qualifications are required to be initially considered for this position. Preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates.Requirements listed would be obtained through a combination of industry relevant job experience, internship experiences and or schoolwork/classes/research.**Minimum Qualifications:*** Pursuing a Bachelor', Master's degree or PhD's Degreen in Electronics or Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related technical field (with at least 1 year remaining before graduation).* 3+ months of experience in Electrical Engineering (both Digital and Analog Electronics).* Advance English level.* Must have unrestricted, permanent right to work in Mexico (this role is not eligible for visa or immigration sponsorship).**Preferred Qualifications:*** Familiarity with signal integrity (SI) fundamentals for high-speed links (e.g., insertion/return loss, impedance discontinuities, crosstalk, mode conversion).* Exposure to power integrity (PI) concepts (e.g., PDN impedance, decoupling, resonance, target impedance).* Hands-on or academic experience with EM simulation tools (Ansys HFSS, CST Microwave Studio, Keysight ADS, or similar).* Understanding S-parameters and basic RF/microwave measurements; familiarity with VNA and/or TDR concepts is a plus.* Knowledge of PCB/interconnect structures (vias, connectors, transmission lines, stack-ups, materials) and manufacturing considerations.* Programming/scripting skills for automation and data analysis (Python preferred; MATLAB/C++ also acceptable).* Experience using lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, signal generators/analyzers, power supplies, probes) and good measurement discipline.A candidate who accepts an offer of employment in Mexico is required to present their own personal identification information and numbers for the following: Mexican Security Number (NSS), Tax Identification Number (RFC) and CURP identification number.## Job Type:Student / Intern## Shift:Shift 1 (Mexico)## Primary Location:Mexico, Guadalajara## Additional Locations:## Business group:At the Data Center Group (DCG), we're committed to delivering exceptional products and delighting our customers.
