The posting

CScale is a startup backed by Sutter Hill Ventures and Atreides Capital - headquartered in Palo Alto, CA. Our executive team has a demonstrated track record of building and scaling category-defining semiconductor and infrastructure businesses at companies like Broadcom, Lumentum, Tesla, Apple, Samsung, Intel, and VMware.

CScale is developing next-generation optical semiconductor solutions for the AI infrastructure market, focused on enabling true “scale-up” architectures. Our mission is to replace traditional copper interconnects with advanced fiber-optic technologies that overcome the limitations of existing optics solutions and architectures.

The Role

This position owns the electrical performance of CspeedIO optical engine packages across three areas: signal integrity between the electronic IC and the photonic dies inside the package; signal integrity across the channel between the CspeedIO package and the host ASIC; and power integrity for the package as a whole. This role defines the modeling and measurement approach as much as it applies one.

You will drive the electrical definition of the package architecture rather than validate a design handed to you after floorplan freeze.

Responsibilities

3D EM modeling and correlation

  • Perform 3D EM design and simulation of high-speed interconnects.
  • Model and characterize in-package interconnect between the electronic IC and the photonic dies, including transition structures.
  • Develop and validate test vehicles to characterize next-generation PCB materials, packages, and interconnects.
  • Conduct S-parameter and time-domain measurement to extract channel performance and correlate against simulation.

Channel architecture and standards compliance

  • Perform link-level analysis against advanced high-speed standards, and design package substrate stackups, via structures, breakout regions, and connector transitions to meet IEEE, CEI, and MSA compliance.
  • Define routing constraints, reference plane design, and return path continuity to hold signal degradation within budget.

Power delivery

  • Design and optimize PDNs to meet target impedance, minimize noise coupling, and support fast transient loads for high-speed DSPs and ICs.

Design collaboration and bring-up

  • Work with CMOS design, optical, and packaging teams to converge stack-up, breakout, and routing strategy for high-density designs without sacrificing manufacturability or reliability.
  • Provide SI/PI layout guidelines to package substrate designers, and review placement and routing on high-speed paths and power domains before release.
  • Support bring-up and validation.

Required Qualifications

  • BS or higher in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, or a related field, with emphasis on electromagnetics, signal integrity, power integrity, or high-speed digital design.
  • 7+ years of package-level SI/PI analysis experience on high-speed interconnects in optical, networking, or high-performance hardware systems.
  • Hands-on proficiency with 2.5D/3D EM solvers: Ansys HFSS, SiWave, Cadence Sigrity, CST, or Keysight ADS.
  • Command of signal integrity fundamentals, including S-parameter analysis and channel modeling.
  • High-speed differential signal integrity at 224G or similar.
  • Working knowledge of PCB and package substrate stackup design, via modeling, impedance control, and crosstalk mitigation.
  • Working knowledge of power delivery design: decoupling strategy, PDN impedance analysis, and noise mitigation.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Co-packaged optics or interposer-structure package experience.
  • Custom model and workflow development for EM simulation or measurement automation.
  • 2.5D/3D package architecture experience extending beyond interconnect-level SI/PI.
  • 448G signaling, or UCIe or similar die-to-die interfaces

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
