Summary

Celestica's Hardware Platform Solutions (HPS) offers a range of products focused on networking, storage, and compute solutions for data centers and cloud environments. These solutions include high-performance networking switches, storage controllers, and compute platforms, designed for demanding workloads like AI, machine learning, and high-performance computing. The Signal and Power Integrity (SIPI) Engineer will play a critical role in the providing of these digital PCB designs, simulation and troubleshooting signal and power integrity issues on completed designs. SIPI will also be expected to help with design review of critical PCBs for signal and power integrity concerns. Good communications skills and ability to work with global teams is required. This role works in cross functional teams with other designers, suppliers, customers, manufacturing engineering and project leadership to ensure robust and high quality product development. #LI-LX1
