Senior Signal Integrity Engineer

Position: Senior Signal Integrity Engineer

Location: Hampton Beach, NH

Ardent Concepts, an Amphenol company, is a leading designer and manufacturer of
high performance multicoax and coaxial interconnect assemblies, connectors, and
interfaces used in the development of next generation semiconductors, quantum
computers, and electronics systems. Ardent was built on core technologies that
yield the smallest, fastest, and most electrically efficient compression mount
connector interfaces worldwide. As data rate requirements increase and devices
and systems shrink, Ardent's products deliver superior signal integrity in a
dense footprint that can be reusable across programs to maximize cost savings.

Our focus is on helping bring next generation computing to market through novel
connector designs for test & measurement, OEM applications, and specialized
military applications. Ardent's patented contact technologies are well suited
for advanced multi-GHz applications such as board stack connectors, coaxial
connectors, FPGA sockets, flex circuit connectors, probe interfaces, and
mezzanine card connectors. We have a complete line of high-performance
interfaces for the most advanced chipsets such as RF devices, ASICS, switches,
processors, and MEMS devices. We support chip to chip, chip to board, board to
board, and flex to board applications.

We are currently seeking a Senior Signal Integrity Engineer to join our team and
lead the Ardent SI community and help drive new product development. Ardent
