Job Description:

We are seeking an experienced Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Layout Engineer to design complex printed circuit boards (PCBs) for high-performance computing systems. The PCB Design Engineer will work independently to lay out and help release cutting-edge, high-speed PCBs into production.

Responsibilities:

Design printed circuit board layouts using computer-aided design software, consistent with electrical engineering circuit-performance, signal-integrity, and EMI specifications; mechanical engineering form factor and thermal requirements; and manufacturing requirements.

Read and interpret schematics, system functionality and performance specifications, and company PCB design guidelines as necessary to complete printed circuit board layouts.

Determine PCB design approaches and parameters.

Influence design decisions related to the analysis and resolution of system-performance issues associated with printed circuit board layout.

Education and Experience:

Associate degree or equivalent technical degree with 10+ years of experience laying out complex, multilayer, high-speed printed circuit boards.

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent technical degree with 4+ years of experience laying out complex, multilayer, high-speed printed circuit boards.

Advanced knowledge of ECAD software, particularly Cadence Allegro PCB Editor required.

Advanced knowledge of PCB design guidelines and design constraints.

Experience performing layout studies, determining component placement, and helping drive sound architectural decisions.

Experience laying out boards with DDR4 or newer, PCIe Gen 4 or newer, high-speed Ser Des, Ethernet, I²C, SPI, and similar interfaces.

Experience with high-speed routing techniques, such as microvias, blind and buried vias, and back drilling.

Experience working with PCB fabrication shops and PCA contract manufacturers.

Experience with liquid-cooled designs is a plus.

Experience helping define ASIC package ball maps is a plus.

Experience with industry-standard form factors, such as PCIe CEM and Open Compute Project, is a plus.

Experience creating symbols and managing symbol libraries is a plus.

Knowledge and

Skills:

Ability to read and interpret schematics, datasheets, and layout guidelines.

Ability to work with—and, when necessary, lead—engagements with design partners, including electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, signal-integrity and power-integrity engineers, and others.

Working knowledge of electronics, including signal- and power-integrity issues.

Understanding of EMC principles and best practices for mitigating  knowledge of Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Test (DFT) principles.

Ability to work independently with loosely defined parameters and perform conceptual analysis.

Ability to work successfully with engineers across various geographies to meet design requirements and schedules.
