Penguin Solutions is seeking a Senior PCB Design Layout Engineer to support the development of high-performance memory and advanced hardware products. This role focuses on complex PCB layout and design execution for high-speed digital, mixed-signal, and power applications, including memory modules, custom memory platforms, and advanced system-level designs.

The ideal candidate will have strong hands‑on experience with Cadence Allegro and OrCAD Capture, high‑speed routing, controlled impedance design, SI/PI design principles, HDI technologies, PCB stack‑up development, power delivery considerations, and manufacturability requirements. This position requires close collaboration with hardware engineering, SI/PI, mechanical, manufacturing, test, fabrication, assembly, and customer‑facing teams to deliver reliable and manufacturable designs from concept through production release.

• Own PCB design layout execution from initial floor planning through release to fabrication and assembly.
• Work closely with hardware engineers, SI/PI engineers, mechanical engineers, PCB designers, manufacturing, and test teams to design new products and modify or sustain existing products.
• Create PCB component footprints per applicable IPC standards and manufacturer data sheets, when needed.
• Create and review multilayer PCB stack‑ups, including impedance‑controlled, high‑speed, mixed‑signal, power, and HDI designs.
• Define board outlines, mechanical constraints, placement keepouts, route keepouts, and other physical design requirements.
• Identify signal topologies and implement electrical constraints using Cadence Allegro Constraint Manager.
• Perform component placement and PCB routing, including differential pairs, controlled impedance lines, fine‑pitch BGA escape routing, and tight length‑matching requirements.
• Define and implement high‑speed PCB design constraints for DDR, PCIe, CXL, and other high‑speed interfaces.
• Work with SI/PI engineers to support signal integrity, power integrity, stack‑up definition, impedance control, routing strategies, return‑path planning, and crosstalk mitigation.
• Support power delivery…
