Required and preferred rules are kept separate and reflect the wording in the original posting.
About the Role
You will own multilayer PCB layout from component placement through fabrication and assembly release. You will define stackups and routing constraints, route high-speed and power circuits, perform design-for-manufacturing checks, create release packages, and support prototypes, bring-up, failure analysis, and production revisions.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, electronics engineering, a related field, or equivalent practical experience
- 10+ years of complex high-speed multilayer PCB layout experience
- Cadence Allegro PCB Designer and Constraint Manager expertise
- Knowledge of controlled-impedance routing, differential pairs, length matching, return paths, and power distribution
- Experience with BGA escape routing, HDI structures, blind and buried vias, microvias, via-in-pad, and backdrilling
- Knowledge of signal integrity, power integrity, EMI/EMC, thermal design, and high-current routing
- IPC standards and manufacturability-requirements experience
- Ability to create and review PCB fabrication and assembly release packages
- Server or AI accelerator hardware experience
Responsibilities
- Own multilayer PCB layout from component placement through fabrication and assembly release
- Translate schematics and requirements into constraint-driven board designs
- Define stackups, controlled-impedance structures, routing rules, and matching constraints
- Place and route high-speed digital, high-current power, and analog circuits
- Apply signal-integrity and power-integrity practices
- Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, and test partners to resolve layout issues
- Perform design reviews and DFM, DFA, and DFT checks
- Generate and verify fabrication and assembly release packages
- Maintain footprints, padstacks, design libraries, standards, and documentation
- Support prototype builds, board bring-up, failure analysis, and production revisions
