Senior HW PCB Layout Engineer

Role overview

Specific responsibilities

• Design complex, high-density multilayer PCBs for embedded and mission-critical products.
• Own PCB layout from schematic handover through design release and manufacturing.
• Perform placement and routing with SI/PI, EMC/EMI, thermal, mechanical, and manufacturing constraints in mind.
• Define stack-ups, controlled impedance, routing rules, via structures, and copper distribution.
• Layout high-speed interfaces including DDR, PCIe, GbE, USB, MIPI, and other differential interfaces.
• Apply length matching, differential routing, return-path management, grounding, and isolation practices.
• Support mixed-signal, RF, and power layouts and collaborate on PDN and decoupling.
• Coordinate board outlines, connectors, keep-outs, heatsinks, and enclosure constraints with Mechanical Engineering.
• Ensure DFM/DFA/DFT compliance and generate fabrication and assembly data.
• Support design reviews, prototype bring-up, EMC/environmental testing, and production troubleshooting.

Listed skills

• The skills list includes PCL, Ethernet, PCB layout design, Altium Designer, USB, RF, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).

Required qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field.
• At least 8 years of professional PCB layout or electronic hardware design experience.
• Advanced proficiency with Altium Designer and proven complex multilayer, high-density PCB delivery.
• Strong knowledge of high-speed, mixed-signal, and power PCB design; practical PCB fabrication and PCBA assembly experience.
• Understanding of SI/PI, EMC/EMI, manufacturing tolerances, and applicable IPC practices.
• Ability to interpret mechanical drawings or 3D models and coordinate board-level constraints.
• Strong attention to detail, problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills.

Nice to have

• IPC CID or CID+ certification; rugged or high-reliability electronics experience; familiarity with environmental qualification and EMC requirements.
• Experience with SoC, FPGA, memory, RF, high-current power, or sensor designs, or supporting hardware bring-up, EMC/environmental testing, or failure analysis.
