Role overview

Senior Hardware PCB Layout Engineer designing and delivering complex, high-density printed circuit boards for embedded electronic products.

Owns PCB layout from schematic handover through design release, working with hardware, mechanical, RF, FPGA, thermal, and manufacturing teams.

PCB design and delivery

  • Design complex, high-density multilayer PCBs for embedded and mission-critical products; own layout through design release and manufacturing.
  • Perform placement and routing considering SI/PI, EMC/EMI, thermal, mechanical, and manufacturing constraints.
  • Define stack-ups, controlled impedance, routing rules, via structures, and copper distribution.
  • Layout high-speed 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; 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.

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 delivery of complex multilayer, high-density PCB designs.
  • Strong knowledge of high-speed, mixed-signal, and power PCB design; practical PCB fabrication and PCBA assembly experience.
  • Good 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.
  • Experience with rugged or high-reliability electronics and familiarity with environmental qualification or EMC requirements.
  • PCB layout experience for SoC, FPGA, memory, RF, high-current power, or sensor designs.
  • Experience supporting hardware bring-up, EMC testing, environmental testing, or failure analysis.

Team and compensation

The employer describes an international team with low hierarchy and offers compensation described as very good; no amount or pay cadence is specified.
