Senior HW PCB Layout Engineer

Role

Responsibilities

• Design complex, high-density multilayer PCBs for embedded and mission-critical products and own layouts through release and manufacturing.
• Place and route components considering SI/PI, EMC/EMI, thermal, mechanical, and manufacturing constraints.
• Define stack-ups, controlled impedance, routing rules, via structures, and copper distribution; lay out 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; work with hardware engineers 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 and environmental testing, and production troubleshooting.

Required qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or related field; at least 8 years of PCB layout or electronic hardware design experience.
• Advanced Altium Designer proficiency and proven delivery of complex multilayer, high-density PCB designs.
• Strong high-speed, mixed-signal, and power PCB design knowledge; 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; experience with rugged or high-reliability electronics.
• Familiarity with environmental qualification and EMC requirements.
• PCB layout experience for SoC, FPGA, memory, RF, high-current power, or sensor designs.
• Experience supporting hardware bring-up, EMC or environmental testing, or failure analysis.
