Job responsibilities

  • Own PCB layout, component placement, routing, and fabrication release for complex robotic systems.
  • Collaborate with SI/PI engineers to refine layouts based on simulation results.
  • Implement high-speed routing, controlled impedance, power distribution, decoupling, grounding, EMI/EMC, thermal, and mechanical-integration requirements.
  • Work directly with fabricators and assembly partners to define stack-ups, establish design rules, drive DFM/DFA/DFT reviews, and close findings before release.
  • Prepare fabrication and assembly documentation, including drawings, ODB++, drill files, stack-up tables, and manufacturing notes.
  • Inspect newly received PCBAs and participate in board-level manufacturing failure analysis.
  • Contribute to reusable design constraints and layout workflows, and maintain component-library assets such as symbols, footprints, and 3D models.
  • Have 6+ years of experience designing complex, multilayer PCBs.

Job requirements

  • Experience with rigid-flex boards or other mechanically constrained designs.
  • Experience routing PCIe, DDR, USB, Ethernet, MIPI, or similar high-speed interfaces.
  • Familiarity with SI/PI simulation tools such as Cadence Sigrity or Ansys SIwave.
  • Experience laying out power supplies or other power-electronics circuits or mixed-signal systems.
  • Familiarity with IPC standards, Cadence SKILL scripting, or layout automation.
