## Description

We are seeking an experienced Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Layout Engineer to design complex printed circuit boards (PCBs) for high-performance computing systems. The PCB Design Engineer will work independently to lay out and help release cutting-edge, high-speed PCBs into production.

Responsibilities:

- Design printed circuit board layouts using computer-aided design software, consistent with electrical engineering circuit-performance, signal-integrity, and EMI specifications; mechanical engineering form factor and thermal requirements; and manufacturing requirements.

- Read and interpret schematics, system functionality and performance specifications, and company PCB design guidelines as necessary to complete printed circuit board layouts.

- Determine PCB design approaches and parameters.

- Influence design decisions related to the analysis and resolution of system-performance issues associated with printed circuit board layout.

Education and Experience:

- Associate degree or equivalent technical degree with 10+ years of experience laying out complex, multilayer, high-speed printed circuit boards.

- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent technical degree with 4+ years of experience laying out complex, multilayer, high-speed printed circuit boards.

- Advanced knowledge of ECAD software, particularly Cadence Allegro PCB Editor required.

- Advanced knowledge of PCB design guidelines and design constraints.

- Experience performing layout studies, determining component placement, and helping drive sound architectural decisions.

- Experience laying out boards with DDR4 or newer, PCIe Gen 4 or newer, high-speed SerDes, Ethernet, I²C, SPI, and similar interfaces.

- Experience with high-speed routing techniques, such as microvias, blind and buried vias, and backdrilling.

- Experience working with PCB fabrication shops and PCA contract manufacturers.

- Experience with liquid-cooled designs is a plus.

- Experience helping define ASIC package ball maps is a plus.

- Experience with industry-standard form factors, such as PCIe CEM and Open Compute Project, is a plus.

- Experience creating symbols and managing symbol libraries is a plus.

Knowledge and Skills:

- Ability to read and interpret schematics, datasheets, and layout guidelines.

- Ability to work with,and, when necessary, lead,engagements with design partners, including electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, signal-integrity and power-integrity engineers, and others.

- Working knowledge of electronics, including signal- and power-integrity issues.

- Understanding of EMC principles and best practices for mitigating EMI.

- In-depth knowledge of Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Test (DFT) principles.

- Ability to work independently with loosely defined parameters and perform conceptual analysis.

- Ability to work successfully with engineers across various geographies to meet design requirements and schedules.

- Ability to manage multiple board designs simultaneously.

- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
