Position Summary
We are seeking an experienced PCB Layout Engineer to support the design and release of complex, high-reliability electronic assemblies. This role is responsible for performing advanced PCB layout for high-speed digital and power electronics designs, including multi-lamination cycle boards up to 32 layers, in accordance with IPC-6012 and related industry standards. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, thrives in technically rigorous environments, and collaborates closely with electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing engineers to deliver first-pass-success designs.
Key Responsibilities
Perform complex PCB layout for advanced electronic systems, including:
Up to 24-layer PCBs
Multi-lamination fabrication stackups
High-speed digital interfaces and mixed-signal designs
Power electronics and power distribution networks
Translate schematics, stackups, and design constraints into manufacturable PCB layouts
Apply IPC-6012, IPC-2221/2222, and internal design rules throughout layout activities, including an understanding of fabricator coupon construction and testing
Execute controlled impedance routing, length matching, differential pair routing, and via optimization
Collaborate with electrical engineers on:
Signal Integrity (SI)
Power Integrity (PI)
EMI/EMC considerations
Work closely with mechanical engineering to ensure proper component placement, keep-outs, and enclosure integration
Support DFM/DFA reviews with fabrication and assembly partners
Generate and release complete PCB manufacturing packages, including:
Fabrication notes
Assembly drawings
Stackup documentation
Gerbers / ODB++ / IPC-2581, etc.
Participate in design reviews and provide layout-specific risk assessments
Support board bring-up and debug activities as needed
Required Qualifications
8+ years of professional PCB layout experience on complex designs
Demonstrated experience with:
High layer count PCB layouts (e.g. 16 layers and higher)
Multi-lamination cycle designs
High-speed digital interfaces (e.g., DDR, SerDes, high-speed clocks, high-speed buses)
Power electronics and PDN design considerations
Strong working knowledge of IPC-6012 and related IPC standards
Proficiency with one or more industry-standard PCB layout tools (e.g., Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, Mentor Xpedition, or equivalent)
Solid understanding of:
Signal integrity and power integrity fundamentals
Controlled impedance routing
EMI/EMC mitigation techniques
Ability to work from detailed schematics and interface effectively with electrical designers
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with aerospace, defense, space, or other high-reliability electronics
Familiarity with AS9100 or ISO 9001 design environments
Experience supporting fabrication and assembly of rigid, rigid-flex, or HDI PCBs
Exposure to advanced materials, back-drilling, microvias, and via-in-pad designs
PCB materials and construction for high-speed signals
Experience working with contract manufacturers and PCB fabricators
Desired Skills & Attributes
Highly detail-oriented with strong documentation discipline
Comfortable working in fast-paced, technically demanding environments
Strong communication and collaboration skills
Ability to manage multiple layout tasks and priorities simultaneously
Proactive mindset toward design quality and risk reduction
Compensation & Benefits
Competitive salary commensurate with experience
Equity participation through incentive stock options
Health/medical, dental, vision, 401(k), PTO benefits
Flexible work from home options available.
