Senior PCB Layout Engineer – High‑Speed, Multi‑Layer

Expleo Group; Vaud; On-site; CHF 120,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

Expleo is seeking a Senior Electronic Board Layout Designer to own the full PCB layout cycle for complex, multi‑layer boards and to translate electrical, RF and mechanical requirements into production‑ready designs. You will release complete manufacturing packages in Lausanne, collaborating with HW, RF, Mechanical, and Embedded teams.

The role requires 10+ years of PCB experience, expert Altium skills, and strong English communication.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience designing complex multi-layer PCBs (12+ layers) in regulated or demanding environments such as aerospace, medical, automotive, or industrial electronics.
• Expert proficiency with Altium Designer/Altium 365, including hierarchical design, rooms-based replication, and advanced layout workflows.
• Experience with high-speed digital interfaces, FPGA placement and routing, mixed-signal constraints, and low-noise board design.
• Strong understanding of Design-for-Manufacturing, Design-for-Assembly, and Design-for-Testing/Maintenance principles.
• Solid library management experience and knowledge of PCB stack-ups, controlled impedance routing, and signal integrity fundamentals.
• Clear, concise communication skills in English (written and verbal).
• Ability to work at least 3 days per week onsite in Lausanne

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end PCB layout, from requirements and constraints through placement, routing, checks, documentation, and manufacturing release.
• Design complex multilayer PCBs (10–20+ layers) including high-speed interfaces (Ethernet/DDR), FPGA-centric subsystems, mixed-signal, power distribution, and RF sections where applicable.
• Apply SI/PI and EMC best practices: controlled impedance, differential pairs, return paths, length matching, crosstalk mitigation, and decoupling.
• Work hands-on in Altium Designer / Altium 365, using hierarchical design, rooms/replication, templates, and robust library management.
• Generate and release complete PCB/PCBA manufacturing data via PLM, and drive DFM/DFA/DFT with fabrication and EMS partners.
• Collaborate closely with HW, RF, Mechanical (SolidWorks), and Embedded teams, supporting prototypes, root-cause analysis, and ECN/PCN updates.
