Job summary

IC Resources is seeking a Senior HW Engineer – PCB Layout to join a growing deep-tech engineering team focused on advanced computing and high-performance electronic systems. You will own PCB layout activities from schematic handoff through to fabrication release, driving high-layer-count, high-speed PCBs using constraint-driven design methodologies.

You will develop stack-ups/HDI structures, implement controlled impedance routing, differential pairs, length matching and phase matching, and

Qualifications

• Extensive PCB layout experience on complex, high-speed electronic products.
• Proven experience delivering multilayer PCB designs into production.
• Strong experience with Cadence Allegro or Altium Designer.
• HDI PCB design experience (Microvias, Via-in-pad, stacked vias, back-drilling).

Responsibilities

• Own PCB layout activities from schematic handoff through to fabrication release.
• Design high-layer-count, high-speed PCBs using constraint-driven design methodologies.
• Develop stack-ups and HDI structures for complex electronic systems.
• Implement controlled impedance routing, differential pairs, length matching and phase matching requirements.
• Support BGA breakout and placement for large FPGAs, ASICs and fine-pitch devices.
• Translate SI/PI requirements into practical layout constraints.
• Work with hardware, mechanical and manufacturing teams to optimise performance and manufacturability.
• Produce manufacturing outputs including Gerber files, ODB++ and drill files.
• Lead DFM, DFA and DFT reviews.
• Act as the primary technical contact for PCB fabricators and assembly partners.
• Manage PCB libraries, CAD standards, footprints and design templates.
• Support product development from early prototypes through volume manufacture.
