Job description

PCB Layout Design Engineer will be responsible for translating circuit schematics into manufacturable PCB layouts while ensuring signal integrity, mechanical compatibility, and industry standards compliance.

Key Responsibilities:

• Create PCB layouts based on schematics provided by hardware engineers.
• Handle component placement, routing, and stack-up definition considering electrical and mechanical constraints.
• Design multi-layer PCBs with high-speed, high-density, and mixed-signal designs.
• Ensure compliance with DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and DFT (Design for Test) guidelines.
• Work closely with hardware, mechanical, and production teams to ensure PCB layout accuracy and fit.
• Optimize trace routing for signal integrity, EMI/EMC, thermal performance, and impedance control.
• Generate fabrication (Gerber/ODB++) and assembly files, drawings, and BOMs for manufacturing.
• Collaborate with PCB vendors and CMs for layout reviews and production support.
• Participate in PCB bring-up, design reviews, and provide revision support.

Required Qualifications and Experience:

• Bachelor's/Master's degree in Electronics, Electrical, or related field.
• 3+ years of hands-on experience in PCB layout design.
• Proficiency with industry-standard EDA tools like Altium Designer, KiCAD,Allegro.
• Experience with multi-layer PCBs, high-speed routing, differential pairs, impedance control, and power planes.
• Understanding of PCB manufacturing processes and materials.
• Familiar with EMI/EMC layout practices and IPC standards (IPC-2221, IPC-7351).
• Ability to interpret mechanical drawings and 3D models (STEP files).
• Strong documentation skills and attention to detail.

Good to have skills:

• Knowledge of SI/PI simulation tools is a plus.
• Understanding of IPC Class II/III workmanship standards.

Personal Attributes:

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills & Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
