Job summary

Amber Semiconductor in Bengaluru, India seeks a Senior/Principal PCB Layout Engineer with 10+ years of experience to design complex, high-power PCBs for demanding electronic systems, including test boards for new silicon ICs.

You will be an Altium Designer expert, skilled in HDI, parasitic control, signal/power integrity, and layout optimization for high-density, mixed-signal circuits. Collaborate with engineers to ensure manufacturability and reliability.

Qualifications

• 10+ years experience in PCB Layout.
• 5+ years experience with Altium Designer.
• A plus, experience with Altium Designer 365.
• Experience with mixed signal (analog and digital), Power, and HDI designs.
• A strong plus, experience with very high current power electronic designs.
• Experience with parasitic and characteristic impedance control.
• Experience with noise, coupling and ringing control in general and for FET drivers.
• Experience with managing design from schematic through fabrication of PCB.

Responsibilities

• Execute Design in Altium Designer.
• Perform advanced component placement, floorplanning, stackup design (based on impedance control and high current requirements), routing, and physical optimization of complex multilayer PCBs.
• Optimize placement and routing to minimize parasitic inductance, capacitance, resistance, crosstalk, electromagnetic coupling in high power distribution networks, reflections, switching noise, ground bounce, ringing, overshoot, undershoot, crosstalk, and unintended capacitive coupling.
• Design for high-density, mixed-signal, analog, and high power-related circuits including optimizing layout for high density low pitch BGA components, ADCs, DAC, clock circuits, and high-power switching regulators.
• Implement advanced routing and interconnect techniques, including HDI, microvias, blind and buried vias, via-in-pad, and back drilling when required.
• Design effective power and ground plane structures, power routing, via arrays, and current-return paths.
• Support DC-DC switching regulators, processors, FPGA, and high-current power delivery layouts as applicable.
• Support several types of communication including characteristic impedance control for single ended and differential signals.
• Balance electrical performance with thermal management, copper requirements, manufacturability, and reliability.
• Define and maintain PCB design rules such as routing rules, clearances, and physical design requirements based on a knowledge of standard and HDI fabrication technologies as well as specific vender requirements.
• Maintain effective separation and routing discipline between sensitive analog signals and high-noise, high power switching or digital circuits.
• Collaborate with electrical engineers to identify layout-induced performance limitations and implement corrective solutions.
• Support design-for-manufacturing, design-for-assembly, and design-for-test reviews.
• Create and maintain library components including schematic symbols and footprints.
• Generate fabrication deliverables, including Gerber, Gerber X2, IPC-2581, ODB++, drill files, fabrication drawings, and any other relevant documentation.
• Work directly with PCB fabrication vendors to resolve manufacturing questions, verify design rule setup before start of design, and ensure accurate production releases.
