You will also collaborate with analog, digital, and mechanical engineers to optimize PCB designs for manufacturability and performance. Typical activities for this role include:

• Develop and optimize PCB layouts using Mentor Xpedition.
• Perform post‑layout simulations including SI/PI analysis using HyperLynx/ADS.
• Support signal routing, stack‑up planning, and component placement to meet design requirements.
• Work closely with analog and digital engineers for cross‑functional design reviews.
• Assist in verifying design performance through simulation and prototype testing.
• Document layout and simulation work to ensure design consistency and reusability.
• Contribute to improving layout practices, design guidelines, and simulation methodologies.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical/Electronics/Computer Engineering or equivalent.
• Proven experience in PCB layout and design, preferably in analog/mixed‑signal or high‑speed circuits.
• Strong knowledge of post‑layout simulation (SI/PI), with hands‑on experience in HyperLynx/ADS.
• Experience with PCB design tools such as Xpedition.
• Understanding of high‑speed PCB design principles, signal integrity, power integrity, and EMI considerations.
• Ability to work independently, prioritize tasks, and collaborate effectively with cross‑functional teams.
• Strong problem‑solving skills, attention to detail, and proactive communication.
• Typically 2–5 years of relevant PCB design experience; internship or project experience can be considered.
