Job description

We are seeking a Senior PCB Design Engineer to support new product development and sustaining engineering for advanced memory and storage products. This role is responsible for delivering high-quality PCB designs for complex, high-speed design through advanced PCB layout, design optimization, and cross-functional collaboration. The engineer will work closely with Hardware, Mechanical, SI/PI, Manufacturing, and Project teams to ensure robust, manufacturable, and reliable product designs.

Responsibilities

Design and develop advanced layout for complex, high-density, and high-speed multi-layer boards (including HDI, blind/buried vias, skip vias and microvias).

Optimize component placement and routing for signal integrity (SI), power integrity (PI), thermal performance, and EMI/EMC control.

Develop high-quality designs for various board types, including rigid and rigid-flex configurations.

Work closely with Hardware, Mechanical, SI/PI, manufacturing and Project teams to interpret requirements, resolve design issues, and implement layout changes.

Work with PCB fabrication to ensure Design for Manufacturing (DFM) standards are met, optimizing stack-up and maximizing manufacturing yield.

Prepare and maintain comprehensive documentation for release packages, including detailed assembly and fabrication drawings and Gerber files.

Perform PCB layout planning, design reviews, design verification and design change activities.

Drive continuous improvement initiatives to enhance PCB design methodologies, efficiency, design quality and best practices.

Requirements

Master's Degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Mechatronics.

Minimum 5–8 years of experience in complex PCB design and layout.

Experience with DDR4/DDR5, PCIe Gen4/Gen5/Gen6, SATA, USB, or similar high-speed interfaces is highly desirable.

Experience designing high-speed PCBs for memory and storage products is highly preferred.

Strong understanding of high-speed PCB design, impedance control, stack-up planning, signal integrity and power integrity considerations.

Strong knowledge of PCB fabrication and assembly processes, IPC standards, and DFM/DFA principles.

Proficient in Cadence Allegro/OrCAD, Allegro X software.

Experience with PCB documentation, engineering change processes, and product release.

Strong analytical, problem-solving and teamwork skills.

Good communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to collaborate effectively across cross-functional teams.

Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a fast-paced R&D environment.
