Senior PCB Design Engineer: High-Speed, Rigid-Flex & HDI

UST; Penang; On-site; MYR 90,000 - 130,000; Full time

Job summary

UST is seeking an experienced PCB Design Engineer to execute advanced layout for complex HDI boards and manage high-speed interfaces. You will collaborate with electrical and mechanical teams to optimize SI/PI, thermal performance, and EMI/EMC, while ensuring DFM standards and thorough documentation.

The role covers rigid, flex, and rigid-flex configurations, with emphasis on CAD automation and footprint maintenance. A strong background in Cadence Allegro/OrCAD and/or Altium Designer is required.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical or Electronics Engineering or related field.

Responsibilities

• Execute advanced layout for high-density, high-speed boards (HDI, blind/buried vias, microvias).
• Perform constraint management for high-speed interfaces (e.g., DDRx, PCIe, LVDS).
• Optimize component placement for SI, PI, thermal performance, and EMI/EMC control.
• Develop designs for rigid, flex, and rigid-flex configurations.
• Collaborate with electrical and mechanical teams to resolve design issues and implement simulation-driven changes.
• Ensure DFM standards with fabrication to optimize stack-up, yield, and cost.
• Prepare and maintain documentation: schematics, assembly/fabrication drawings, BOMs, Gerber/ODB++ outputs.
• Maintain ECAD library and footprints.
• Leverage CAD automation tools; Allegro SKILL scripting is a significant advantage.
• Perform layout planning and design reviews.
