Senior Hardware Design Engineer – High-Speed PCB & SoM

VERSOM; Çankaya; On-site; TRY 420,000 - 640,000; Full time

Job summary

VERSOM in Ankara seeks a Hardware Design Engineer with a strong PCB layout focus to transform schematics into high-density, manufacturable PCBs for defense, aerospace, and industrial applications.

You will define stackups, route DDR4/LPDDR4/LPDDR5, PCIe, GTY/GTYP, Ethernet, and USB interfaces, and implement HDI structures, PDNs, and impedance control. Collaboration with fabrication suppliers and SI/PI analyses are core parts of the role.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, or related field.
• At least 5 years of hands-on PCB layout experience on complex multilayer boards.
• Proficiency in PCB design tools such as Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, or Siemens Xpedition/PADS.
• Experience with DDR memory interfaces and high-speed serial interfaces (PCIe, GTY/GTYP, Ethernet).
• Experience designing 10+ layer boards, fine-pitch BGA fan-out, and HDI technologies.
• Understanding of impedance, stackups, return paths, crosstalk, EMI/EMC-aware layouts.
• Knowledge of IPC standards and DFM/DFA.
• Experience with manufacturing docs and working with PCB fabrication/assembly suppliers.
• Ability to read schematics and datasheets; strong technical English.

Responsibilities

• PCB component placement and routing for AMD SoC-based SoMs and carrier boards from schematic handoff to release.
• Define PCB stackups and impedance structures with hardware team and PCB vendors.
• Route high-speed interfaces (DDR4, LPDDR4/LPDDR5, PCIe, multi-gigabit transceivers, Ethernet, USB) with length/phase matching.
• Implement fine-pitch BGA fan-out and HDI structures (microvias, blind/buried vias, via-in-pad).
• Design PDNs, planes, and decoupling with PI and thermal considerations.
• Support SI/PI analyses and layout iterations; maintain schematics and footprints.
• Coordinate with mechanical for outlines, connectors, enclosures; exchange STEP/IDF data.
• Prepare Gerber/ODB++ files, drill files, assembly drawings, pick-and-place files, notes.
• Collaborate with PCB fabrication/assembly suppliers and assist prototype bring-up.
