At Micron, our commitment to people, innovation, tenacity, collaboration, and customer focus helps us deliver leading-edge solutions and create meaningful career opportunities. This is an on‑site role based in Boise, Idaho.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the PCB design process from initial requirements and pre‑layout planning through physical layout, design review, release, fabrication, and assembly support.
• Perform pre‑engineering activities required before layout begins, including requirements capture, constraint development, board stackup definition, floor‑planning, placement strategy, and coordination of design inputs.
• Create detailed physical layouts for complex, high‑speed PCBs with a strong emphasis on signal integrity, power integrity, manufacturability, and reliability.
• Partner closely with product engineering, signal integrity, mechanical, manufacturing, and other cross‑functional teams to develop robust PCB solutions.
• Develop and apply PCB design rules, standards, and best practices that support Micron’s advanced engineering needs.
• Conduct and support design reviews to ensure layouts meet electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, and quality requirements.
• Evaluate existing PCB designs, identify improvement opportunities, and implement enhancements that improve quality, performance, and efficiency.
• Prepare and verify fabrication and assembly deliverables, support release documentation, and collaborate with internal and external partners throughout the build process.
• Manage multiple design requests and changing priorities while maintaining schedule commitments and design quality.
• Serve as a technical resource for innovative PCB layout solutions and contribute to continuous improvement of design methodologies and workflows.

Required Qualifications

• Extensive experience in PCB layout design, including ownership of complex board designs from concept through release.
• Strong command of PCB manufacturing processes, fabrication requirements, assembly considerations, and design‑for‑manufacturability principles.
• Deep understanding of high‑speed PCB design principles, signal integrity constraints, and power distribution network design techniques.
• Proficiency with Cadence Allegro PCB design tools.
• Experience performing front‑end or pre‑engineering tasks such as stackup planning, constraint definition, floor‑planning, and design rule development.
• Ability to solve complex technical problems and work effectively in a fast‑paced environment with changing priorities.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively across engineering disciplines.
• A positive, team‑oriented, can‑do attitude and a strong sense of ownership and accountability.

Preferred Qualifications

• Completion of signal integrity coursework, certifications, or industry training.
• Familiarity with industry standards related to PCB layout, documentation, and manufacturing processes.
• Experience with high‑density, high‑speed, or advanced memory‑related PCB designs is a plus.
• CID or CID+ certification preferred.

Education

Bachelor’s degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
