Job summary

Meta is seeking a Staff PCB Layout Engineer to drive the design and delivery of complex PCBs for its data center and infrastructure hardware. You will define layout architecture, set engineering standards, and collaborate with electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing teams from concept through mass production.

You will lead signal integrity and power integrity analyses, drive manufacturability reviews with vendors, and help scale board-level design practices across programs to ensure

Qualifications

• 8+ years of PCB layout design for high-speed digital systems.
• Experience with Cadence Allegro, Mentor Xpedition, or equivalent.
• Experience defining PCB stack-up configurations, impedance control strategies, and design rule constraints.
• Experience translating simulation results into layout decisions with SI/PI teams.
• Experience leading PCB layout across full product development lifecycle.

Responsibilities

• Define PCB layout architecture and floorplanning strategies for complex boards.
• Establish and own PCB rules, constraints, and guidelines for high-speed interfaces (PCIe, DDR, Ethernet, SerDes).
• Lead SI/PI analyses and drive layout decisions from simulations.
• Drive design-for-manufacturability reviews with contract manufacturers and PCB fabricators.
• Define and maintain organization-wide PCB layout standards and templates.
• Collaborate with mechanical engineers on packaging, thermal management, and enclosure integration.
• Provide technical guidance to other layout engineers across programs.
