Staff PCB Layout Engineer: High-Speed Data Center Boards

Meta; Augusta (ME); On-site; USD 173,000 - 245,000; Full time

Job summary

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

You will lead signal integrity and power integrity analyses, establish design rules for PCIe, DDR, Ethernet, and SerDes, and guide multiple concurrent programs toward reliable, scalable solutions.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of PCB layout experience for high-speed digital systems (infrastructure/data center hardware).
• Define PCB layout architecture, stack-up, impedance, and design rules for high-layer-count boards.
• Lead signal integrity and power integrity analysis and translate results into layout decisions.

Responsibilities

• Define PCB layout architecture and floorplanning for complex boards.
• Establish and own PCB design rules and constraints for high-speed interfaces (PCIe, DDR, Ethernet, SerDes).
• Lead SI/PI analysis in collaboration with EE teams and drive layout decisions from simulations.
• Drive DFM reviews with contract manufacturers to meet yield and cost targets.
• Define and maintain organization-wide PCB layout standards and templates.
• Collaborate with mechanical engineers to resolve packaging, thermal, and enclosure integration issues.
• Provide guidance to other layout engineers across programs.
• Collaborate with supply chain and component teams to evaluate alternative components and footprints.
• Lead post-layout verification (E-R checks, DRCs) and pre-production bring-up.
• Evaluate and introduce new EDA tooling and fabrication technologies to improve quality and cycle time.
