Meta; Boise (ID); 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 PCBs for data center infrastructure. You will define layout architecture and engineering standards for high-speed digital, power delivery, and signal integrity-critical designs powering Meta's platforms.

You will partner with electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to shape board-level design strategy from concept through mass production, ensuring reliability and performance at scale.

Qualifications

• Define PCB layout architecture and floorplanning strategies for high-layer-count boards used in infrastructure hardware.
• Establish and own PCB design rules, constraints, and layout guidelines for high-speed interfaces (PCIe, DDR, Ethernet, SerDes).
• Lead signal integrity and power integrity analysis in collaboration with engineering teams and translate results into layout decisions.
• Drive design-for-manufacturability reviews with contract manufacturers to meet yield, reliability, and cost targets.
• Define and maintain organization-wide PCB layout standards, templates, and best practices.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with mechanical engineers to resolve packaging constraints, thermal management, and enclosure integration.
• Provide technical guidance to other layout engineers across multiple programs.
• Partner with supply chain and component teams to evaluate alternative components and footprints.
• Lead post-layout verification activities including DRC/ERC checks and pre-production bring-up support.
• Evaluate and introduce new EDA tooling and fabrication technologies to improve quality and cycle time.
