About the Role

Lead the physical design and layout of complex printed circuit boards from schematic capture through to manufacturing, collaborating with cross-functional teams to meet strict design constraints.

Responsibilities

• Execute the layout, routing, and component placement of high-density, multi-layer PCBs using advanced CAD software.
• Route high-speed digital, analog, and mixed-signal circuits adhering to complex design constraints.
• Implement and optimize the Power Delivery Network (PDN) by executing board layouts that satisfy voltage drop and impedance targets.
• Optimize decoupling capacitor placements and manage thermal constraints in high-current AI hardware designs.
• Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, and thermal engineers to optimize board layout for form factor, thermal management, and system performance.
• Ensure all designs comply with Design for Manufacturability (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), and Design for Testability (DFT) guidelines.
• Generate, review, and manage complete manufacturing release packages.
• Apply deep knowledge of IPC standards and ensure layouts comply with EMI/EMC regulations and safety standards.
• Lead layout design reviews, establish internal best practices, and provide technical guidance to junior layout designers.
