About the Role

We are seeking a detail-oriented PCB Layout Engineer to maintain electronic component libraries and develop printed circuit board layouts. This role works closely with electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, procurement, and NPI to ensure component data and PCB designs are accurate, consistent, and ready for production.

Responsibilities

Create, verify, and maintain schematic symbols, PCB footprints, and associated 3D models.
Validate component pin assignments, dimensions, land patterns, and library attributes against manufacturer documentation.
Maintain library naming conventions, revision control, and component approval processes.
Develop PCB layouts from approved schematics, including component placement, routing, stackup coordination, and design rule setup.
Collaborate with engineers to address electrical, mechanical, thermal, and manufacturing requirements.
Run design rule checks, resolve layout issues, and participate in design reviews.
Prepare fabrication and assembly deliverables, including Gerber or ODB++ files, drill files, drawings, and pick-and-place data.
Coordinate with PCB fabricators and assembly suppliers to resolve manufacturing questions.
Support engineering changes and maintain accurate release documentation.
Work with procurement and engineering to identify obsolete components and evaluate suitable alternatives.

Requirements

Proficiency in Cadence Allegro/OrCAD.
Ability to interpret schematics, component datasheets, and mechanical drawings.
Working knowledge of PCB fabrication, assembly processes, and design for manufacturability.
Familiarity with relevant IPC standards for PCB design and component land patterns.
Strong attention to detail, documentation skills, and ability to manage competing priorities.
Experience with multilayer, high-density, mixed-signal, and high-speed PCB designs.
Familiarity with signal integrity, power integrity, grounding, and EMI/EMC considerations.
