Internship Pcb Layout Engineer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Job Description:

Senior PCB Layout Engineer

ASenior PCB Layout Engineeris a technical expert responsible for designing complex, high-speed printed circuit boards using theCadence Design SystemsAllegro PCB Designerplatform. This role focuses on advanced constraint-driven layout, signal integrity awareness, manufacturing readiness, and automation (often with SKILL), while leading critical hardware projects.

Role Summary

Design and deliver high-performance, multi-layer PCBs for complex electronic systems such as networking equipment, servers, telecom hardware, aerospace systems, or high-speed embedded platforms. The engineer works closely with hardware, SI/PI, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to ensure first-pass success and production readiness.

Key Responsibilities

Advanced PCB Layout

• Design complex boards (12-40+ layers) usingCadence Allegro PCB Designer
• Perform optimizedcomponent placementfor:
  • High-speed digital
  • Power distribution
  • Thermal performance
  • EMI control
• Route critical interfaces:
  • DDR4/DDR5
  • PCIe Gen4/Gen5+
  • USB 3.x / Type-C
  • Ethernet (10G-112G SerDes)
• Implement:
  • Differential pair routing and tuning
  • Length and phase matching
  • Controlled impedance structures

Constraint & Stackup Management

• Define and manage rules usingConstraint Manager
• Develop stackups with controlled impedance and fabrication feasibility
• Work with PCB vendors to validate materials, via structures, and HDI capability

Signal Integrity & Power Integrity Awareness

• Apply SI/PI best practices:
  • Return path continuity
  • Crosstalk reduction
  • Proper decoupling strategy
• Collaborate with SI/PI teams
• Implement simulation-driven layout changes

HDI and Advanced Technologies

• Blind/buried vias and microvias
• BGA escape for high pin-count devices
• Backdrilling for high-speed signals
• High-current and low-noise power routing

Manufacturing & NPI Support

• Generate fabrication and assembly outputs:
  • ODB++, IPC-2581, Gerber
  • Drill files, drawings, stackup documentation
• Perform DFM/DFA reviews with vendors
• Support prototype builds and resolve manufacturing issues

Leadership

• Mentor junior and mid-level PCB designers
• Lead layout planning and design reviews
• Estimate schedules and manage multiple projects

Required Qualifications

• 8-15+ years of PCB layout experience
• Expert proficiency inCadence Allegro
• Strong knowledge of:
  • High-speed design techniques
  • Impedance control and stackup planning
  • HDI technologies
  • EMI/EMC fundamentals
• Solid understanding of PCB fabrication and assembly processes

Preferred (High-End Systems)

• Networking, server, or telecom hardware experience
• Familiarity with:
  • 25G/56G/112G SerDes
  • Backplane design
  • Thermal/mechanical co-design
• Experience with SI/PI analysis tools

Typical Impact

• Enables first-pass board success (fewer respins)
• Supports higher data rates and system reliability
• Improves team efficiency through automation
• Serves as the technical authority for PCB layout
