What does a pcb layout engineer do?

A PCB Layout Engineer designs and develops printed circuit board (PCB) layouts for electronic systems, ensuring optimal performance, reliability, and manufacturability. They work with schematic diagrams, component placements, and routing to create efficient designs that meet electrical and mechanical requirements. Using software tools like Altium Designer, OrCAD, or Eagle, they optimize signal integrity, thermal management, and design rule compliance. PCB Layout Engineers collaborate with hardware engineers, manufacturers, and quality teams to refine designs before production. Their work is critical in industries like consumer electronics, automotive, aerospace, and telecommunications.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a pcb layout engineer?

To thrive as a PCB Layout Engineer, you need a strong background in electronics engineering, PCB design principles, and circuit analysis, typically supported by a relevant degree or equivalent experience. Familiarity with industry-standard PCB design tools such as Altium Designer, OrCAD, or Mentor Graphics, along with knowledge of IPC standards and design for manufacturability, is crucial. Attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and effective communication are key soft skills that set candidates apart. These competencies are vital for ensuring reliable, manufacturable designs that meet project requirements and support seamless collaboration with multidisciplinary teams.

What are some typical challenges faced by pcb layout engineers, and how can I prepare for them?

PCB Layout Engineers often encounter challenges such as managing complex design constraints, ensuring signal integrity, meeting tight deadlines, and coordinating requirements from multiple stakeholders. Preparing for these challenges involves staying updated with the latest design tools, understanding manufacturing capabilities and standards, and developing strong troubleshooting abilities. Proactively communicating with electrical engineers, mechanical designers, and manufacturing teams can help address issues early in the design process. Being detail-oriented and adaptable will also enable you to handle evolving project requirements successfully.

Job description

Tenstorrent is seeking a Layout Engineer with expertise in board layout for high-performance computing and  AI hardware. This role requires direct experience with multi-layer boards, HDI vias, blind vias, back drilling, DFM, DFA and routing / layout of interfaces like GDDR, LPDDR, DDR, PCIe Gen 5 & 6, Ethernet IEEE 802.3bj, cd, cf, USB, etc. The ideal candidate will work closely with cross-functional teams consisting of engineers from systems, power, signal integrity and mechanical to ensure that our products meet the layout margins and cutting-edge specifications for mass production boards for data centers, workstations, and consumer computing applications.

This role is hybrid, based out of Toronto, ON or Santa Clara, CA.

We welcome candidates at various experience levels for this role. During the interview process, candidates will be assessed for the appropriate level, and offers will align with that level, which may differ from the one in this posting.

 

Who you are

  • Experienced board layout engineer with ~8+ years in PCB design (Cadence Allegro; Altium a plus).
  • Hold a B.S. in EE, CS, or equivalent experience.
  • Strong background in high-speed, complex PCBs (high layer count, HDI, multi-lamination, VIPPO, back drilling).
  • Comfortable defining and applying layout rules (physical, spacing, length-matching) for high-speed designs.
  • Confident working with fabricators on stackups, capabilities, and resolving DFM/DFA/DFT feedback.
  • Detail-oriented owner of designs with strong communication skills and the ability to work with an international, cross-functional team.
 

What we need

  • A Layout Engineer to own multi-layer PCB layouts for high-performance computing and AI hardware.
  • Expertise routing GDDR, LPDDR, DDR, PCIe Gen 5/6, Ethernet (IEEE 802.3bj/cd/cf), USB and other high-speed interfaces.
  • Proficiency with Cadence schematic/layout tools (v25.1) in the Cadence Pulse environment.
  • Ability to choose appropriate advanced fabrication technologies (HDI, blind/buried vias, VIPPO, back drilling) balancing performance and cost.
  • Skill in floorplanning, component placement, board connectivity, and creation of power/ground planes.
  • Collaboration with power, signal integrity, and mechanical engineers to meet PDN, SI, mechanical, thermal, and regulatory (IPC, UL, CE, RoHS, FCC) requirements.
 

What you will learn

  • How to design boards for cutting-edge AI and high-performance computing systems in data center, workstation, and consumer products.
  • Techniques to optimize signal integrity, power delivery, and manufacturability for mass-production hardware.
  • Best practices for working in a deeply cross-functional environment across systems, power, SI, and mechanical teams.
  • Practical experience building around a from-scratch, high-performance RISC-V CPU and AI-first compute platform.
  • How to navigate and integrate global industry and regulatory standards while pushing performance limits.
  • The direct impact of your layout work on the roadmap and success of a fast-growing AI silicon and systems company.

Compensation for all engineers at Tenstorrent ranges from $100k - $500k including base and variable compensation targets. Experience, skills, education, background and location all impact the actual offer made.

Tenstorrent offers a highly competitive compensation package and benefits, and we are an equal opportunity employer.
