PCB Layout Engineering Lead

Responsibilities

• Own multilayer PCB layout from initial component placement through fabrication and assembly release.
• Translate schematics, mechanical constraints, and electrical requirements into constraint-driven board designs using industry-standard PCB layout tools.
• Define and implement board stackups, controlled-impedance structures, routing rules, reference planes, return paths, and length- and phase-matching constraints.
• Place and route high-speed digital, high-current power, and sensitive analog circuits, including dense BGA fanout and differential interfaces.
• Apply signal-integrity and power-integrity best practices to minimize crosstalk, discontinuities, noise, voltage drop, and electromagnetic interference.
• Collaborate with electrical, SI/PI, mechanical, thermal, compliance, manufacturing, and test engineers to establish constraints and resolve layout issues.
• Work with fabrication and assembly partners to select materials, validate stackups and via structures, and improve yield, cost, and schedule.
• Perform design reviews and DFM, DFA, and DFT checks; generate and verify fabrication drawings, assembly drawings, drill data, Gerbers, ODB++, IPC-2581, and related release packages.
• Maintain component footprints, padstacks, design libraries, layout standards, and release documentation.
• Support prototype builds, board bring-up, failure analysis, and layout revisions through production.
