PCB Design Engineer - High Speed Multilayer Systems

What You'll Do: As a PCB Design Engineer, you will design complex, high density multilayer PCBs, taking ownership of stack-up construction, via technology (blind, buried, and microvia), routing strategy, and manufacturability across boards typically in the 14 to 24 plus layer range. You will translate electrical schematics into manufacturable layouts for high speed digital interfaces including DDR4/DDR5, GDDR, PCI Express Gen4/Gen5, Gigabit and high speed Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and SerDes, applying controlled impedance and differential pair routing techniques to meet signal integrity and timing requirements. Work spans both manual and auto-assisted routing depending on design complexity, and you will handle high pin count FPGA layouts, fine pitch BGA and QFN packages, and rigid and rigid-flex designs. You will collaborate closely with electrical, FPGA, mechanical, manufacturing, and signal integrity engineers throughout the design process, participating in design reviews and constraint verification, and will support the full product lifecycle from architecture discussions through fabrication documentation, DFM, DFA, and DFT review, and production release.
