ECAD Engineering Position Summary We are seeking a highly skilled Senior ECAD PCB Design Engineer to lead the design and development of complex printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) supporting next-generation server and storage platforms, including high-density systems such as 2U24 Servers and 2U20 JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) architectures. This role requires deep expertise in Mentor Graphics tools, high-speed digital design, PCB architecture, signal integrity, power distribution, and system-level integration. The successful candidate will work closely with electrical, mechanical, thermal, firmware, manufacturing, and validation teams to deliver reliable, high-performance products that meet demanding performance, reliability, and compliance requirements. The engineer will serve as a technical leader throughout the product lifecycle—from concept and architecture through schematic development, PCB implementation, validation, compliance testing, and production release. Key Responsibilities PCB Architecture & Design Seagate General Information • Lead schematic capture, PCB architecture definition, component selection, and board-level design activities for server and storage products. • Design complex multilayer PCBAs supporting high-performance compute, storage, networking, and management functions. • Develop robust power distribution networks (PDN) and power sequencing solutions. • Ensure designs meet electrical, thermal, manufacturability, reliability, and cost objectives. High-Speed Signal Design • Design and validate high-speed interfaces including: o PCI Express (Gen4/Gen5 and beyond) o SAS (12G/24G) o SATA o NVMe over PCIe o Ethernet interfaces (10G/25G/40G/100G/400G) o DDR4 and DDR5 memory interfaces o High-speed backplane and SERDES-based interconnects • Perform design reviews focused on: o Controlled impedance implementation o Differential pair routing o Length matching o Return path continuity o Crosstalk mitigation o Via optimization and stub reduction o Power integrity and noise management Chassis-Level Integration • Collaborate with chassis, mechanical, and thermal teams to ensure successful integration within dense server and storage enclosures. • Evaluate board placement, connector strategies, airflow constraints, serviceability requirements, and manufacturability. • Support architecture decisions that balance performance, reliability, cost, and mechanical constraints. Design Reviews & Technical Leadership • Lead cross-functional engineering reviews. • Develop and maintain PCB design guidelines, best practices, and reusable design methodologies. • Mentor junior engineers and provide technical oversight to outsourced layout resources when applicable. • Review external design deliverables to ensure adherence to product and company standards. Seagate General Information Manufacturing Support • Partner with manufacturing, supplier quality, and NPI teams to support prototype builds and production ramp activities. • Investigate and resolve manufacturing, assembly, and field reliability issues. • Support DFM, DFA, and DFT initiatives. Required Qualifications • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related discipline. • 5–10+ years of experience in complex PCB and PCBA design. • Proven experience designing boards for: o Enterprise servers o Storage systems o Networking equipment o High-performance embedded platforms • Strong expertise in: o High-speed digital design o Signal integrity fundamentals o Power integrity fundamentals o PCB stack-up development o EMI/EMC mitigation • Experience with modern ECAD design platforms such as: o Siemens Xpedition o Cadence Allegro o Altium Designer o Equivalent enterprise-level ECAD tools • Knowledge of DDR4/DDR5, PCIe, SAS, SATA, SERDES, and Ethernet technologies. • Experience interpreting vendor reference designs, compliance requirements, and chipset design guides. • Strong understanding of PCB fabrication and assembly processes. Preferred Qualifications • Experience with 2U server, JBOD, JBOF, or storage enclosure architectures. • Familiarity with BMC, management controllers, and platform management interfaces. • Experience supporting SI/PI simulations using industry-standard tools. • Knowledge of thermal design considerations for high-density systems. Seagate General Information • Experience working with ODMs, EMS providers, and external design partners. • Understanding of firmware-hardware interactions and platform bring-up activities. • Exposure to lifecycle management, sustaining engineering, and field failure analysis. Technical Skills High-Speed Design • PCIe Gen4/Gen5 • SAS 12G/24G • SATA • NVMe • Ethernet 10G–400G • SERDES architectures • DDR4/DDR5 PCB Design • Mentor Graphics proficiency • Multilayer PCB design (up to 24 layers) • Controlled impedance routing • Differential pair design • Power distribution network design • Design for Manufacturability (DFM) • Design for Assembly (DFA) • Design for Test (DFT)
