Position Summary


We are seeking an experienced PCB Layout Engineer to support the design and release of complex, high-reliability electronic assemblies. This role is responsible for performing advanced PCB layout for high-speed digital and power electronics designs, including multi-lamination cycle boards up to 32 layers, in accordance with IPC-6012 and related industry standards. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, thrives in technically rigorous environments, and collaborates closely with electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing engineers to deliver first-pass-success designs.


Key Responsibilities


Perform complex PCB layout for advanced electronic systems, including:
  • Up to 24-layer PCBs 
  • Multi-lamination fabrication stackups 
  • High-speed digital interfaces and mixed-signal designs 
  • Power electronics and power distribution networks
  • Translate schematics, stackups, and design constraints into manufacturable PCB layouts
  • Apply IPC-6012, IPC-2221/2222, and internal design rules throughout layout activities, including an understanding of fabricator coupon construction and testing
  • Execute controlled impedance routing, length matching, differential pair routing, and via optimization
  • Collaborate with electrical engineers on:
    • Signal Integrity (SI) 
    • Power Integrity (PI) 
    • EMI/EMC considerations

Work closely with mechanical engineering to ensure proper component placement, keep-outs, and enclosure integration
Support DFM/DFA reviews with fabrication and assembly partners
Generate and release complete PCB manufacturing packages, including:
  • Fabrication notes 
  • Assembly drawings 
  • Stackup documentation 
  • Gerbers / ODB++ / IPC-2581, etc.
Participate in design reviews and provide layout-specific risk assessments
Support board bring-up and debug activities as needed
Required Qualifications


8+ years of professional PCB layout experience on complex designs
Demonstrated experience with:
  • High layer count PCB layouts (e.g. 16 layers and higher) 
  • Multi-lamination cycle designs 
  • High-speed digital interfaces (e.g., DDR, SerDes, high-speed clocks, high-speed buses) 
  • Power electronics and PDN design considerations

Strong working knowledge of IPC-6012 and related IPC standards
Proficiency with one or more industry-standard PCB layout tools (e.g., Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, Mentor Xpedition, or equivalent)
Solid understanding of:
  • Signal integrity and power integrity fundamentals 
  • Controlled impedance routing 
  • EMI/EMC mitigation techniques

Ability to work from detailed schematics and interface effectively with electrical designers
Preferred Qualifications


  • Experience with aerospace, defense, space, or other high-reliability electronics
  • Familiarity with AS9100 or ISO 9001 design environments
  • Experience supporting fabrication and assembly of rigid, rigid-flex, or HDI PCBs
  • Exposure to advanced materials, back-drilling, microvias, and via-in-pad designs
  • PCB materials and construction for high-speed signals
  • Experience working with contract manufacturers and PCB fabricators
Desired Skills & Attributes


  • Highly detail-oriented with strong documentation discipline
  • Comfortable working in fast-paced, technically demanding environments
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills
  • Ability to manage multiple layout tasks and priorities simultaneously
  • Proactive mindset toward design quality and risk reduction
Compensation & Benefits


  • Competitive salary commensurate with experience
  • Equity participation through incentive stock options
  • Health/medical, dental, vision, 401(k), PTO benefits

Flexible work from home options available.
