-
Perform hands-on physical PCB design and layout using computer-based PCB/EDA design tools.
-
Review PCB layouts, architecture, layer stack-ups, component placement, routing, and design constraints.
-
Assess PCB architectures and determine whether proposed designs will meet technical and electrical requirements.
-
Provide recommendations and alternative solutions when architectural or design changes are required.
-
Perform component placement and routing for complex PCB designs.
-
Work with PCB layer stack-ups and tool-specific design constraints.
-
Perform electrical model extraction from PCB designs.

Analyze the Power Delivery Network (PDN) to determine whether the design meets power-integrity requirements.
-
Perform or support Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI) analysis.
-
Use tools such as Ansys HFSS, SIwave, or comparable industry-standard electromagnetic/modeling tools.
-
Import and integrate 3D models supplied by vendors or other engineering teams into larger system models.
-
Validate extracted models and use modeling results to guide physical PCB design decisions.
-
Support early-stage architecture decisions, including routing channels, stack-up decisions, and implementation trade-offs.
-
Work directly with customers to understand what they are trying to accomplish and recommend appropriate technical solutions.
-
Coordinate with internal engineering teams, customers, and external partners throughout the PCB design workflow.
-
Troubleshoot complex PCB design and integration issues and develop practical engineering solutions.
-
Provide regular updates regarding design progress, technical risks, dependencies, and recommended actions.
-
8+ years of professional relevant engineering experience.

-
PCB architecture
-
Layer stack-ups
-
Component placement
-
Routing
-
Design constraints
-
Ability to independently open PCB design tools, evaluate layouts, identify problems, and make design recommendations.
-
Strong understanding of circuit and transmission-line theory and the ability to apply theory to real-world PCB design decisions.
-
Experience with electrical modeling and/or model extraction from PCB designs.
-
Understanding of Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI) concepts.
-
Experience with industry-standard PCB design and/or electrical modeling tools. Equivalent tools are acceptable.
-
Ability to assess architecture, challenge design decisions when necessary, and provide technically sound alternatives and recommendations.
-
Strong communication skills with the ability to explain complex engineering concepts and recommendations to customers and cross-functional teams.
-
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or a related technical discipline. Equivalent technical experience may also be considered where the candidate demonstrates a strong understanding of both engineering theory and practical application.
-
Experience/knowledge of Ansys HFSS or comparable 3D electromagnetic modeling tools.
-
Experience/knowledge of Ansys SIwave for power-delivery-network and power-integrity analysis.
-
Approximately 5 years of experience working with relevant PCB design or modeling tools.
-
Strong Power Integrity (PI) experience.
-
Strong Signal Integrity (SI) experience.
-
3D electromagnetic modeling experience.
-
Experience importing third-party/vendor 3D models and integrating them into larger electrical models.
-
Experience supporting high-performance semiconductor or test-chip PCB designs.
-
Previous semiconductor or closely related industry experience.
-
Experience evaluating architecture and providing customers with design trade-offs and recommendations.
-
Experience working across both Windows and Linux engineering environments.
