About EMTensor

EMTensor develops electromagnetic (microwave) tomography systems for brain imaging — scanners that detect and monitor stroke at the bedside and in the ambulance. We are headquartered in Vienna, Austria, with an engineering office in Bengaluru, India. The team is small, so the engineer who designs something owns it end to end.

The Role

You own PCB layout for our instrument hardware: an eight-layer mixed-signal board carrying an analogue front end, an RF chain around 1 GHz and a data-conversion stage. You take the board from placement to a released fabrication package, and you stay with it through the first build.

You work directly with the schematic engineer, the FPGA engineer and the system architect. There is no layer of project management between you and the design decisions.

What You Will Work On

Placement, stack-up and material selection to meet impedance targets on an eight-layer board.
RF routing: impedance-controlled traces, matching networks, ground pours and return paths, shielding, connector transitions.
High-speed routing: differential pairs,



length and topology matching, reference continuity, EMC.
A demanding drill specification — 1,060 holes of Ø0.15 mm through 1.61 mm, an aspect ratio of 10.7:1. You will discuss this with the fabricator and decide what is buildable.
Gerbers, drill data, DFM and DFA checks, answering fabricator queries, first-article acceptance.
Feeding layout constraints back into the schematic — telling us early when a part choice will not route.

What We Are Looking For

Eight or more years of board-level PCB layout.
Real RF layout experience — boards where the RF section was yours. This is the requirement we will not compromise on. Antenna ports, RF traces, matching, shielding: we will ask you what you routed and how you verified it.
Altium Designer. If your main tool has been Allegro, Xpedition, PADS or OrCAD, tell us — we will ask how quickly you can switch, and a positive answer is enough.
