Job Requirements PCB Design Engineer / Senior PCB Design Engineer Technical Skills Ø Proficiency with Cadence Allegro PCB Editor 17.2 or above is mandatory. Ø Strong understanding of translating schematic requirements into PCB layout requirements. Ø Experience in component footprint and library creation (IPC‑compliant). Ø Hands‑on expertise in PCB placement, stack‑up definition PCB routing for rigid and flex boards. Ø Strong experience with HDI PCB designs, including blind, buried, and microvias, and via‑in‑pad technology. Ø Good understanding of high‑speed digital design concepts, including impedance control, length matching, and differential pair routing. Ø Experience in routing DDR2 / DDR3 memory interfaces. Ø Strong knowledge of power supply layout, analog‑digital mixed‑signal PCBs, and ground and power plane partitioning. Ø Experience designing rigid and flex PCB designs. Ø Positive understanding of EMI/EMC layout concepts and basic signal integrity and power integrity practices. Ø Proficient in PCB layout design from concept through manufacturing release. Ø Familiarity with PCB manufacturing processes, materials, and DFM/DFA guidelines. Ø Proficiency with PCB CAD tools such as Altium Designer or Mentor Xpedition will be an added advantage. Ø Experience generating complete fabrication and assembly documentation, including Gerbers/ODB++, drill files, stack‑up drawings, and impedance tables. Ø Must have experience handling 20+ PCB designs, covering the complete flow from netlist import to Gerber creation using Cadence Allegro PCB Editor. Job Responsibilities Ø Own end‑to‑end PCB layout activities using Cadence Allegro PCB Editor (v17.2 or above) from placement to fabrication release. Ø Define and implement PCB stack‑ups for rigid and flex PCBs, considering signal integrity, power integrity,



and manufacturing constraints. Ø Design and execute HDI PCB layouts using blind, buried, and microvias, including via‑in‑pad techniques. Ø Create, validate, and maintain IPC‑compliant component footprints and PCB libraries. Ø Perform high‑speed routing including DDR2 / DDR3 memory interfaces, controlled impedance traces, differential pairs, and length matching. Ø Design and optimize power supply layouts, including ground and power plane partitioning and decoupling strategies for mixed‑signal boards. Ø Apply EMI/EMC best practices and basic SI/PI guidelines during placement and routing to ensure reliable performance. Ø Design analog‑digital mixed‑signal PCBs with proper isolation, return path control, and noise mitigation techniques. Ø Generate and review complete fabrication and assembly documentation, including Gerbers/ODB++, drill files, stack‑up drawings, and impedance reports. Ø Work closely with fabrication and assembly vendors to resolve DFM/DFA issues and support board manufacturability. Ø Collaborate effectively with hardware designers, SI/PI/EMI/EMC engineers, mechanical teams, and manufacturing partners throughout the design cycle. Ø Ensure adherence to PCB design standards, processes, and quality guidelines while meeting schedule and project deliverables. Would be a Plus: Ø Experience with 14+ layer medium complex PCBs Ø Knowledge of EMC testing and compliance support Ø Experience collaborating with global or cross‑site engineering teams Communication Ø Strong verbal and written communication skills Ø Ability to conduct effective technical discussions with hardware, SI/PI/EMI/EMC, and manufacturing teams Ø Clearly document and communicate PCB design decisions and trade-offs. Preferred Qualification Ø Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering – or Equivalent Ø Years of
