PCB Layout Engineer

Job Description

We are seeking a dynamic individual to join the DCAIs Custom Design Engineering (CDE) team as a PCB Layout Engineer.

This position will be part of a larger a cross functional Architecture/Engineering team (i.e., Board/ System, Thermal/Mechanical, SI/PI/PD, etc.) responsible for Co-Engineering Reference Design Systems with strategic customers.

Additionally, this person will be part of CDE's Electrical and System Center of Excellence (CoE) - defining/driving/bringing to market new platform level innovations and solutions that:

• Drives and delivers PCB Layouts for all types of electrical boards, including flexible circuit boards and rigid boards.
• Prepares layout, detailed drawings, and schematics by using computer assisted engineering design software and ECAD tools.
• Defines efficient design guidelines, specifications, and best-known design methods and proposes and ideates design asks and solves design complexities.
• Applies knowledge of high-density high speed, mixed, analog, digital, RF designs, rigid, and flex designs to deliver end to end PCB design flow, final design packages for PCB fabrication, including fabrication assembly drawings, and manages PCB documentation.
• Defines component placement and trace routing rules for components and circuits on a board.
• Conducts the board layout from feasibility studies to board tape out, meeting multidisciplinary platform level requirements.
• Collaborates with electrical design, packaging, manufacturing, thermal, and mechanical teams for continuous improvements in PCB design process and interfaces with signal and power integrity teams to achieve high quality PCB designs.
• Provides guidance on vendors fabrication and fine tunes design for low cost and high reliability.

Qualifications

Minimum Qualifications, you must possess the below minimum qualifications to be initially considered for this position:

Preferred qualifications, are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates:

• Knowledge of each stage of the typical PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly) manufacturing flow from incoming materials, screen print, component placement, reflow, automated inspection, depanel, Xray inspection, to pack-out and shipping.
• Knowledge of the engineering, processes and thinking to develop products in a way that is feasible, scalable and cost-effective to produce and manufacture
• Knowledge of collection of components that are assembled to deliver hardware product. Understanding of processes, flows and requirements of platform design, planning and validation activities.
• Willing to provide solutions to handle very fast edges, low noise margins, and other non-ideal characteristics of digital devices including signal and power integrity-related system faults using deep understanding of electrical design principles associated with high speed digital PCB design and layout.
