PCB Layout Engineer

We are seeking a skilled **PCB Layout Engineer** with hands\-on experience in **Cadence Allegro PCB Designer** to join our Hardware Engineering team. The ideal candidate will be responsible for designing high\-quality multilayer PCB layouts for complex electronic products while ensuring compliance with signal integrity, manufacturability, and industry standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop multilayer PCB layouts (4 to 20\+ layers) using **Cadence Allegro PCB Designer**.
• Perform optimized component placement and routing for analog, digital, mixed\-signal, RF, and power circuits.
• Work closely with Hardware Design Engineers to convert schematics into manufacturable PCB layouts.
• Implement high\-speed design practices including impedance\-controlled routing, differential pair routing, and length matching.
• Design PCB stack\-ups in coordination with fabrication vendors.
• Create and maintain PCB libraries, symbols, footprints, and pad stacks.
• Generate manufacturing deliverables including Gerber files, ODB\+\+, IPC\-2581, drill files, fabrication drawings, assembly drawings, pick\-and\-place files, and BOMs.
• Perform Design Rule Check (DRC), Electrical Rule Check (ERC), and layout verification.
• Apply DFM (Design for Manufacturability), DFA (Design for Assembly), and DFT (Design for Testability) principles.
• Support prototype builds, engineering change orders (ECOs), and production releases.
• Coordinate with Mechanical, Firmware, Manufacturing, and Procurement teams throughout the product development lifecycle.
• Resolve PCB fabrication and assembly issues with vendors.
• Ensure compliance with IPC standards and internal PCB design guidelines.

Required Skills

• Strong expertise in **Cadence Allegro PCB Designer**.
• Experience in multilayer PCB layout design.
• Knowledge of high\-speed PCB design techniques.
• Understanding of signal integrity (SI), power integrity (PI), EMI/EMC, and controlled impedance routing.
• Experience with PCB stack\-up planning and HDI design.
• Knowledge of PCB fabrication and assembly processes.
• Familiarity with Gerber, ODB\+\+, IPC\-2581, and manufacturing documentation.
• Strong understanding of DRC, DFM, DFA, and DFT.
• Experience with component library and footprint creation.
• Ability to read and interpret electronic schematics.

Preferred Knowledge

• High\-speed interfaces: DDR, USB, PCIe, Ethernet, HDMI, MIPI, LVDS, CAN, SPI, UART, and I²C.
• Rigid\-Flex PCB design.
• RF PCB layout techniques.
• Thermal management considerations.
• IPC\-2221, IPC\-7351, IPC\-A\-600, and IPC\-6012 standards.

Educational Qualification

• Bachelor's Degree or Diploma in Electronics \& Communication Engineering (ECE), Electrical Engineering (EEE), Instrumentation, or a related discipline.

Preferred Experience

• 3–6 years of PCB Layout Design experience.
• Experience in Electronics Product Development or Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS).
• Hands\-on experience in board bring\-up support and production release activities.
