PCB Design Senior Engineer

The Role:

We are looking for a Senior PCB Design Engineer with strong EDA library ownership and advanced high‑speed board design experience to drive the implementation of our next‑generation data center accelerator platforms .

In this role, you will be responsible for the complete PCB design process , from library definition and design rules , through floorplanning, routing, and tape‑out , while collaborating closely with Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI) experts to define layer stacks, PDN strategies, and constraints .

This is a hands‑on, technically demanding role focused on very high‑density, high‑layer‑count boards , pushing the limits of power delivery, memory integration, and high‑speed interfaces , using Siemens Xpedition as the primary design environment.

Key Responsibilities:

· Design and layout complex, high‑layer‑count PCBs for accelerator and data center platforms

· Own and maintain EDA libraries (symbols, footprints, padstacks, constraints)

· Define routing constraints and complex design rules for high‑speed and high‑power designs

· Collaborate with SI/PI teams on layer stack‑ups, impedance control, and PDN design

· Collaborate with mechanical and thermal experts to ensure design integration

· Drive designs from concept through tape‑out, including manufacturing deliverables

· Support DFM reviews, board bring‑up, and hardware debug activities

Required Qualifications:

· Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.

· 5+ years of hands‑on PCB layout experience in complex hardware programs.

· Strong experience with Siemens Xpedition (layout and library tools strongly preferred).

· Proven background designing high‑speed, high‑layer‑count boards.

· Solid understanding of:

-Signal Integrity and Power Integrity fundamentals

-Controlled impedance routing

-High‑density interconnects and advanced packages

· Experience creating and maintaining EDA component libraries.

· Ability to work effectively with cross‑functional teams (SI, PI, schematic, ME, manufacturing).

Preferred Qualifications:

· Experience with data‑center, accelerator, networking, or HPC hardware.

· Direct involvement in memory subsystem integration and high‑speed serial interfaces.

· Familiarity with SI/PI simulation workflows and constraint‑driven design.

· Experience defining layer stacks in collaboration with fabricators and SI/PI teams.

· Knowledge of DFM/DFT/DFX principles for high‑volume and advanced PCB manufacturing.

· Comfortable working in fast‑moving, technically ambitious engineering environments.
