About the role

PCB Layout Engineer to design and optimize high-speed PCBs for data center products using Cadence Allegro, focusing on 100G signaling, power distribution, HDI stack-ups, and tight impedance control.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the design and optimization of high-speed PCB layouts using Cadence Allegro, tailored for 100G signaling. Implement strategies for impedance matching, trace routing, and crosstalk mitigation, resulting in robust designs that meet the stringent performance demands of modern data centers.
  • Develop and implement power distribution networks for cutting-edge data center hardware. Design power planes, decoupling strategies, and thermal management solutions to support high-performance systems, ensuring reliability and efficiency under heavy operational loads.
  • Manage the design of complex High-Density Interconnect (HDI) PCB stack-ups for multi-layer boards. Integrate blind/buried vias and microvias to meet the advanced technological requirements of data center systems, enhancing signal integrity and achieving compact form factors.
  • Collaborate with electrical and mechanical engineering teams to integrate PCB designs within the overall system architecture. Provide key input during design reviews to optimize performance, ensure manufacturability, and align with system-level objectives in a data center environment.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field. Advanced degrees or certifications are a plus.
  • 10 years of experience in PCB layout design with a focus on high-speed signaling, power distribution, and HDI stack-ups, ideally for high-performance data center products.
  • Proficiency in Cadence Allegro PCB design tools
  • In-depth knowledge of high-speed digital design principles, including signal integrity and impedance control.
  • Experience with complex HDI PCB design and manufacturing processes.
  • Understanding of power distribution network design and thermal management techniques, particularly for data center applications.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
