Responsibilities
As a PCB Layout Engineer within the product development team, you will contribute to the layout, implementation, and validation of high-speed analog and mixed-signal PCBs for Keysight test & measurement instruments. Your role will focus on supporting post-layout simulations such as signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) analysis to ensure robust and high-performance designs. You will also collaborate with analog, digital, and mechanical engineers to optimize PCB designs for manufacturability and performance. Typical activities for this role include:
-
Develop and optimize PCB layouts using Mentor Xpedition.
-
Perform post-layout simulations including SI/PI analysis using HyperLynx/ADS.
-
Support signal routing, stack-up planning, and component placement to meet design requirements.
-
Work closely with analog and digital engineers for cross-functional design reviews.
-
Assist in verifying design performance through simulation and prototype testing.
-
Document layout and simulation work to ensure design consistency and reusability.
-
Contribute to improving layout practices, design guidelines, and simulation methodologies.
Qualifications
-
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical/Electronics/Computer Engineering or equivalent.
-
Proven experience in PCB layout and design, preferably in analog/mixed-signal or high-speed circuits.
-
Strong knowledge of post-layout simulation (SI/PI), with hands-on experience in HyperLynx/ADS.
-
Experience with PCB design tools such as Xpedition;
-
Understanding of high-speed PCB design principles, signal integrity, power integrity, and EMI considerations.
-
Ability to work independently, prioritize tasks, and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
-
Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and proactive communication.
-
Typically 2-5 years of relevant PCB design experience; internship or project experience can be considered.
