Job Description

Overview

PCB layout engineer will design multi layer PCBA's and implement best-in-class systems for medical devices (such as patient monitoring, telemetry or anesthesia) and be part of a world class, highly energized engineering team. Works on projects involving micro-controller, embedded platform and digital circuit design in the development of products - including system and component level design, proto-typing, simulation and component selection.

Responsibilities

  • Lead advanced PCB design projects using Cadence Allegro and Altium Designer, from schematic capture to layout and release
  • Architect and implement high-speed digital interfaces, including PCIe Gen2/Gen3, DDR4/DDR5, USB 3.x, and Gigabit Ethernet
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop medical-grade electronics, ensuring compliance with IEC 60601, ISO 13485, and FDA Class II/III standards
  • Perform signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) simulations to validate high-speed performance and reliability
  • Drive DFM/DFT/DFX reviews and ensure EMI/EMC compliance for regulated environments
  • Generate complete fabrication and assembly documentation (Gerber, ODB++, BOM, pick-and-place)
  • Support board bring-up, validation, and design verification testing (DVT) for medical prototypes
  • Maintain IPC- compliant libraries and contribute to continuous improvement of design processes
  • Required Skills- Expert-level proficiency in Cadence Allegro (17.x+) and Altium Designer (24.x+)
  • Proven experience with PCIe layout, differential pair tuning, and impedance-controlled routing
  • Strong grasp of SI/PI principles, including eye diagram analysis and return path optimization
  • Familiarity with medical electronics design constraints, including isolation, leakage, and patient safety
