Senior PCB Layout Design Engineer

Job Requirements

Job Summary:

We are looking for a highly skilled Sr. PCB Layout Design Engineer with 6–9 years of experience in multi-layer, high-speed PCB design using tools such as Cadence Allegro, Altium, and Expedition. The role involves complete ownership of PCB layout activities including schematic entry, footprint creation, stack-up definition, impedance-controlled routing, and Gerber generation while ensuring DFM/DFA compliance. The engineer will work closely with cross-functional teams to meet mechanical, electrical, and manufacturing requirements, apply SI/PI and EMI/EMC best practices, support fabrication and assembly queries, and drive design improvements in performance, size, and thermal efficiency.

Key Responsibilities

• PCB Layout Designing in Cadence Allegro
• Working knowledge of schematic drawing tools and principles.
• Symbol creation, Footprint Creation & Gerber generation and Verification.
• Collaborate with the mechanical team for PCB sizing, mounting arrangements, and mechanical constraints.
• High Speed Digital design layout. Exposure to High-speed interfaces such as PCIe, USB, DDR etc.
• Define PCB stack-up requirements and ensure impedance-controlled routing as per design needs.
• Understand the reference/recommended layout design from component datasheets and implement in the design.
• Understand signal integrity and power integrity principles and apply best practices during routing.
• Ensure Assembly/Fab drawings are as per the industry standards & guidelines
• Version control of designs and proper documentations for the changes
• Ensure PCB specifications in the entire cycle
• Ensure PCBs are Designed for Manufacturability and Testing
• Solve Engineering Queries from PCB Fabricator and Assembly house
• Propose alternative layout concepts/Ideas to reduce PCB size, enhance thermal management, and improve performance.
  
  

Must-Have Skills

• Strong proficiency in designing rigid and flexible printed circuit boards.
• Strong experience with Cadence Allegro Cad tool.
• Solid understanding of PCB layout design fundamentals and manufacturing feasibility.
• Teamwork and Co-ordination
• Hands-on experience in high-speed multi-layer PCB layout, including component placement, constraint setup, routing, DFM checks, and final Gerber release.
• Strong knowledge of HDI PCB layouts, including blind, buried, and micro via technologies.
• Good knowledge of signal integrity, thermal management, and EMI/EMC concepts for PCB design.
• PCB Footprint creation and validation as per IPC Standards
• Good understanding of PCB Manufacturing processes, technology and Surface Mount assembly process.
• Highly self-motivated, with the ability to work independently and with minimal supervision
• Strong time-management skills, ensuring tasks are completed on schedule.
  
  

Nice-to-Have Skills

• Familiarity with PCB CAD tools such as Altium Designer and Mentor Graphics is preferred.
• Awareness of design for manufacturability (DFM) and design for assembly (DFA).
  
  

Qualifications

• Diploma or bachelor's degree in electrical and Electronics Engineering, Electronics and communication Engineering or a related field.
