PCB Layout Engineer

Responsibilities

• Independently complete the layout and routing of multi-layer boards, including control boards (high-speed digital/analog), power supply boards, and high-power boards (high voltage/high current).
• Collaborate with hardware engineers to define detailed PCB layout and routing constraint rules.
• Optimize power loop design to minimize parasitic inductance and loop area in high-voltage and high-current paths.
• Implement EMC and safety designs by ensuring proper creepage and clearance distances and optimizing ground planes and shielding.
• Design effective thermal dissipation paths for power devices using thermal pads, via arrays, and heat sink interfaces.
• Generate all necessary production files, including Gerber, drill files, assembly drawings, and solder paste stencil files.
• Maintain and create accurate component footprint libraries.
• Support SI/PI and thermal simulation engineers during design verification and assist in resolving technical issues during prototyping and mass production.

Requirements

• Associate degree or higher in Electronic Engineering, Communication Engineering, Automation, or a related field.
• 3+ years of experience in high-speed, high-density, or high-power PCB layout design.
• Proficiency in Cadence Allegro or other mainstream EDA design tools.
• Deep understanding of PCB manufacturing processes (lamination, hole plating, surface finishes) and SMT assembly processes.
• Familiarity with IPC standards and solid fundamental circuit knowledge.
• Ability to independently solve SI, PI, EMC, and thermal design issues.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with power electronics products such as PV inverters, energy storage converters, UPS, servo drives, or high-power supplies.
• Familiarity with common safety standards for power electronics (e.g., UL 60950-1, UL 1741).
• Proven experience managing the complete lifecycle of PCB design projects.
