- Ø Experience in component footprint and library creation (IPC‑compliant).
- Ø Hands‑on expertise in PCB placement, stack‑up definition PCB routing for rigid and flex boards.
- Ø Strong experience with HDI PCB designs, including blind, buried, and microvias, and via‑in‑pad technology.
- Ø Good understanding of high‑speed digital design concepts, including impedance control, length matching, and differential pair routing.
- Ø Experience in routing DDR2 / DDR3 memory interfaces.
- Ø Strong knowledge of power supply layout, analog‑digital mixed‑signal PCBs, and ground and power plane partitioning.
- Ø Experience designing rigid and flex PCB designs.
- Ø Good understanding of EMI/EMC layout concepts and basic signal integrity and power integrity practices.
- Ø Proficient in PCB layout design from concept through manufacturing release.
- Ø Familiarity with PCB manufacturing processes, materials, and DFM/DFA guidelines.
- Ø Proficiency with PCB CAD tools such as Altium Designer or Mentor Xpedition will be an added advantage.
- Ø Experience generating complete fabrication and assembly documentation, including Gerbers/ODB++, drill files, stack‑up drawings, and impedance tables.
- Ø Must have experience handling 20+ PCB designs, covering the complete flow from netlist import to Gerber creation using Cadence Allegro PCB Editor.
- Job Responsibilities
- Ø Own end‑to‑end PCB layout activities using Cadence Allegro PCB Editor (v17.2 or above) from placement to fabrication release.
- Ø Define and implement PCB stack‑ups for rigid and flex PCBs, considering signal integrity, power integrity, and manufacturing constraints.
- Ø Design and execute HDI PCB layouts using blind, buried, and microvias, including via‑in‑pad techniques.
- Ø Create, validate, and maintain IPC‑compliant component footprints and PCB libraries.
- Ø Perform high‑speed routing including DDR2 / DDR3 memory interfaces, controlled impedance traces, differential pairs, and length matching.
- Ø Design and optimize power supply layouts, including ground and power plane partitioning and decoupling strategies for mixed‑signal boards.
- Ø Apply EMI/EMC best practices and basic SI/PI guidelines during placement and routing to ensure reliable performance.
- Ø Design analog‑digital mixed‑signal PCBs with proper isolation, return path control, and noise mitigation techniques.
- Ø Generate and review complete fabrication and assembly documentation, including Gerbers/ODB++, drill files, stack‑up drawings, and impedance reports.
- Ø Work closely with fabrication and assembly vendors to resolve DFM/DFA issues and support board manufacturability.
- Ø Collaborate effectively with hardware designers, SI/PI/EMI/EMC engineers, mechanical teams, and manufacturing partners throughout the design cycle.
- Ø Ensure adherence to PCB design standards, processes, and quality guidelines while meeting schedule and project deliverables.
