TL;DR · PCB Layout Engineer

As a PCB Layout Engineer on the Hardware team within DoorDash Labs, you will join the autonomous delivery group to develop electronics for robots and hardware that move goods without a driver. You will be responsible for bringing PCB layout in-house by owning floorplanning, stackups, and layouts while collaborating with mechanical, thermal, and SI/PI engineering teams to deliver manufacturable boards. Your daily work involves creating footprints, ensuring fit and form compatibility, and managing high-speed routing and power distribution network fundamentals. The role requires proficiency in professional tools like Altium or Cadence, along with expertise in digital and mixed-signal boards and stackup technologies. You will solve complex hardware challenges by ensuring designs are robust and thermally sound to support the core electronics of autonomous delivery systems.

What you'll do

  • Perform floorplan analysis and create stackups, layouts, and footprints for PCB designs.
  • Ensure board designs are manufacturable by coordinating with mechanical, thermal, and SI/PI engineering teams.
  • Design high-quality layout for digital and mixed-signal control boards.
  • Manage controlled-impedance and high-speed routing for robust board designs.
  • Implement power distribution network (PDN) fundamentals into the hardware design.
  • Execute PCB layouts using professional tools such as Altium or Cadence.
  • Ensure all board designs meet thermal requirements and fit within mechanical constraints.

What we're looking for

  • Experience in PCB layout for digital and mixed-signal boards.
  • Knowledge of stackup technologies, including limitations, considerations, and cost/lead-time impacts.
  • Expertise in controlled-impedance, high-speed routing, and PI/PDN fundamentals.
  • Proficiency in professional layout tools such as Altium or Cadence.
  • Ability to coordinate with mechanical, thermal, and SI/PI engineering teams.
  • Ability to perform floorplan analysis and create stackups, layouts, and footprints.
