TL;DR · Senior Hardware Design Engineer, PCB Design

The Senior Hardware Design Engineer - PCB Design joins the Compute & Connectivity Hardware team to develop the physical hardware foundation for software-defined vehicles. This role involves leading the electrical design, development, and review of Electrical Controllers for next-generation architectures. Key responsibilities include creating and verifying PCB layouts, performing design rule checks, and conducting design for manufacturability and assembly. The engineer will collaborate with circuit designers and system engineers to optimize for performance, power, and area while managing supplier execution. Required skills include experience with digital and analog hardware interfaces, schematic creation, and Mentor Graphics tools. The role addresses technical challenges in high-density, high-speed communication and RF layout, specifically involving technologies such as Ethernet, PCIe, SerDes, and multi-view cameras within the automotive electronics domain.

What you'll do

  • Develop various PCB layout designs for existing and new architecture-based ECUs.
  • Place and route components, traces, and other elements to ensure proper functionality and performance.
  • Conduct design rule checks (DRC) and design for manufacturability (DFM) checks to verify layout designs.
  • Optimize layout designs for performance, power, area, and manufacturability with SI/PI/EMC/Thermal/Mechanical experts.
  • Support ECAD librarians by ensuring library parts meet DFM and GM resiliency requirements.
  • Collaborate with component engineers and procurement teams to select appropriate components for PCBA design.
  • Apply Design for Assembly (DFA) principles to optimize PCBA designs for efficient assembly processes.
  • Coach and lead suppliers to ensure the timely execution of program work.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor of Science in Engineering.
  • Professional experience creating digital/analog HW interfaces including schematic creation, PCB layout, and simulation.
  • Minimum 5 years of working experience in PCB layout design.
  • Experience in design and analysis tools like Mentor Graphics (schematic and layout).
  • Previous industry experience with infotainment, telematics, or connectivity (preferred).
  • 10 years or more experience in PCB layout design (preferred).
  • Knowledgeable in High speed Communication Buses such as Ethernet, PCIe, and SerDes (preferred).
