Your day-to-day responsibilities include creating high-density, high-speed PCB layouts for ECUs, collaborating with PCBA and ECAD engineers, conducting DRC and DFM checks, and optimizing designs for performance and manufacturability. You will work closely with subject matter experts to ensure robust hardware that meets GM’s stringent specifications and testing requirements. The role requires expertise in Mentor Graphics tools, experience with digital/analog interfaces, and knowledge of high-speed communication buses like Ethernet and PCIe. This position demands a minimum of 5 years in PCB layout design, ideally with background in automotive electronics such as infotainment or telematics systems.

What you'll do

  • Develop PCB layout designs for existing and new architecture-based ECUs.
  • Conduct design rule checks (DRC) and design for manufacturability (DFM) checks.
  • Collaborate with circuit designers, system engineers, and packaging engineers to optimize layout design.
  • Select appropriate technology and process based on project requirements.
  • Optimize layout design by working with subject matter experts in SI/PI/EMC/Thermal/Mechanical.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor of Science in Engineering required.
  • Minimum 10 years experience in PCB layout design.
  • Professional experience creating digital/analog HW interfaces and schematic creation.
  • Expertise in high-speed communication buses (Ethernet, PCIe, SerDes).
  • Knowledgeable in design & analysis tools like Mentor Graphics.
  • Experience with infotainment, telematics or connectivity systems.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
