The Senior Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Designer joins the Microsoft Quantum hardware development team to create sophisticated electronics for demanding quantum-hardware environments. This role involves owning complex PCB layouts from initial engineering requirements through design release, including component placement, signal routing, power distribution, and high-density interconnect design. You will collaborate with electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing engineering disciplines to translate schematics into manufacturable designs while improving design methodologies, libraries, and automation. Key technical requirements include proficiency with Cadence Allegro ECAD tools, controlled-impedance, differential-pair, and mixed-signal constraints. The work focuses on solving hardware challenges for quantum computing, specifically designing electronics for cryogenic, low-noise, radio-frequency, and precision-measurement systems. You will also manage Design for Manufacturability (DFM) requirements and produce complete manufacturing release packages for fabrication and assembly.
