We are looking for a PCB Engineer to join a world leading semiconductor company at their site in Cambridge.
If your skills, experience, and qualifications match those in this job overview, do not delay your application.
You will contribute to the design of cutting-edge compute platforms, working at the forefront of embedded hardware development.
This role focuses on co-designing PCBs & chip packaging for prototyping state-of-the-art SoC & FPGA-based platforms. These platforms support software development & validation for internal teams & external customers.
As a PCB Engineer your responsibilities will include:
* Define, develop, & commission new hardware platforms, focusing on PCB design & integration with chip packaging.
* Develop PCB breakout strategies & conduct Signal Integrity (SI) & Power Integrity (PI) analysis.
* Collaborate with chip packaging teams to influence SoC pinout design based on PCB constraints, feasibility, & cost analysis.
* Perform escape routing analysis for high-density SoCs & estimate IO routing capacity under specific design rules.
* Plan & schedule tasks to meet project deadlines, ensuring close coordination with the program team.
As a PCB Engineer your skills will include:
* Expertise in high-speed PCB design, including stack-ups & topology optimization.
* Proven experience working with chip packaging teams to align SoC design with PCB requirements.
* Strong understanding of SI & PI analysis from both board design & chip packaging perspectives.
* Extensive experience in embedded system board design, particularly with complex LSIs like FPGAs, & familiarity with high-speed IO standards such as PCIe & DDR.
* Proficiency in tools like Allegro PCB, Cadence CIS, HyperLynx, & Mentor PADS Layout
* Experience automating tasks such as decoupling capacitor optimization, DRC, SI, & IC placement.
* Strong team collaboration & communication skills.
