About the Role
We are seeking a senior PCB Layout Engineer to join a cutting-edge AR hardware team focused on next-generation wearable products, including smart glasses. You will own complex PCB layouts end-to-end from kick-off through tape-out working alongside electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, DFM, and SiPi teams, as well as external suppliers.
This is a high-impact role with direct ownership over hardware that is visible, shipping, and pushing the boundaries of miniaturization and advanced PCB technology.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead and manage multiple complex PCB layout projects (rigid, rigid-flex, and flex) for both product and prototype/test applications
- Drive project meetings including kick-off, placement, constraint, and design reviews
- Apply deep knowledge of power distribution, high-speed circuits, and RF signal design
- Collaborate cross-functionally with EE, ME, TPM, DFM, and SiPi teams to resolve design challenges
- Engage with external suppliers and SQE/PE to address DFM issues and ensure high-yield builds
- Identify and propose solutions to improve production efficiency and resolve execution risks
- Develop and test prototypes; assess for issues, risks, and failure points
Must-Have Skills
- 8 10+ years of complex PCB design experience
- 5+ years with Cadence Allegro (v21 or newer)
- Rigid-flex and flexible circuit design experience
- HDI (high-density interconnect) PCB design experience
- Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills
Nice-to-Have Skills
- Experience with miniaturization in dense form-factor designs (wearables, mobile)
- Manufacturing/DFM process exposure
- Continuous improvement or production efficiency mindset
- BS in Electrical Engineering
