PCB Layout Engineer

Meta Reality Labs is seeking a PCB Layout Engineer. In this role you will be working with hardware engineers, Contract Manufacturers, and PCB/Assembly vendors to determine PCB stack-up, apply design constraints, perform component placement and signal routing and (Design For Manufacturability) DFM. You will assist hardware engineers to perform signal integrity and power integrity analysis, and release fab and assembly packages. PCB Layout Engineer Responsibilities

Own and improve Meta PCB/FPC design processes, work with hardware team, contractors, and CM PCB teams to deliver fab releases Own complex PCB/FPC/RFPC designs, containing analog, digital, RF, Camera, Display, Audio, Sensors and power charging components Manage and coach CM and PCB vendors on placement/routing/DFM/Working Gerber review to meet Meta design quality Create and manage PCB documentation including fabrication and assembly packages, such as Gerber, ODB, BoM, fab and assembly drawings Interface with board fabrication vendor to select proper materials and stack-up, use correct impedance and DFX rulesets Work with assembly vendors to supply data and seek assembly design requirements. Resolve DFM and manufacturing related issues Work with hardware engineers and document control departments to release fab and assembly packages into a company-wide PLM system. Author ECO's if necessary Work closely with ECAD librarians on maintaining and expanding the company-wide library Minimum Qualifications

BS in EE or equivalent practical experience 6+ years of experience with PCB design Experience with Cadence tool sets or similar technologies Experience in managing and coaching Contract Manufacturers and PCB vendors Experience in preparing fabrication notes, assembly notes, and deliverables, such as Gerber files, drill charts, PCB assembly BOMs, and/or other PCB and assembly related documents required by PCB fabrication vendors to build circuit boards for prototypes and products Experience interpreting datasheets and schematics, generating netlists and constraints, and using schematic for layout and routing reference Experience with Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems such as Agile Knowledge of IPC, JEDEC, IEEE, and/or other electronic standards Experience with High Density Interconnect (HDI) design. Knowledge of multilayer PCB layout, fabrication and assembly techniques including blind/buried vias, and microvias Experience with Rigid, Flex, and/or Rigid-Flex boards design and manufacturing Experience in PCB layout design constraints for mixed/RF signal, high speed signal impedance control, memory interfaces, power distribution, heat dissipation, and/or optimization for EMI performance Preferred Qualifications

10+ years of experience of PCB layout design using Cadence Allegro Experience with System in Package (SiP) technologies Proven track record of designing and managing all aspects of printed board design used in high-volume consumer products Experience in cost effective consumer electronics design Knowledge of EMC compliance and environmental safety compliance Experience with Microsoft SAP technologies
