Responsibilities:
As a PCB Layout Engineer within the product development team, you will contribute to the layout, implementation, and validation of high-speed analog and mixed-signal PCBs for Keysight test & measurement instruments.
Your role will focus on supporting post-layout simulations such as signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) analysis to ensure robust and high-performance designs.
You will also collaborate with analog, digital, and mechanical engineers to optimize PCB designs for manufacturability and performance. Typical activities for this role include:
- Develop and optimize PCB layouts using Mentor Xpedition.
- Perform post-layout simulations including SI/PI analysis using HyperLynx/ADS.
- Support signal routing, stack-up planning, and component placement to meet design requirements.
- Work closely with analog and digital engineers for cross-functional design reviews.
- Assist in verifying design performance through simulation and prototype testing.
- Document layout and simulation work to ensure design consistency and reusability.
- Contribute to improving layout practices, design guidelines, and simulation methodologies.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Electronics/Computer Engineering or equivalent.
- Proven experience in PCB layout and design, preferably in analog/mixed-signal or high-speed circuits.
- Strong knowledge of post-layout simulation (SI/PI), with hands-on experience in HyperLynx/ADS.
- Experience with PCB design tools such as Xpedition;
- Understanding of high-speed PCB design principles, signal integrity, power integrity, and EMI considerations.
- Ability to work independently, prioritize tasks, and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
- Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and proactive communication.
- Typically 2–5 years of relevant PCB design experience; internship or project experience can be considered.
