Summary

Overview

PDF Solutions (NASDAQ: PDFS) is seeking a senior PCB Layout Engineer to join the R&D team focusing on developing a cutting-edge electron beam inspection tool (eProbe ). These tools are basically high-speed scanning electron microscopes (SEM) used at 300mm semiconductor wafer fabs to implement PDF's Design-for-Inspection (DFI) methodology used in yield ramp and manufacturing control.

As a Senior PCB Layout Engineer, the candidate will contribute to all phases of PCB design and production for our electron beam inspection tool (eProbe ). The candidate must bring versatile knowledge and experience of PCB design, PCB Fabrication, PCB quality control to a highly collaborative

Responsibilities

  • Work closely with electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing engineers to make industry leading printed circuit board (PCB) designs from prototyping to mass production using Altium Designer.
  • Design and develop layouts of analog/mixed-signal PCBs with consideration of electromagnetic interference (EMI), signal integrity (SI), and power integrity (PI), thermal management, etc.
  • Create PCB fabrication and assembly drawings with, for example, Altium Draftsman.
  • Define PCB design rules, design within manufacturing limits, create Altium outjobs, fabrication and assembly documentation and validate designs with DRC checks prior to release.
  • Collaborate with suppliers on PCB stackups, capabilities, and solving engineering issues.
  • Manage external ECAD resources as needed.
  • Write documents (such as rework instructions, fab/assembly notes, etc.), handle BOM, and perform ECOs.
  • Drive simultaneous development of multiple challenging, complex PCB designs to meet critical program deadlines.

Qualifications

  • BS/BA (or above) degree in Electrical Engineering, or and equivalent engineering field.
  • 5+ full-time years of experience using Altium Designer.
  • Experience in routing impedance-controlled nets, including differential pairs, per engineer's instructions and component specifications.
  • Strong skills in designing quality multi-layer, high density PCBs with careful consideration of analog, digital, high speed, low noise, and/or power circuits.
  • Demonstrated understanding of IPC, Design for Manufacturability (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), and Design for Testability (DFT).
  • Knowledge of PCB design standards for common interfaces, such as I2C, SPI, Ethernet, etc.
  • Experience with best practices for system integration and layout verification including mating of multiple boards (pin 1 verification methods, system level high speed length matching) and mechanical interference checks.
  • Experience with one or more of the following: Altium Designer, Altium 365, Altium Concord Pro or Nexus, PCB ECAD Library creation and management.
  • Skills in using logic and reasoning to identify the strengths and weaknesses of alternative solutions, conclusions or approaches to problems.
  • Skills in completing assignments accurately and with attention to detail.
  • Ability to work under pressure and meet close deadlines.
  • Ability to analyze, organize, and prioritize work while meeting multiple deadlines.

Ability to collaborate and operate in a fast-paced cross-functional environment including engineering teams, vendors, suppliers, and outside resource management.
