PCB Layout Design Engineer

Objective:

Responsible for EMC development activities for Cockpit, ADAS, and Centralized Computing hardware products, supporting EMC design and problem resolution throughout the entire product lifecycle, from architecture definition and hardware development to testing and validation.

Ensure products meet vehicle-level and component-level EMC performance requirements through EMC design reviews, simulation and analysis, test debugging and corrective actions, as well as supplier technical reviews.

Task Description1. PCB Design & Layout Ownership (30%)

• Support PCB stack-up definition and board architecture planning
• Define PCB design constraints and layout requirements
• Review placement, routing and implementation quality
• Ensure compliance with design rules and engineering guidelines
• Drive PCB quality and design consistency across projects

2. External Layout Management (20%)

• Coordinate external PCB layout service providers
• Clarify design requirements and review layout deliverables
• Manage layout iterations and design changes
• Ensure timely release of PCB manufacturing data

3. Technical Review of Internal & Supplier Designs (20%)

• Review PCB designs developed internally or by suppliers
• Assess layout quality for high-speed, power and mixed-signal designs
• Identify risks related to SI, PI, EMC, thermal and manufacturability
• Support architecture and design reviews

4. Manufacturing & Product Release Support (15%)

• Support Gerber release and manufacturing package preparation
• Review PCB fabrication and assembly considerations
• Work with manufacturing and suppliers to resolve design-related issues
• Improve DFM/DFT quality and production robustness

5. Methodology & Capability Development (15%)
