Pcb Design Layout Engineer

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · Santa Clara, CA

NVIDIA is seeking a PCB Design Layout Engineer to perform PCB layout of high speed/high-density PCBs for various business units, including AI and Deep Learning. The role involves floor planning, component placement, constraint management, and ensuring signal/trace integrity while adhering to regulations.

What you'd actually do

  1. Working closely with product design engineers, you'll perform PCB layout of high speed/high-density value conscious PCBs for all business units at NVIDIA (GPU Desktop, Notebook, Automotive, Professional, Data Center, Deep Learning and AI), all using Cadence PCB design tools Allegro 23.1 and Capture.
  2. Your focus will be on the complete development of PCB layout, floor planning and detailed component placement, constraint management, with a concept of topology and signal/trace integrity.
  3. The designs you create will need to follow SI constraints, EMI/RFI control and FCC, UL and European regulations, IPC specifications and NRC regulations.
