About the Team Our Robotics team is focused on unlocking general-purpose robotics and advancing toward AGI-level intelligence in dynamic, real-world environments. Working across the full model and systems stack, we integrate cutting-edge hardware and software to explore a broad range of robotic form factors. We strive to seamlessly blend high-level AI capabilities with the physical constraints of real-world systems to improve people’s lives. About the Role We are looking for a PCB Layout Engineer to design high-density electronics for next-generation robotic systems. You will own PCB layout from floor planning through fabrication release, working closely with electrical, SI/PI, mechanical, and manufacturing teams. This role is based in San Francisco and requires in-person presence four days per week. In this role, you will: Own PCB layout, component placement, routing, and fabrication release for complex robotic systems. Collaborate with SI/PI engineers to refine layouts based on simulation results. Implement high-speed routing, controlled impedance, power distribution, decoupling, grounding, EMI/EMC, thermal, and mechanical-integration requirements. Work directly with fabricators and assembly partners to define stack-ups, establish design rules, drive DFM/DFA/DFT reviews, and close findings before release. Prepare fabrication and assembly documentation, including drawings, ODB++, drill files, stack-up tables, and manufacturing notes. Inspect newly received PCBAs and participate in board-level manufacturing failure analysis. Contribute to reusable design constraints and layout workflows, and maintain component-library assets such as symbols, footprints, and 3D models. You might thrive in this role if you: Have 6+ years of experience designing complex, multilayer PCBs. Are fluent in Cadence Allegro PCB Designer and Constraint Manager. Have strong HDI design experience, including fine-pitch BGAs, microvias, blind and buried vias, via-in-pad, and sequential lamination.

This position provides an excellent opportunity to build expertise in PCB design, manufacturing, component engineering, and design automation while supporting some of the most advanced computing platforms in the world.
What you'll be doing:
Develop PCB footprints, padstacks, schematic symbols, and mechanical library content using Cadence PCB design tools.
Review component datasheets, package drawings, and engineering specifications to create accurate design libraries.
Support library verification, release, and documentation processes.
Partner with PCB design, mechanical engineering, manufacturing engineering, and operations teams to resolve library-related issues.
Learn and apply industry standards, including IPC requirements, DFM, DFA, and DFT principles.
Support quality initiatives to ensure library content is accurate, manufacturable, and scalable.
Participate in continuous improvement and automation efforts within the library environment.
Develop a strong understanding of PCB fabrication, assembly, and component technologies.
What We Need to See:
BS degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field or equivalent experience.
2+ years of relevant experience.
Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality.
Ability to interpret technical drawings, datasheets, and engineering documentation.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Ability to learn new technologies and processes quickly.
Demonstrated ability to work effectively in a collaborative engineering environment.
Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd:
Experience with Cadence Allegro, OrCAD, Altium, or other PCB design tools.
PCB design coursework, internships, research projects, or personal projects.
Understanding of PCB fabrication and PCB assembly processes.
Familiarity with IPC standards and PCB design guidelines.
Experience with Python or other scripting languages.
You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
