About the role

  • Design multilayer PCB layouts for motherboards with x86 processors (Intel, AMD, or similar)
  • Collaborate with hardware, mechanical, and manufacturing engineers to translate schematics into optimized board layouts
  • Route high-speed differential pairs for PCIe, DDR4/DDR5, USB, SATA, and other high-bandwidth interfaces
  • Ensure compliance with signal integrity, power integrity, and thermal management requirements
  • Perform design rule checks (DRC), electrical rule checks (ERC), and ensure manufacturability (DFM/DFT)
  • Generate fabrication and assembly documentation (Gerber, ODB++, BOMs, drawings)
  • Work with vendors to resolve manufacturing issues and optimize cost/yield
  • Implement EMI/EMC best practices in board layout and grounding strategies
  • Participate in board bring-up, debugging, and validation, including BIOS/UEFI and firmware integration

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or related field (or equivalent experience)
  • 5+ years of experience in PCB design, preferably for motherboards or high-performance computing boards
  • Proficiency with PCB CAD tools (Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro/OrCAD, Mentor Xpedition)
  • Strong knowledge of high-speed design techniques and constraints for DDR5 memory, PCIe 5.0, and other modern bus interfaces
  • Understanding of power delivery design for CPUs and GPUs
  • Experience in motherboard bring-up with x86 CPUs, including BIOS/UEFI configuration and firmware updates
  • Strong knowledge of Linux systems, including kernel configuration and device driver integration
  • Experience with design for manufacturability (DFM) and design for test (DFT) principles
  • Knowledge of IPC standards (IPC-2221, IPC-7351, etc.)
  • (Good to have) Experience with Intel or AMD reference designs and design guidelines
  • (Good to have) Familiarity with signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) simulation tools
  • (Good to have) Experience in embedded system design and integration
  • (Good to have) Hands-on experience with lab tools (oscilloscopes, TDR, logic analyzers)
  • (Good to have) Familiarity with server-grade or industrial x86 motherboards
  • (Good to have) Knowledge of Linux kernel driver development or customization for hardware bring-up

Benefits

  • Exposure to the full product lifecycle, from design to prototyping and testing.
  • Opportunity to join a fast-growing team at the early stage
  • Healthcare & Sport packages
  • Flexible working hours (inc. homeworking)
  • Integration events
  • Great atmosphere and coffee
