What are the responsibilities and job description for the PCB Layout Engineer position at Cypress HCM?
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 Role
An engineer in this role will work with a very small team of electrical design engineers to turn schematics and mechanical constraints into finished circuit board designs and fabrication packages that can be manufactured. They will work with the supply chain team to get those boards ordered and fabricated.
In This Role You Will
- Work with electrical and mechanical engineers to trade off design requirements
- Place and route boards, both brand-new and in subsequent revisions
- Handle DFM feedback from board vendors to get to build readiness
- Create rulesets, stackup templates, and fab package templates to accelerate future designs
You might thrive in this role if you:
- Have a background in PCB design
- Are interested and willing to try new tools and technologies to accelerate your work
- Have an unflappable commitment to principled design decisions and consistent quality
- Are willing to tell your designers that they’re prioritizing badly
- Don’t feel strong attachment to any particular work product
What success looks like:
- Electrical design engineers are spending a majority of their time making schematics and doing bring-up
- Design cycles for new boards are 1-2 weeks faster than they are today.
