Technical Skills:

• Proficiency with Cadence layout tools, especially Allegro and ACM.

• Strong understanding of high‑speed design principles, impedance control, and EMI/EMC best practices.

• Experience reviewing and applying front‑end design constraints.

• Solid knowledge of PCB materials, stack‑up design, and manufacturability considerations.

• Familiarity with IPC standards and PCB fabrication processes.

Required Skills:

• Experience with DDRx memory interfaces, SerDes technologies, and power distribution networks.

• Deep understanding of signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI), especially during early placement and routing planning.

• Ability to manage multiple layout projects and meet tight deadlines.

• Strong communication and documentation skills.

Qualities:

• Communicative, positive, and customer‑oriented.

• Strong analytical skills, logical reasoning, and problem‑solving abilities.
