The Job:
Working with our Hardware Design Engineers, you will be responsible for designing complex multi-layer SMT and PTH PCBs using the latest Cadence Allegro PCB and Allegro Design Entry HDL tools. Experience using Skill and Perl scripting language would be an advantage. The PCBs are typically 14 layers with high speed signals and high component densities, including many BGA devices.
