  Req#: 23735

  We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Layout Developer to join our hardware development team. This role is focused on executing complex PCB layouts and high-density ASIC package designs for advanced optical sub-assemblies and integrated systems. The ideal candidate will work closely with electrical and mechanical engineers, as well as external suppliers, to ensure designs meet performance, manufacturability, and reliability requirements. This is a hands-on technical role with significant ownership of layout execution, design rule integration, and DFM processes.
  
  

  Qualifications

  • Proven experience in PCB layout and ASIC package design, preferably in high-speed and high-density applications.
  • Proficiency with industry-standard EDA tools (e.g., Cadence Allegro, Mentor Graphics, Altium Designer).
  • Strong understanding of signal integrity, power integrity, and thermal management principles.
  • Experience with DFM practices and collaboration with PCB fabricators.
  • Ability to interpret and implement complex design rules from suppliers and manufacturing partners.
  • Skilled in creating and managing schematic symbols and footprints.
  • Familiarity with schematic capture tools and processes.
  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills across multidisciplinary teams.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field; equivalent experience will be considered.

  Responsibilities

  • Execute PCB layout for advanced optical sub-assemblies, incorporating high-speed, high-density design principles.
  • Perform complex ASIC package layout, including substrate routing, bump placement, and integration with mechanical constraints.
  • Collaborate with PCB and advanced substrate suppliers to understand and apply evolving design rules and technology roadmaps.
  • Own and drive the Design for Manufacturability (DFM) process with PCB fabricators to ensure robust and cost-effective high performance designs.
  • Develop and maintain schematic symbols and footprints to support accurate and efficient design workflows.
  • Complete schematic capture with support from the electrical design team.
  • Work closely with electrical and mechanical design teams to define floor planning and PCB constraints.
  • Participate in design reviews and contribute to continuous improvement of layout methodologies and standards.

• About the company

  Nokia’s transition to a primary focus on telecommunications began in the 1990s. The first GSM call was made in 1991 using Nokia equipment. Rapid success in the mobile phone sector allowed Nokia to become by 1998, the best-selling mobile phone brand in the world. In 2003 Nokia introduced the first camera phone. In 2011, to address increasing competition from iOS and Android operating systems, Nokia entered into a strategic partnership with Microsoft. In 2014 Nokia sold its mobile and devices division to Microsoft. The creation of Nokia Networks, following the buy-out of joint-venture partner Siemens in 2013, laid the foundation for Nokia’s transformation into primarily a network hardware and software provider. The 2015 acquisition of Franco-American telecommunications equipment provider Alcatel-Lucent greatly broadened the scope of Nokia’s portfolio and customer base. Additional acquisitions have positioned Nokia to be an industry leader in the transition to 5G wireless technology by offering the only end-to-end 5G network portfolio available on a global basis. In 2016 the Nokia brand re-entered the mobile handset market through a licensing agreement with HMD Global, allowing them to offer phones under the Nokia brand.
