Micron Technology is a world leader in innovating memory and storage solutions that accelerate the transformation of information into intelligence, inspiring the world to learn, communicate, and advance faster than ever. This is an on-site role based in Boise, Idaho.

Responsibilities

• Lead the PCB design process from initial requirements and pre-layout planning through physical layout, design review, release, fabrication, and assembly support.
• Perform pre-engineering activities required before layout begins, including requirements capture, constraint development, board stackup definition, floor-planning, placement strategy, and coordination of design inputs.
• Create detailed physical layouts for complex, high-speed PCBs with a strong emphasis on signal integrity, power integrity, manufacturability, and reliability.
• Demonstrate AI proficiency by effectively using approved AI tools to enhance productivity, improve work quality, and drive continuous process improvement while adhering to responsible AI and data governance practices.
• Partner closely with product engineering, signal integrity, mechanical, manufacturing, and other cross-functional teams to develop robust PCB solutions.
• Develop and apply PCB design rules, standards, and best practices that support Micron’s advanced engineering needs.
• Evaluate existing PCB designs, identify improvement opportunities, and implement enhancements that improve quality, performance, and efficiency.
• Prepare and verify fabrication and assembly deliverables, support release documentation, and collaborate with internal and external partners throughout the build process.
• Manage multiple design requests and changing priorities while maintaining schedule commitments and design quality.
• Serve as a technical resource for innovative PCB layout solutions and contribute to continuous improvement of design methodologies and workflows.

Requirements

• Extensive experience in PCB layout design, including ownership of complex board designs from concept through release.
• Strong command of PCB manufacturing processes, fabrication requirements, assembly considerations, and design-for-manufacturability principles.
• Deep understanding of high-speed PCB design principles, signal integrity constraints, and power distribution network design techniques.
• Proficiency with Cadence Allegro PCB design tools.
• Experience performing front-end or pre-engineering tasks such as stackup planning, constraint definition, floor-planning, and design rule development.
• Able to solve complex technical problems and work effectively in a fast-paced environment with changing priorities.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively across engineering disciplines.
• A positive, team-oriented, can-do attitude and a strong sense of ownership and accountability.

Preferred Qualifications

• Completion of signal integrity coursework, certifications, or industry training.
• Familiarity with industry standards related to PCB layout, documentation, and manufacturing processes.
• Experience with high-density, high-speed, or advanced memory-related PCB designs.
• CID or CID+ certification preferred.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
