PCB Layout Engineer

About the role

You'll bring PCB layout in-house — a core quality goal — owning floorplanning, stackups, and layout while coordinating closely with mechanical, thermal, and SI/PI engineering to land complete, manufacturable boards. You will report into the Director, Electrical Engineering on our Hardware team in our DoorDash Labs organization. Our offices are open, and this position is hybrid or fully onsite — expect to be fully onsite when needed.

Responsibilities

• Perform floorplan analysis and create stackups, layout, and footprints
• Work with mechanical engineering to ensure fit and form compatibility with mechanical systems

• Drive toward consistently high-quality layout

Requirements

• Strong PCB layout experience across digital and mixed-signal boards
• Familiar with stackup technologies, their limitations and considerations, and cost/lead-time impacts
• Controlled-impedance and high-speed routing know-how; PI/PDN fundamentals
• Proficient in a professional layout tool (Altium, Cadence, or similar)
• Comfortable coordinating with mechanical, thermal, and SI/PI engineering
