Job Description: 

We are seeking an experienced Silicon Packaging Design Engineer with a strong background in board design and package-board integration to drive the end-to-end development of test boards supporting advanced silicon package validation and characterization. The successful candidate will be responsible for board design execution from concept through tapeout, ensuring high-quality, manufacturable designs that meet electrical, mechanical, performance, and cost objectives.

This role requires close collaboration with package design, test vehicle design, validation, and laboratory teams to optimize board requirements, package-board performance, and system-level integration. The ideal candidate will bring deep technical expertise in PCB design, signal integrity considerations, manufacturing requirements, and design rule compliance, along with a proven track record of delivering complex designs in high-volume semiconductor environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive end-to-end development of test board designs from concept through tapeout.
• Perform board planning, floor planning, routing studies, and physical layout implementation.
• Conduct board fit and routing studies to evaluate design, performance, manufacturability, and cost tradeoffs.
• Partner closely with package design, test engineering, and validation teams to define board requirements and optimize package-board interactions.
• Develop and validate board connectivity, ensuring design integrity and compliance with project specifications.
• Perform design rule checks (DRCs) and manufacturing design rule validation to ensure successful fabrication and assembly.
• Lead internal and external design reviews and drive resolution of design issues and DRC violations.
• Collaborate with board fabrication and assembly vendors to obtain design approval and support manufacturing readiness.
• Define and maintain board design guidelines, standards, and best practices.
• Analyze design data and technical results to identify opportunities for optimization and continuous improvement.
• Create and maintain design documentation and release collateral within Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems.
• Support root cause analysis and troubleshooting activities related to board design, package-board integration, and test hardware performance.

What You'll Bring

• Strong technical leadership and ownership mindset.
• Complex projects independently while collaborating across global teams.
