About the role We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced PCB Component Engineer to spearhead our printed circuit board design, layout, and manufacturing readiness strategies. In this role, you will act as the ultimate technical authority and gatekeeper between our hardware layout teams and manufacturing partners. You will own the entire PCB lifecycle from schematic capture and advanced stack-up architecture through high-yield mass production, ensuring unparalleled signal integrity, reliability, and Design for Manufacturability (DFM). Who You’ll Work With Arista Component Engineers work closely with Design Engineers, Supply Chain Management, and New Product Introduction Engineers to identify new components, drive an alternate sourcing strategy, and successfully launch products and sustain them in production. Component Engineers are responsible for ensuring components meet quality, reliability, and assurance of supply requirements for use in Arista products. Component Engineers report to the Component Engineering Manager. Responsibilities Partner with Arista development engineers, commodity teams, and suppliers to create innovative PCB solutions Assess and qualify PCB suppliers Contribute to the development of PCB commodity strategy Participate in the supplier selection process Take part in technical and process audits of suppliers as needed Lead PCB failure analysis and drive containment, corrective actions, and risk assessment Work closely with manufacturing and engineering teams to resolve complex technical issues Collaborate with cross-functional teams across the organization Effectively communicate complex technical concepts and solutions Requirements Education: Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related technical discipline. Experience: 8+ years of direct, hands-on experience in PCB design, layout, and fabrication management. Tool Proficiency: Mastery of advanced ECAD suites, specifically Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, or Siemens Xpedition, along with automated validation tools like Valor NPI. Manufacturing Depth: Comprehensive understanding of PCB fabrication processes (e.g., plating, etching, lamination, drilling aspect ratios) and raw material properties (laminates, resins, copper foils). Process Excellence: Working knowledge of IPC standards (IPC-2221, IPC-6012, IPC-7351) and quality frameworks (DOE, DFMEA). Nice to have Master’s Degree (M.S.) in Electrical Engineering or Materials Science. Formally certified as an IPC Certified Interconnect Designer (CID or CID+). Prior experience managing layout teams in high-volume consumer electronics or high-reliability (aerospace/automotive) environments. Technical Leadership: Lead and mentor a team of PCB layout designers, establishing standardized design methodologies, library management practices, and component footprint guidelines. Advanced Architecture & Layout: Drive architectural decisions for complex, multi-layer, high-density interconnect (HDI) printed circuit boards incorporating microvias, blind/buried vias, and advanced material stack-ups. DFx Mastery: Enforce strict Design for Manufacturability (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), and Design for Testing (DFT) guidelines to maximize production yield and eliminate vendor Engineering Questions (EQs). Signal & Power Integrity: Collaborate closely with hardware and SI/PI engineers to implement constraint-driven routing for high-speed digital interfaces (e.g., PCIe, DDR4/DDR5, USB4) and RF circuits. Vendor & Supply Chain Liaison: Technical point of contact for external fabrication and assembly partners. Map and align internal design constraints to tier-1 vendor capabilities. Quality & Root Cause Analysis: Lead failure analysis investigations (8D, FMEA) for PCB fabrication or assembly defects, implementing robust corrective actions. DFA (Assembly): Optimizing component spacing, orientation, fiducial placement, and thermal relief pads to prevent defects like tombstoning. DFT (Testing): Integrating test points, boundary scan paths, and fixture access areas without compromising signal integrity. DFM Software: High proficiency in automated validation tools like Valor NPI, Altium DFM Check, or Allegro Constraint Manager. Vendor Capability Mapping: Aligning design constraints to the explicit capabilities of specific tier-1 and tier-2 fabrication facilities. EQ Resolution: Evaluating and approving fabricator Engineering Questions (EQs) regarding material substitutions or copper etching adjustments.
