About this role

DoorDash Labs seeks an experienced PCB Layout Engineer to own the physical design of drone delivery aircraft electronics, taking boards from schematic through fabrication and flight-ready assembly. You'll be the sole layout expert on a senior hardware team, designing dense multi-layer boards that integrate power, RF, and high-speed digital while meeting airborne constraints.

What you'll do

  • Own end-to-end PCB layout in Altium Designer including floorplanning, placement, routing, and fabrication release
  • Design dense multi-layer controlled-impedance boards combining power/motor-drive, RF/comms, and high-speed digital
  • Optimize layouts for size, weight, and thermal constraints while maintaining signal and power integrity
  • Develop DFM/DFA/DFT documentation and complete fabrication/assembly packages with stackups and Gerber outputs
  • Apply EMI/EMC-aware layout strategies to meet reliability and regulatory flight requirements
  • Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, power, reliability, and manufacturing teams on board bring-up and debug

What they're looking for

  • Altium Designer (expert level)
  • Signal integrity and power integrity design
  • Controlled-impedance PCB layout
  • Mixed-signal layout (power, RF, high-speed digital)
  • DFM/DFA and IPC standards (IPC-2221/2222, IPC-A-600/610)
  • EMI/EMC layout and grounding strategies
  • Multi-layer board design and stackup
  • Component library management
