Full Job Description
About Eridan At Eridan we believe in the power of collaboration and communication to achieve our mission: connect the planet to empower a sustainable, shared future. That mission is possible with our patented transmitter which decreases the cost and power required to roll out 5G by 10x when deployed globally. This is all facilitated through our offices: our Sunnyvale headquarters has big windows (even in the lab!), is walking distance to downtown and the Caltrain, and fits the entire team in the cafeteria for our frequent company parties. Learn more about our mission here. About this Job We are looking for a Senior Layout Engineer who can serve as the critical bridge between circuit design and physical reality. As we scale our breakthrough radio architectures, we need a "Layout Architect"—not just a drafter—who can navigate the complex physics of 10GHz signals and high-density digital routing. You will be the last line of defense before fabrication, ensuring that our high-performance RF and digital systems translate into reliable, manufacturable, and high-yielding PCB assemblies. What You’ll Be Doing Complex Physical Implementation: Own the end-to-end layout of high-density, multi-layer PCBs, including FPGAs, high pin-count BGAs, and mixed-signal architectures. High-Speed & RF Precision: Execute precision routing for high-speed signals (e.g., DDR4) and RF paths up to 10GHz, maintaining strict impedance control and optimal signal integrity. Mixed-Signal Partitioning: Implement sophisticated grounding and isolation strategies to prevent interference between sensitive analog/RF sections and noisy digital circuits. Design for Excellence (DFx): Collaborate with vendors to ensure designs meet DFM (Manufacturability), DFA (Assembly), and DFT (Test) standards, balancing ideal design rules with real-world fabrication capabilities. Library & Workflow Optimization: Manage IPC-compliant component libraries and improve internal Altium workflows using Altium 365 and emerging AI-e
