PCB Layout Engineer, Wearables
MetaUnited Statesfull_timeVerifiedPosted 14 Feb 2026
About the role
PCB Layout Engineers at Meta are responsible for designing, developing, and releasing printed circuit board (PCB) layouts for advanced hardware products. Working closely with cross-functional engineering teams, vendors, and document control, you will deliver high-quality PCB designs that meet product requirements for performance, manufacturability, and reliability. You will contribute to the full product development lifecycle, from concept and prototyping to production release, and help maintain best practices and standards in PCB design across Meta.
Responsibilities
Provide PCB board design for simple to moderately complex boards
* Collaborate with vendors to select materials, stack-ups, and ensure compliance with impedance and DFX rulesets
* Create and manage PCB documentation including fabrication and assembly packages
* Participate in design reviews and release packages into PLM systems
* Troubleshoot and resolve manufacturing issues with support as needed
* Demonstrate best practices in PCB design and process
* Work effectively with cross-functional teams in device, infra, and research contexts
Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field Or equivalent practical experience
* 2+ years of relevant experience in PCB design using industry-standard tools (such as Altium, Cadence, Mentor Graphics, OrCAD, or similar)
* Experience in schematic symbols and PCB footprints in ECAD libraries
* Experience interpreting datasheets and schematics to generate netlists and design constraints
* Knowledge of widely recognized electronic standards (IPC, JEDEC, IEEE, or similar)
* Experience designing at least one type of PCB (e.g., HDI, Rigid, Rigid-Flex)
* Experience troubleshooting basic manufacturing and assembly issues
* Experience with structured document control and release processes (e.g., managing design files, revision history, and release documentation), whether through PLM systems or equivalent methods
* Proven communication skills 5+ years of experience of PCB layout design using Cadence Allegro
* Proficient in Flex circuit design
* Experience in SiP design (rules and PCB implementation)
* Experience with advanced board stack-ups (eg. ELIC,mSap)
* Experience in Consumer Wearable product design lifecycle
* Proven track record of designing and managing all aspects of printed board design used in high-volume consumer products
