The posting

Cerebras Systems builds the world's largest AI chip, 56 times larger than GPUs. This architecture allows Cerebras to deliver industry-leading training and inference speeds; over 10 times faster than GPU-based hyperscale cloud inference services.

This order of magnitude increase in speed is transforming the user experience of AI applications, unlocking real-time iteration and increasing intelligence via additional agentic computation.

Cerebras works with the leading model labs, global enterprises, and cutting-edge AI-native startups. OpenAI recently announced a multi-year partnership https://openai.com/index/cerebras-partnership/ with Cerebras, to deploy 750 megawatts of scale, transforming key workloads with ultra high-speed inference.

Cerebras is seeking an exceptional PCB Layout Lead to own the physical implementation of complex, high-performance printed circuit boards for AI systems. This role will translate schematics and engineering requirements into production-ready layouts, optimizing signal integrity, power integrity, thermal performance, reliability, and manufacturability.

Responsibilities

- Own multilayer PCB layout from initial component placement through fabrication and assembly release.

- Translate schematics, mechanical constraints, and electrical requirements into constraint-driven board designs using industry-standard PCB layout tools.

- Define and implement board stackups, controlled-impedance structures, routing rules, reference planes, return paths, and length- and phase-matching constraints.

- Place and route high-speed digital, high-current power, and sensitive analog circuits, including dense BGA fanout and differential interfaces.

- Apply signal-integrity and power-integrity best practices to minimize crosstalk, discontinuities, noise, voltage drop, and electromagnetic interference.

- Collaborate with electrical, SI/PI, mechanical, thermal, compliance, manufacturing, and test engineers to establish constraints and resolve layout issues.

- Work with fabrication and assembly partners to select materials, validate stackups and via structures, and improve yield, cost, and schedule.

- Perform design reviews and DFM, DFA, and DFT checks; generate and verify fabrication drawings, assembly drawings, drill data, Gerbers, ODB++, IPC-2581, and related release packages.

- Maintain component footprints, padstacks, design libraries, layout standards, and release documentation.

- Support prototype builds, board bring-up, failure analysis, and layout revisions through production.

Minimum Qualifications

- Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, electronics engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

- 10+ years of hands-on experience laying out complex, high-speed, multilayer printed circuit boards.

- Expertise with Cadence Allegro PCB Designer and Constraint Manager; experience with Altium Designer or equivalent tools is also relevant.

- Strong knowledge of component placement, controlled-impedance routing, differential pairs, length matching, return-path continuity, and power distribution.

- Experience with dense BGA escape routing, HDI structures, blind and buried vias, microvias, via-in-pad, and backdrilling.

- Working knowledge of signal integrity, power integrity, EMI/EMC, thermal design, creepage and clearance, and high-current routing.

- Experience applying IPC standards and fabrication, assembly, test, and manufacturability requirements.

- Ability to create and review complete PCB fabrication and assembly release packages.

- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and adapt to changing priorities.

- Excellent collaborative and interpersonal skills with multi-disciplined teams.

- Experience working on server hardware, AI accelerators, hardware accelerator, datacenter, AI Hardware, enterprise product, GPU, CPU, TPU, server platform etc.

Preferred Qualifications

- Experience designing large, high-layer-count boards for compute, networking, server, or AI accelerator systems.

- Experience routing high-speed interfaces such as DDR4/DDR5, PCIe Gen4/Gen5 or later, Ethernet, USB, and multi-gigabit SerDes.

- Experience with high-current, low-voltage power delivery, VRM placement, decoupling strategy, copper balancing, and thermal optimization.

- Experience developing Allegro SKILL, scripts, or automation that improves layout quality and release efficiency.

- Demonstrated success delivering first-pass functional boards and supporting products from prototype through volume production.

Location: Remote. Sunnyvale, CA (Hybrid) is highly preferred.

- The base salary range for this position is $210,000 – $230,000+ annually. Actual compensation may include bonus and equity, and will be determined based on factors such as experience, skills, and qualifications.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
