The posting

At Kandou, we are redefining the economics of AI infrastructure. Our mission is to democratise AI by significantly reducing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of hardware systems — a critical barrier to scalable adoption.

Our proprietary MIMO-over-copper technology powers a high-performance, chiplet-based AI memory fabric that is both scalable and energy-efficient. Unlike traditional interconnects, our solution reduces power consumption significantly while preserving high bandwidth and ultra-low latency — unlocking unprecedented efficiency for AI training and inference at scale.

Kandou’s architecture is not just an incremental improvement — it’s a foundational shift in how AI hardware is built for the future.

Job Title: PCB Layout Engineer

Location: Taipei, Taiwan

Key Responsibilities

- Own and execute the PCB layout design for assigned Kandou board products from initial floorplan through to final fabrication and assembly data release.

- Translate hardware schematics into high-quality, DFM-compliant PCB layouts, incorporating SI/PI, thermal, and mechanical constraints as defined by the engineering team.

- Define and document layer stack-up, impedance requirements, and PCB fabrication specifications in coordination with PCB fab partners.

- Generate, verify, and release complete fabrication and assembly output packages (Gerber/ODB++, drill files, assembly drawings, BOM), ensuring accuracy and completeness.

Skills

- Strong practical skills in high-speed PCB layout, including controlled impedance routing, differential pair routing, length matching, and via management for high-frequency signals.

- Good understanding of power delivery network (PDN) design principles, decoupling capacitor placement, and plane design for complex multi-power-domain boards.

- Ability to read and understand hardware schematics and translate them accurately into manufacturable PCB layouts.

- Knowledge of EMC/EMI design guidelines and their implementation in PCB layer stack-up definition and routing.

- Strong attention to detail with a structured, quality-focused approach to layout verification, design rule check (DRC), and release processes.

- Good communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively with hardware engineers, SI/PI specialists, and external PCB fabrication and assembly partners.

- Ability to manage own workload and deliver layout milestones in line with project schedules.

- Fluent English communication skills required; Mandarin proficiency is an advantage for coordination with local partners and teams in Taiwan.

Experience

- 5+ years of professional PCB layout experience, preferably in a semiconductor, server hardware, or high-speed electronics environment.

- Demonstrated hands-on experience designing complex, multi-layer PCBs for high-speed digital interfaces such as PCIe, DDR4/5, USB, LPDDR, or Ethernet.

- Proficiency with industry-standard PCB EDA tools, in particular Cadence Allegro PCB Designer and/or Mentor/Siemens Xpedition or PADS.

- Experience applying IPC standards (IPC-2221, IPC-2222, IPC-6012) and Design for Manufacture (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) guidelines throughout the layout process.

- Experience working with PCB fabrication and assembly partners, including generating and reviewing fabrication, assembly, and drill output data (Gerber/ODB++).

- Familiarity with PCB fab and OSAT ecosystems in Taiwan and/or Asia is strongly preferred.

- Experience reviewing and implementing signal integrity and power integrity (SI/PI) guidelines provided by hardware engineers into the physical layout.

- Experience with schematic capture tools (e.g., Cadence Schematic, OrCAD) and BOM management is beneficial.

Education

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related technical field.

Additional professional training or certification in PCB design tools and methodologies (e.g., Cadence Allegro, Mentor Xpedition) is an advantage.

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.
