Motherboard Hardware Designer

About Us:

At Microamp Solutions, we're pioneering the future of wireless communication with cutting-edge 5G mmWave Radio Units. We are a fast-growing team passionate about telecom innovation—and we're looking for someone just as driven to join us in building, deploying, and supporting the next generation of radio access technology.

Your Role:

We are hiring an experienced PCB Designer with strong expertise in high-speed digital design, focusing on x86-based CPU motherboards. You will work closely with hardware engineers, mechanical engineers, and manufacturing teams to design, optimize, and deliver complex multilayer boards that meet performance, thermal, and EMI/EMC requirements. The successful candidate will gain valuable experience and be responsible for:

• Design multilayer PCB layouts for motherboards with x86 processors (Intel, AMD, or similar).

• Collaborate with hardware engineers to translate schematics into optimized board layouts.

• Route high-speed differential pairs for PCIe, DDR4/DDR5, USB, SATA, and other high-bandwidth interfaces.

• Ensure compliance with signal integrity, power integrity, and thermal management requirements.

• Perform design rule checks (DRC), electrical rule checks (ERC), and ensure manufacturability (DFM/DFT).

• Generate fabrication and assembly documentation (Gerber, ODB++, BOMs, drawings).

• Work with vendors to resolve manufacturing issues and optimize cost/yield.

• Implement EMI/EMC best practices in board layout and grounding strategies.

• Participate in board bring-up, debugging, and validation, including BIOS/UEFI and firmware integration.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or related field (or equivalent experience).

• 5+ years of experience in PCB design, preferably for motherboards or high-performance computing boards.

• Proficiency with PCB CAD tools (e.g., Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro/OrCAD, Mentor Xpedition).

• Strong knowledge of high-speed design techniques and constraints for DDR5 memory, PCIe 5.0, and other modern bus interfaces.

• Understanding of power delivery design for CPUs and GPUs.

• Experience in motherboard bring-up with x86 CPUs, including BIOS/UEFI configuration and firmware updates.

• Strong knowledge of Linux systems, including kernel configuration and device driver integration.

• Experience with design for manufacturability (DFM) and design for test (DFT) principles.

• Knowledge of IPC standards (IPC-2221, IPC-7351, etc.).

• Your confidence, trustworthiness, and general excitement of technology is a must

• Experience with Intel or AMD reference designs and design guidelines.

• Familiarity with signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) simulation tools.

• Experience in embedded system design and integration.

• Hands-on experience with lab tools (oscilloscopes, TDR, logic analyzers).

• Familiarity with server-grade or industrial x86 motherboards.

• Knowledge of Linux kernel driver development or customization for hardware bring-up.

• PLN gross (contract of employment or casual work contract),

• Exposure to the full product lifecycle, from design to prototyping and testing.

• Opportunity to join a fast-growing team at the early stage,

• Healthcare & Sport packages,

• Flexible working hours (inc. homeworking),

• Integration events,

• Great atmosphere and coffee .
