PCB Layout Engineering Lead

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 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,
