Full job description

Fidus is a global high-tech design firm headquartered in Ottawa, with additional design centres in Kitchener-Waterloo and San Jose. We specialize in leading-edge electronic product development, with hardware, embedded software, FPGA/ASIC, and signal integrity teams working together to design and deliver next-generation products for clients in emerging technology markets.

Position Overview/Mandate:

The PCB Layout Designer is responsible for designing and delivering complex, high-speed, multi-layer PCBs for Fidus clients. You will work closely with hardware, signal integrity, mechanical teams, and manufacturing partners to translate electrical requirements into high-quality, manufacturable PCB layouts.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working on dense designs across different technologies and substrates, values attention to detail, and takes pride in producing robust, zero-defect layouts that meet performance, cost, and manufacturing requirements.

Make an Impact with US:

At Fidus, you’ll work on high-speed, high-complexity electronic systems, often using emerging technologies before they reach the broader market. You’ll collaborate across FPGA/DSP, hardware, embedded software, verification, SI/PI, PCB layout, and mechanical/thermal design as part of cross-functional teams delivering real products for our clients.

In practice, that means contributing to projects in areas such as space and satellite systems, next-generation communications and networking, high-performance compute and storage platforms, advanced video, imaging, VR/AR applications, and industrial, medical, and automotive systems. You won’t be limited to a single product or industry—your work will follow the technology, not just one roadmap.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Layout of complex, multi-layer, high speed PCBs using Cadence Allegro PCB Design, Mentor Expedition/PADS or Altium.
PCB layout design on different core material substrate, component placement, impedance matching and routing analysis
Work closely with the mechanical and the signal integrity team during product development phases
Generate fabrication drawings, assembly drawings and drill files
Work closely with board houses to ensure compliance with DFA and DFM practices and lead DFM reviews, until closure to ensure the design is ready for high volume manufacturing
Interface with board houses to resolve technical issues
Research and implement new techniques and technologies to grow the PCB design skill-set, reduce PCB cost, and stay current on industry PCB design practices.

Who You are:

Minimum 5 years of experience laying out dense, high-speed, digital and analog boards for various industries and products. You must have a proven track record for delivering high-quality designs.
Extensive experience applying advanced electrical constraint sets using the Allegro Constraint Manager, or equivalent
College technician diploma or equivalent
IPC certification will be considered an asset
Be detail driven and have a good understanding of how to produce zero-defect layouts
Understand the fundamentals of high-speed circuit card design and routing
Exhibit strong communication skills
Interact well with customers and other employees
Ramp-up quickly on new technologies and processes
Contribute to a dynamic and friendly working environment.

This role is being posted to fill an existing vacancy

Annual base salary ranges from $90,000 to $125,000. The final offer within this range takes into account the variations in knowledge, skills, experience, and market conditions, and with consideration to internal equity.

Our competitive compensation package also includes a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision plans, matching GRSP contributions, annual profit-sharing bonus, along with other supplementary benefits.

We also recognize that candidates show interest throughout different career stages and welcome all applications. When there is a great fit, the level of the role may be shifted as applicable.
