Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Green-card filing pattern in this occupation

Context, not a finding about this posting: of this employer's 3 green-card filings in this occupation, 100% were for a worker who already held the job.

Files H-1B transfers

22 transfer filings in the last year, covering 22 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.

About the role

  • 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.
  • 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.

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.
  • 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
  • Maintain component footprints, padstacks, design libraries, layout standards, and release documentation.
  • Support prototype builds, board bring-up, failure analysis, and layout revisions through production.
  • 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.

Requirements

  • 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.
  • Experience applying IPC standards and fabrication, assembly, test, and manufacturability requirements.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and adapt to changing priorities.
  • Experience working on server hardware, AI accelerators, hardware accelerator, datacenter, AI Hardware, enterprise product, GPU, CPU, TPU, server platform etc.

Nice to have

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