About the role

  • This is a high-ownership role on a small, highly senior team.

Responsibilities

  • Own end-to-end PCB layout in Altium Designer - floorplanning, component placement, routing, and release to fabrication and assembly.
  • Design dense, multi-layer, controlled-impedance boards that combine power/motor-drive, RF/comms, and high-speed digital on a single flight-ready assembly.
  • Optimize layouts for the size, weight, and thermal constraints of airborne hardware while meeting signal- and power-integrity requirements.
  • Own DFM/DFA/DFT and produce complete fabrication and assembly packages - stackups, fab/assembly drawings, and Gerber/ODB++ outputs.
  • Partner closely with EE, mechanical, power, reliability, and manufacturing teams, and support board bring-up, debug, and rework.
  • Strong command of signal integrity, power integrity, and controlled-impedance design (return paths, decoupling, stackup, and plane design).
  • DoorDash Labs is building the future of drone delivery, and you'll be our sole PCB Layout Engineer - owning the physical design of the electronics that get our aircraft flying and keep them safe.
  • At DoorDash, our mission to empower local economies shapes how our team members move quickly, learn, and reiterate in order to make impactful decisions that display empathy for our range of users-from Dashers to merchant partners to consumers.
  • DoorDash is growing rapidly and changing constantly, which gives our team members the opportunity to share their unique perspectives, solve new challenges, and own their careers.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field, or equivalent hands-on PCB layout experience.
  • 8+ years of hands-on PCB layout experience, with a portfolio of complex, shipped multi-layer boards.
  • Expert-level proficiency in Altium Designer.
  • Experience with mixed-signal layout spanning power, RF, and high-speed digital domains.
  • Working knowledge of DFM/DFA and IPC standards (e.g., IPC-2221/2222, IPC-A-600/610).
  • Excellent cross-functional collaboration skills and the ability to work independently as the sole layout owner.

Nice to have

  • Experience with drone/UAV, aerospace, robotics, or EV (flight or motion) hardware.
  • RF and antenna layout (GPS, 2.4/5 GHz, cellular/telemetry) with controlled impedance.
  • Experience standing up layout processes and standards in an early-stage hardware organization.
  • Ranges are market-dependent and may be modified in the future.
  • Talk to your recruiter for more information.
  • DoorDash cares about you and your overall well-being.
  • about 3.4 hours/month if working 20 hours/week), and paid sick time accrued at 1 hour for every 30 hours worked (e.g. about 5.8 hours/month if working 40 hours/week
  • about 2.9 hours/month if working 20 hours/week).
