About Fluidstack
We exist to make humanity more free. For most of human history, you farmed or you starved. Technology gave people more time for the things they wanted to do, instead of things they had to do. Powerful AI will be the biggest lever for human choice we've ever built - but only if models are aligned with what humanity actually wants. There are groups building AI who don't share these goals. Whoever deploys frontier compute infrastructure fastest will decide whether AI expands human freedom or shrinks it.
We're singularly focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else, rethinking every layer of the stack. We acquire power, design and build data centers, and operate them - with teams spanning hardware and software. Speed and scale are our key differentiators. Come be a part of building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI.
We hire people who care deeply about this problem space. If that is you, please apply!
How We Operate
Be a barrel. Full autonomy. Own things end to end, take on scope without being asked, no permission required to operate outside your core role.
Insane urgency. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.
Reason from first principles. Challenge every assumption. Zero analogy thinking, no egos, the best idea wins.
Love of the game. The frontier of AI is the most interesting problem of our time. We put in long hours at high intensity to push the frontier forward.
Build something that actually matters. If you're going to spend your time, spend it on something that matters to the world.
The Product Engineering Team
Product Engineering builds the power and cooling systems that let Fluidstack deliver gigawatt-scale AI data centers faster and denser than the grid-standard supply chain allows. The SST group is designing solid-state transformers as a core building block of that power architecture.
Examples of key problems the team is working on
Architect a medium-voltage solid-state transformer that can be manufactured, serviced, and scaled across gigawatt-scale campuses, not just demonstrated in a lab.
Define the interface between the SST and the MVDC distribution system, including protection, control boundaries, and fault behavior.
Build a semiconductor and magnetics supply strategy that survives a thin 10kV SiC market over a multi-year horizon.
Take converter hardware from topology selection through working prototypes on a schedule that data center construction actually depends on.
Role Scope
Design the power stage and gate-driver boards for every SST cell: SiC half-bridge modules, isolated gate drivers, auxiliary power, and current and voltage sensing.
Lay out boards for fast-switching SiC with low-inductance commutation loops and creepage and clearance that hold at tens of kilovolts to ground.
Design isolated auxiliary power and signal links for boards that float at high voltage inside a series stack of cells.
Bring up boards on the bench with the technicians and test engineer, and close design spins from prototype cells to pilot units.
Hand off manufacturing-ready packages (fabrication and assembly data, test points, fixtures) to contract manufacturers.
What We're Looking For
The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.
You've designed and brought up gate-driver and power-stage boards for SiC or GaN converters at hundreds of volts and above.
You've laid out boards that switch at high dv/dt without false triggering, and can show the loop inductance you designed for.
You've designed isolated power supplies or signal isolation for circuits floating at high voltage.
You've met creepage and clearance requirements on a high-voltage board and passed a hipot test with it.
You've taken a board from schematic to a contract manufacturer and fixed what failed at first article.
Bonus: PCB design tools (Altium, Cadence). Interconnect design certification (IPC CID, CID+). Power conversion board standards (IPC-2221, IPC-2152, IPC-9592). Sensing for power electronics (Rogowski coils, isolated amplifiers). Laminated busbar design.
We are committed to pay equity and transparency.

Who's Hiring
Top Industries Hiring
- Manufacturing
- Aerospace & Defense
- Technology & Software
- Electronics & Hardware
What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in PCB design engineer jobs.
- Proficiency in at least one EDA tool such as Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, or OrCAD
- Experience designing multi-layer PCBs with controlled impedance and high-speed signal routing
- Knowledge of IPC standards including IPC-2221, IPC-7351, and IPC-6012
- Familiarity with DFM and DFT principles for manufacturability and test coverage
- Understanding of signal integrity, power integrity, and EMC/EMI design practices
- Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, electronics engineering, or a closely related field
Tips for Your PCB Design Engineer Job Search
Tailor your resume to EDA tools
List every EDA tool you've used, Cadence Allegro, Altium Designer, KiCad, OrCAD, and note your proficiency level for each. Hiring managers filter resumes for specific tool names before reading anything else, so generic mentions of 'PCB software' won't get you through.
Showcase layer count and design complexity
Recruiters and engineers scan for concrete specs: how many layers, what trace widths, what frequencies. Add a brief project table to your resume listing stack-up complexity, controlled-impedance requirements, and any high-density interconnect work you've completed.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists pcb design engineer openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Filter openings by design domain
RF, power electronics, high-speed digital, and medical device boards each require different skills and certifications. Narrow your search to your strongest domain first so your application materials are directly relevant, then expand outward once those roles are covered.
Prepare for a design review exercise
Many pcb design engineer interviews include a whiteboard or take-home exercise where you review a flawed layout and identify DFM violations, signal integrity issues, or clearance errors. Practice walking through a real Gerber file or schematic before your interview so the format isn't a surprise.
Negotiate using IPC certification and tool licenses
If you hold IPC-2221 or IPC-7351 credentials, or if you're proficient in a tool the employer already uses, name them explicitly in salary discussions. These reduce onboarding costs and are legitimate levers for a higher starting offer.
PCB Design Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most pcb design engineers?
HCLTech, Anduril, and NVIDIA are hiring the most pcb design engineers right now, with openings concentrated in California, Washington, and Texas, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Aerospace, defense contractors, and medical device manufacturers account for a large share of active postings.
How many pcb design engineer jobs are remote?
About 43% of pcb design engineer openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, though the role skews more on-site than many engineering disciplines. Sub-areas such as design review, documentation, and schematic capture are most compatible with remote work, while hands-on prototyping and lab validation typically require an in-person presence.
How do you become a pcb design engineer?
Most pcb design engineers start with a bachelor's degree in electrical or electronics engineering, then build hands-on experience with at least one professional EDA tool. Completing personal or academic projects with multi-layer boards, earning an IPC certification, and contributing to open-source hardware designs are practical ways to build a portfolio before landing a first professional role.
How do you get hired as a pcb design engineer with little experience?
Start by building a portfolio of real board designs, even small personal projects, using a professional-grade tool like Altium Designer or KiCad. Highlight any coursework involving schematic capture or layout, document your design decisions clearly, and target roles at contract manufacturers or EMS companies, which often hire junior designers and provide structured on-the-job training.
What does the pcb design engineer interview process look like?
A typical process includes an initial recruiter screen, a technical phone interview covering signal integrity fundamentals and design tool experience, and a final round with the engineering team that often includes a layout review exercise or take-home design challenge. Some employers also test knowledge of IPC standards, DFM principles, and how you handle design rule violations before offering the role.
