About Us DoorDash Labs, established in 2018, serves as the innovation hub for DoorDash, focusing on developing automation and robotics solutions to enhance last-mile logistics. The team's mission is to create technologies that support and augment human networks, aiming to improve efficiency for Dashers, merchants, and consumers alike. We’re ruthlessly focused on business impact. We are a highly senior team composed of former pioneers from a variety of different robotics industries. As of 2025, DoorDash has completed 10B lifetime deliveries. We’re focused on how to do the next 10B even better. About The Team 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. You'll take boards from schematic handoff through fabrication, assembly, and bring-up, turning complex mixed-signal designs into manufacturable, flight-ready hardware About The Role This is a high-ownership role on a small, highly senior team. You'll be the layout expert the hardware team relies on, partnering daily with electrical, mechanical, power, reliability, and manufacturing engineers. If you love owning the entire layout problem end-to-end — power, RF, and high-speed digital on the same dense board — and want your work flying on real aircraft delivering to real customers, we'd love to talk. Key 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. • Apply EMI/EMC-aware layout and grounding strategies to meet reliability and regulatory requirements. • Create and maintain footprint/component libraries and establish layout standards for a fast-growing hardware program. • Partner closely with EE, mechanical, power, reliability, and manufacturing teams, and support board bring-up, debug, and rework. Required Qualifications • 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. • Proven ability to own board layout end-to-end, from placement and routing through fabrication and assembly release. • Strong command of signal integrity, power integrity, and controlled-impedance design (return paths, decoupling, stackup, and plane design). • 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. Preferred Qualifications • Experience with drone/UAV, aerospace, robotics, or EV (flight or motion) hardware. • Rigid-flex and flex PCB layout for weight- and space-constrained designs. • RF and antenna layout (GPS, 2.4/5 GHz, cellular/telemetry) with controlled impedance. • High-current power, ESC, or motor-drive layout experience. • ECAD↔MCAD co-design (Altium with SolidWorks or Creo). • High-reliability or harsh-environment design (vibration, thermal cycling). • Experience standing up layout processes and standards in an early-stage hardware organization.
