About the Team
DoorDash Labs is DoorDash's autonomous delivery group, building the robots and hardware that move goods without a driver. The Hardware team designs the electronics at the core of these systems — digital and mixed-signal control boards, power and motor-control electronics, embedded firmware, and the test and integration benches that prove the whole system works. We're building out an experienced and diverse set of electrical engineers to increase our velocity, bandwidth, and operations.
About the Role
You'll bring PCB layout in-house — a core quality goal — owning floorplanning, stackups, and layout while coordinating closely with mechanical, thermal, and SI/PI engineering to land complete, manufacturable boards. You will report into the Director, Electrical Engineering on our Hardware team in our DoorDash Labs organization. Our offices are open, and depending on the role this position is hybrid or fully onsite — expect to be fully onsite when needed.
You're excited about this opportunity because you will…
- Perform floorplan analysis and create stackups, layout, and footprints
- Work with mechanical engineering to ensure fit and form compatibility with mechanical systems
- Work with thermal engineering to ensure a thermally sound layout
- Work with SI/PI engineering to ensure the board design is complete and robust
- Drive toward consistently high-quality layout
We're excited about you because…
- Strong PCB layout experience across digital and mixed-signal boards
- Familiar with stackup technologies, their limitations and considerations, and cost/lead-time impacts
- Controlled-impedance and high-speed routing know-how; PI/PDN fundamentals
- Proficient in a professional layout tool (Altium, Cadence, or similar)
- Comfortable coordinating with mechanical, thermal, and SI/PI engineering
