Lays out printed circuit boards from schematic to fabrication files. Demand has risen with India's electronics manufacturing expansion.
PCB designers take a circuit schematic and turn it into a manufacturable board — placement, routing, layer stack-up, signal integrity and fabrication output. India's electronics manufacturing expansion and the shift of design work into the country have made this a growing specialisation. Altium, Cadence Allegro and Mentor tools appear across job descriptions. High-speed and RF boards command a clear premium over general-purpose digital work.

High-speed digital design, signal integrity and RF layout. These are scarce skills with far fewer qualified candidates.
Auto-routers have existed for decades and AI-assisted placement is improving, yet complex boards are still routed by hand because constraints like impedance, EMI and thermal behaviour interact in ways tools handle poorly. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects electronics engineer employment to grow 6.2 percent from 2024 to 2034.
