TL;DR · PCB Design Engineer

As a PCB Design Engineer, you will join a cross-functional team to assist the Electrical Engineering product design team with the layout of high-speed, high-density multi-layer Printed Circuit Boards. Your daily responsibilities include creating CAD layouts, managing libraries for component footprints and schematic symbols, and ensuring signal and trace integrity. You will support thermal and mechanical analysis, assist in diagnosing thermal-related problems, and participate in the qualification, procurement, and fabrication of PCBs. The role requires proficiency in tools such as Siemens DX Designer, Xpedition Enterprise, PTC CREO, and AutoCAD. You must apply knowledge of MIL/IPC standards, including IPC-2221 and IPC-A-610, to solve complex hardware problems. You will also perform component-level troubleshooting and interpret schematics to support test plan development for mission-critical systems.

What you'll do

  • Layout high-speed and high-density multi-layer PCBs to MIL/IPC standards using specialized design tools.
  • Perform thermal and mechanical analysis to ensure hardware reliability under operating requirements.
  • Manage CAD layouts including symbol creation, library management, and component placement.
  • Support the qualification, procurement, and fabrication processes for all in-house designed PCBs.
  • Troubleshoot fielded equipment failures and diagnose issues at the component level.
  • Create technical documentation and drawings for manufacturing and assembly processes.
  • Interpret PCB schematics and layouts to support the development of test plans.

What we're looking for

  • U.S. citizenship is required.
  • Must be able to obtain a Department of Defense Secret security clearance.
  • Bachelor's degree in Reliability, Electrical, Mechanical, Materials Engineering, or a related STEM field.
  • 2+ years of job-related experience, or a Master's degree and 6 months of job-related experience.
  • Knowledge of IPC specifications and standards relevant to PCB manufacturing, assembly, and testing.
  • Experience with Siemens DX Designer and Xpedition Enterprise (preferred).
  • Experience with PTC CREO and AutoCAD design tools.
  • Basic knowledge of PCB materials, manufacturing, and testing methodologies (preferred).
