The position requires performing complex CAD and CAE tasks, maintaining technical coordination with Product Design, Test, EMC Engineering, and Manufacturing departments, and participating in the evolution of Design for Manufacturing guidelines. Candidates must possess at least four years of experience designing flex and rigid boards and demonstrate proficiency in tools such as Allegro, Altium, or Mentor Graphics. The role focuses on solving high-speed design challenges and navigating trade-offs between product design, electrical requirements, and regulatory agency standards to produce high-quality circuit boards.

What you'll do

  • Design complex layouts for rigid and flexible printed circuit boards using CAE and CAD tools.
  • Conduct design feasibility studies regarding packaging, cost, manufacturing, and system performance.
  • Resolve critical PCB design problems and technical issues with fabrication and manufacturing vendors.
  • Develop and define Design for Manufacturing (DFM) guidelines to ensure high-quality production.
  • Coordinate technically with Engineering, Product Design, Test, EMC, and Manufacturing teams.
  • Evaluate and implement industry trends in PCB design and processes for core technologies.
  • Negotiate design trade-offs to meet electrical requirements while minimizing costs and meeting schedules.

What we're looking for

  • At least 4 years of industry experience designing flex and/or rigid boards.
  • Experience with software tools such as Allegro, Altium, or Mentor Graphics.
  • Good understanding of board design constraints and basic knowledge of EE fundamentals.
  • Certification in PCB (preferred).
  • Experience with Allegro Software Tools (preferred).
  • Experience designing high volume circuit boards (preferred).
  • Experience working with fabrication houses (preferred).
