TL;DR · Senior Electrical Engineer, PCBA Designer

As a Senior Electrical Engineer- PCBA Designer, you will join the electronics design team to develop, integrate, and qualify complex Printed Circuit Board Assemblies for electronic control systems. You will define board-level architectures for FPGA, processor, memory, and sensor-interface functions while developing schematics and selecting components to meet reliability and EMC requirements. Your daily work involves defining electrical constraints for signal integrity, power integrity, and thermal performance, as well as performing board bring-up, debugging, and root-cause analysis. You will utilize tools such as LTspice, Xpedition, and Altium Designer to simulate and design high-speed interfaces including PCIe, Ethernet, and DDR. This role solves critical hardware challenges in demanding semiconductor manufacturing environments, ensuring robust operation for next-generation lithography platform needs through multidisciplinary collaboration and rigorous hardware qualification methods.

What you'll do

  • Design and develop complex active PCBAs for electronic control systems.
  • Define board-level architectures for FPGA, processor, memory, communication, and sensor-interface functions.
  • Develop and maintain schematics using approved design tools and methodologies.
  • Select and qualify components to meet functionality, reliability, EMC, and manufacturability requirements.
  • Define electrical constraints for signal integrity, power integrity, EMC, grounding, shielding, and thermal performance.
  • Support PCB layout reviews and guide high-speed implementation decisions.
  • Perform board bring-up, verification, debugging, and root-cause analysis.
  • Support EOL redesign, PFAS replacement, and component-obsolescence mitigation activities.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • Minimum of 10 years of industry experience in electronic hardware development.
  • Minimum of 7 years of experience designing complex active PCBAs for industrial, semiconductor, aerospace, medical, or automotive applications.
  • Demonstrated experience with FPGA, processor, memory, and high-speed communication interfaces.
  • Demonstrated experience using LTspice or comparable SPICE-based simulation tools to analyze and validate analog, mixed-signal, and power-electronics circuits.
  • Validating simulations of high-speed board design and verifying quality in the lab using iBert and other eye pattern test tools.
  • Proven track record for successful SoC power distribution, clocking, and high-speed board design.
  • Legal authorization to access controlled technology as defined by United States Export Administration Regulations.
