TL;DR · Senior PCB Design Engineer

The Senior PCB Design Engineer joins the engineering team to produce printed circuit board designs for defense technology products. This role involves creating high-reliability, highly manufacturable assemblies by implementing combinations of high-speed digital, precision analog, RF, and high-power designs. The engineer will develop team processes for PCB design, part creation, and library standards while coordinating external resources during design surges. Key technical requirements include expertise in Altium Designer, IPC standards, and CID+ certification. The candidate must handle high-density, high-layer count digital designs, power electronics, flex circuits, and RF circuits. Specific experience with controlled impedance routing for USB, PCIe, Ethernet, SERDES, and DDR memory is required. The work focuses on solving complex hardware challenges for advanced military systems involving autonomy, AI, and sensor fusion.

What you'll do

  • Produce printed circuit board designs in direct coordination with the engineering team.
  • Create high-reliability, highly manufacturable assemblies using modern design standards and guidelines.
  • Implement high-speed digital, precision analog, RF, and high-power designs.
  • Develop and refine team processes for PCB design, part creation, and library standards.
  • Coordinate external PCB design resources during periods of high demand.
  • Manage communication with fabrication and assembly houses to ensure boards meet specifications.
  • Manage multiple concurrent projects and customers in a fast-paced environment.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or similar and 7+ years of professional experience in PCB design.
  • Ability to read and interpret schematics and apply best practices for each design.
  • Expertise in applying relevant IPC standards, CID, and CID+ certification.
  • Expertise in PCB fabrication processes, limitations, design rules, and best practices.
  • Experience using Altium Designer CAD tools (Allegro is a plus).
  • Experience developing component libraries and managing library databases.
  • Experience with high-density, high-layer count, power electronics, flex circuits, and RF circuits.
  • Experience with high-speed digital interfaces like USB, PCIe, Ethernet, SERDES, and DDR memory.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
  • Familiar with RF board design (preferred).
  • Experience with high-pin count packages (FPGA fanout) (preferred).
  • Familiar with basic signal and power integrity rules (preferred).
