TL;DR · Senior PCB Design Engineer, Intelligence Systems

Senior PCB Design Engineer, Intelligence Systems joins the Intelligence Systems team to deliver specialized engineering products for Intelligence Community customers. This role involves full-cycle PCB design, including requirement gathering, schematic design, component selection, layout supervision, bring-up, testing, and system integration. The engineer will develop high-reliability, manufacturable assemblies by implementing complex combinations of high-speed digital, precision analog, RF, and high-power designs while establishing internal DFM and DFA guidelines. Key technical requirements include expertise in Altium Designer, IPC standards, and CID certifications. Candidates must manage high-density, multi-layer boards, flex circuits, and controlled impedance routing for interfaces like USB, PCIe, and Ethernet. The role addresses critical national security requirements by developing hardware for intelligence capabilities, requiring the ability to navigate air-gapped network environments and manage complex power electronics and signal integrity rules in a fast-paced production environment.

What you'll do

  • Execute full-cycle PCB design including requirement gathering, schematic design, component selection, and board bring-up.
  • Design high-reliability, manufacturable layouts for high-speed digital, precision analog, RF, and high-power systems.
  • Establish internal standards for design for manufacturing (DFM) and design for assembly (DFA).
  • Refine team processes for PCB design, part creation, and library/database management.
  • Coordinate external PCB design resources to manage production during peak demand periods.
  • Manage multiple concurrent projects in a fast-paced environment while meeting specific customer requirements.
  • Communicate with fabrication houses to ensure boards are manufactured according to specifications.

What we're looking for

  • Associate degree in electrical engineering or similar and 8-10+ years of professional experience in PCB Layout design.
  • Must possess and be able to maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
  • Expertise in applying relevant IPC standards, CID, and CID+ certification.
  • Experience using Altium Designer CAD tools.
  • Experience with high-density/high-layer count digital designs, power electronics, flex circuits, and RF circuits.
  • Experience with HDI, thick boards (greater than 1.6mm), and high-speed digital interfaces like USB, PCIe, and Ethernet.
  • Experience with component library development and management.
  • Experience with dense high-pin count packages, SoC FPGAs, or Siemens Xpedition/Cadence Allegro tools (preferred).
