TL;DR · Senior PCB Engineer
As a Senior PCB Engineer, you will join the team as a Material Science Subject Matter Expert to provide expert guidance and support to engineering teams and suppliers. You will lead the research, development, and implementation of high-volume manufacturing for high layer count PCBs while owning technology and material roadmaps based on next-generation product needs. Your daily work involves developing new interconnect structures, optimizing stack-ups for reliability and cost-avoidance, and managing relationships with manufacturers and laminate suppliers. You will address signal integrity challenges for high-speed designs exceeding 25 Gbps. The role requires expertise in HDI technologies, fabrication processes, and specific materials like PTFE or Transient Liquid Phase Sintering. Required skills include a background in chemistry or materials engineering, deep knowledge of the raw material sourcing ecosystem, and experience with OEM system-level PCB and backplane designs.
