TL;DR · Senior Specialist PCB Designer

The Senior Specialist PCB Designer joins the engineering team to design and create printed circuit board layouts for circuit card assemblies. This role involves placing components within specific size envelopes, routing metal traces, and ensuring all electrical and physical specifications meet design requirements. The designer will develop drawings and documentation to facilitate fabrication and assembly, rework designs based on engineering changes, and create component ECAD library footprints or schematic symbols. Key technical requirements include proficiency in ECAD software applications, specifically Siemens Xpedition, and knowledge of electrical schematics and PCB layout techniques. Candidates should understand industry standards such as IPC and ASME/ANSI for documentation. The work focuses on solving manufacturing and assembly challenges to ensure that complex circuit card assemblies meet rigorous design and production specifications.

What you'll do

  • Design and create PCB layouts for circuit card assemblies based on engineering inputs.
  • Place components and route metal traces within specified size envelopes and electrical requirements.
  • Ensure all designs meet specific manufacturing and assembly requirements.
  • Develop and generate drawings and documentation to facilitate PCB fabrication and assembly.
  • Rework PCB designs to accommodate engineering design changes and provide technical solutions.
  • Update drawings and documentation according to engineering change requests.
  • Create component ECAD library footprints and schematic symbols for design projects.

What we're looking for

  • Must have a Bachelor's degree and at least 6 years of relevant experience.
  • Must have a graduate degree and at least 4 years of related experience.
  • Must have at least 10 years of related experience in lieu of a degree.
  • Must be a U.S. citizen to obtain a required security clearance.
  • Multiple years of experience in PCB design or an equivalent combination of education and training (preferred).
  • An associate degree in Electrical Engineering Technology or an IPC CID certification (preferred).
  • A bachelor’s or master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering (preferred).
  • Competent skills in ECAD software, Siemens Xpedition, and knowledge of IPC and ASME/ANSI standards (preferred).
