TL;DR · Specialist, PCB Design

The Specialist, PCB Design will join the engineering team to support the design and release of rigid, rigid-flex, and multilayer PCBs. The role involves creating printed circuit board layouts based on electrical engineering schematics while ensuring accurate, manufacturable designs that meet performance and cost objectives. Key responsibilities include developing fabrication and assembly documentation, performing design rule checks, and managing constraints for digital, power, analog, radio-frequency, and mixed-signal designs. The position requires proficiency in Siemens Xpedition Layout and understanding of IPC standards. Candidates should possess skills in high-speed digital design, controlled-impedance routing, and three-dimensional mechanical integration. The work focuses on solving technical challenges related to signal-integrity, electromagnetic-compatibility, and Design for Manufacturability (DFM) principles to ensure reliable integration within system enclosures and assemblies.

What you'll do

  • Create printed circuit board layouts for rigid, rigid-flex, and multilayer PCBs using Siemens Xpedition Layout.
  • Interpret electrical engineering schematics and engineering documentation to develop accurate PCB designs.
  • Develop and maintain detailed fabrication and assembly documentation, including drawings, stackups, and design notes.
  • Perform design rule checks and manage constraints to improve design robustness and reduce production risk.
  • Support component placement and routing strategies for digital, power, analog, radio-frequency, and mixed-signal designs.
  • Coordinate with mechanical engineering teams to ensure proper PCB integration within system enclosures and assemblies.
  • Apply signal-integrity and fabrication requirements to produce manufacturable layouts that meet performance and cost objectives.

What we're looking for

  • Must have a Bachelor's Degree and minimum 4 years of prior relevant experience.
  • Must have a Graduate Degree and a minimum of 2 years of prior related experience.
  • Must have a minimum of 8 years of prior related experience in lieu of a degree.
  • Must be a U.S. citizen to be eligible for a security clearance.
  • Must be able to create PCB layouts using Siemens Xpedition Layout.
  • Must be able to interpret electrical schematics and understand IPC industry standards.
  • Experience with Siemens EDM, Valor NPI, BluePrint PCB, or Cadence Allegro (preferred).
  • Experience with high-speed digital, RF, mixed-signal, DFM, DFT, or IPC CID/CID+ certification (preferred).
