TL;DR · Specialist PCB Designer

The Specialist PCB Designer will join the engineering team to design and create printed circuit board layouts for circuit card assemblies. The role involves placing components within specific size envelopes, routing metal traces, and ensuring all electrical and physical specifications meet design requirements. Key responsibilities include developing drawings and documentation for fabrication, performing design reworks based on engineering change requests, and creating component ECAD library footprints or schematic symbols. The position requires proficiency in ECAD software applications, specifically Siemens Xpedition, and knowledge of electrical schematics and PCB layout techniques. Candidates should understand industry standards including IPC and ASME/ANSI for documentation. This role solves technical challenges in PCB fabrication and assembly by translating complex engineering inputs into manufacturable hardware designs for defense technology applications.

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.
  • Develop and generate technical drawings and documentation to facilitate PCB fabrication and assembly.
  • Rework PCB designs to accommodate engineering design changes and provide technical solutions for issues.
  • Update drawings and documentation in accordance with engineering change requests.
  • Create component ECAD library footprints and schematic symbols for design projects.
  • Ensure all designs meet specific manufacturing and assembly requirements.

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 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 obtain a required security clearance.
  • Multiple years of experience in PCB design or an equivalent combination of education, training, and experience (preferred).
  • An associate degree in Electrical Engineering Technology and/or an IPC CID certification is desired (preferred).
  • A bachelor’s and/or master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering is beneficial (preferred).
  • Competent skills with ECAD software, Siemens Xpedition, and knowledge of PCB fabrication and assembly drawings is desired (preferred).
