Sr. PCB Designer (Starship) joins the Starship team to design layouts for in-house boards, including radio phased arrays and power converters. This role involves determining layer stack-ups, performing component placement, and executing signal routing for digital, analog, RF, and power conversion systems. The designer will manage multilayer layouts exceeding 20 layers, conduct SI/PI simulations to mitigate crosstalk and EMI issues, and produce fabrication deliverables like Gerber and ODB++ files. Key technical requirements include proficiency in Altium Designer or Mentor Xpedition, experience with high-speed routing, and the ability to use Python for automating library tasks. The role requires expertise in DFM analysis, 3D modeling, and managing component libraries. This position addresses complex hardware challenges for advanced electronics used in orbital flight and space travel systems.
