TL;DR · Staff PCB Design Engineer

As a Staff PCB Design Engineer, you will work directly with engineers to produce high-reliability, highly manufacturable printed circuit board designs for various products. You will be responsible for implementing complex combinations of high-speed digital, precision analog, RF, and high-power designs while leading the team in establishing internal guidelines for DFM, DFA, and quality fabrication. Your daily work involves developing team processes for PCB design, part creation, and library management while coordinating with external resources during surges. You will utilize Altium Designer CAD tools to manage high-density, multi-layer digital designs, power electronics, flex circuits, and RF circuits featuring controlled impedance routing like USB, PCIe, Ethernet, SERDES, and DDR memory. The role requires expertise in IPC standards, CID certification, and managing complex fabrication processes for advanced hardware components within a fast-paced production environment.

What you'll do

  • Produce printed circuit board designs in collaboration with engineering teams.
  • Create high-reliability, manufacturable assemblies using modern design standards and guidelines.
  • Implement complex designs involving high-speed digital, precision analog, RF, and high-power components.
  • Establish internal guidelines for DFM, DFA, and overall quality fabrication and assembly outputs.
  • Develop and refine team processes for PCB design, part creation, and library management.
  • Coordinate external PCB design resources during periods of high demand or project surges.
  • Manage communication with fabricators and assembly houses to ensure products meet specifications.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or similar and 7+ years of professional experience in PCB design.
  • Ability to read and interpret schematics while applying best practices for each design.
  • Expertise in IPC standards, CID, and CID+ certification.
  • Expertise in PCB fabrication processes, limitations, design rules, and best practices.
  • Experience using Altium Designer CAD tools (Allegro is a plus).
  • Experience with high-density/high-layer count digital designs, power electronics, flex circuits, and RF circuits.
  • Experience with HDI, thick boards, and high-speed digital interfaces like USB, PCIe, Ethernet, SERDES, and DDR memory.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
