Senior Electrical Engineer – PCB Design

Job Description:

• Own the end-to-end PCB layout process for digital, analog, RF, mixed-signal, high-speed, and high-power designs using Altium Designer
• Translate electrical schematics, mechanical constraints, and system-level requirements into compact, high-density, manufacturable PCB layouts
• Create and maintain PCB footprints, symbols, and component libraries within Altium Designer
• Define stack-ups and impedance control for high-speed differential pairs, RF transmission lines, and DDR4/DDR5 interfaces
• Develop routing strategies for high-speed serial links, RF paths, and DDR4/DDR5 buses, including length matching, skew control, via strategies, and crosstalk mitigation
• Optimize layouts for thermal performance and current handling in high-power designs
• Collaborate with electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, manufacturing partners, and program teams
• Conduct design reviews and incorporate feedback to meet signal integrity, power integrity, RF performance, reliability, and regulatory requirements
• Generate fabrication and assembly documentation, including Gerber/ODB++ files, drawings, and build packages
• Work within configuration-controlled environments and follow documentation, revision-control, and release processes
• Support prototype builds, troubleshooting, and iterative design improvements, including debugging high-speed/DDR interfaces and high-power thermal or layout issues

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree and 6+ years of related experience OR 4+ years of related experience with a graduate degree; 10+ years of related experience can be considered in lieu of a degree
• Professional PCB design experience in a production environment
• Expert-level proficiency with Altium Designer as the primary PCB CAD tool
• Experience designing complex, multi-layer boards, including high-power PCBs in small form factors, high-speed digital interfaces, RF/mixed-signal sections, and controlled-impedance routing
• Hands-on experience with DDR4 and/or DDR5 memory layout, including routing topologies, length matching, skew control, and reference plane management
• Working knowledge of DFM/DFT, PCB fabrication processes, and assembly constraints, including high-current routing, creepage/clearance, and thermal management for high-power designs
• Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate across engineering disciplines
• Experience with other high-end PCB tools is a plus
• Knowledge of signal integrity and power integrity principles for high-speed digital and RF designs
• Experience using SI/PI and RF simulation tools such as HyperLynx, SIwave, ADS, Altium simulation features, or equivalent
• Experience implementing EMI/EMC best practices
• Experience with IPC standards, including IPC-2221 and IPC-7351
• Familiarity with MIL-STD, DO-254, or other aerospace/defense design standards
• Experience with PLM systems and configuration-controlled workflows
• Ability to mentor junior designers or guide best practices across teams
• Experience in aerospace, defense, or other controlled industries is strongly preferred
