  • Work closely with business units, tool owners, and other technical support groups in cross-functional teams.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Problem identification and troubleshooting a wide range of complex electrical problems with limited to no supervision.
  • Specify the development of design or modify engineering assemblies, layout/schematics and/or detailed drawings/specifications of complex scope.
  • Interfaces with internal and external customers regarding complex electrical issues for specific projects.
  • Specify and/or perform engineering ECAD design of complex scope.
  • Define, coordinate, perform and generate engineering test reports as required.

Position requirements:

  • Bachelor of Science degree or equivalent desired.
  • Experience with Altium software for PCB/PCBA design with input from mechanical and electrical teams.
  • Create and modify schematics as directed by engineers.
  • Generate library symbols, footprints, and 3D drawings for components.
  • Investigate and implement PCB design trends and processes.
  • Conduct feasibility studies for packaging, cost, and system performance.
  • Perform complex CAD and CAE tasks, ensuring compliance with design standards.
  • Propose design trade-offs for resolution and implementation.
  • Communicate with fabrication vendors and address engineering questions.
  • Prioritize quality design and observe design for test and manufacturability principles.
  • Understand impedance control requirements for electrical and RF circuits.
  • Stay updated on PCB technology trends and apply them to our designs.
  • Collaborate with various teams during the design and fabrication process.
  • Resolve PCB design issues with vendors.
  • Contribute to PCB design specifications and standards for product quality and cost-efficiency.
  • Be creative and innovative. Demonstrate a willingness to explore new options to bridge program challenges or improve processes.
  • A nature of staying focused on solutions and ability to remain positive even under pressure.
  • Ability to establish and maintain positive working relationships with others, foster teamwork and bridge differences to achieve the program goals.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Proficiency in Altium, or Mentor PCB Design software.
  • Familiarity with Mechanical CAD tools (e.g., Siemens NX) is a plus.
  • Strong knowledge of PCB design best practices and standards (e.g., IPC-A-610).
  • Effective verbal and written communication skills.
  • Experience in RF Circuit PCB design is preferred.
  • Experience using Altium PCB Design software.
