PCB Designer

Job Requirements

• Create and revise PCB layouts based on schematics, electrical requirements, mechanical constraints, and design-for-manufacturing principles for multi-layer PCBs.
• Partner with electrical and manufacturing teams to support component placement, routing strategy, layer stack-up, and overall board optimization.
• Generate and maintain fabrication files, assembly drawings, bills of materials, and related design documentation for prototype and production builds.
• Support prototype bring-up, testing, and design validation, and incorporate findings into layout revisions and engineering updates.
• Develop, build, and use of test fixtures, test setups, and design-for-test considerations to improve validation and production efficiency.
• Work closely with PCB fabricators, assembly vendors, and component suppliers to address manufacturability, quality, and technical issues.
• Partner with production teams to support new product introduction, pilot builds, engineering changes, and resolution of manufacturing issues.
• Review and improve existing designs for reliability, performance, cost, and ease of manufacture.
• Maintain accurate revision history, change documentation, and technical records throughout the product lifecycle.

Qualifications

• Associate degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, or a related field preferred; equivalent experience will be considered.
• Plus 35 years of experience in PCB design, PCB layout, or electronics product development in a manufacturing or engineering environment.
• Strong ability to read and interpret schematics, mechanical drawings, bills of materials, and engineering documentation.
• Experience with PCB CAD/layout tools and a solid understanding of board layout best practices, design rules, and manufacturability.
• Experience supporting testing, validation, troubleshooting, and design updates through prototype and pre-production phases.
• Familiarity with test fixtures, design-for-test concepts, and production support activities.
• Experience routing mixed signal Printed Circuit Boards (analog and digital).
• Experience designing boards to standards (UL 840 preferred).
• Firm understanding of EMI mitigation and immunity techniques.
• Knowledge of common Communication protocols.
