PCB Designer III

A Day in the Life

• Designs and documents multi-layer, high-density PCBs from schematics and engineering inputs, in compliance with IPC and industry standards.
• Interprets electrical, mechanical, and regulatory requirements into manufacturable board designs, guided by cross-functional engineering teams.
• Generates complete fabrication and assembly packages, including BOMs, Gerber/ODB++ files, pick-and-place data, and fabrication drawings per company standards.
• Develops and maintains ECAD libraries: creates and updates schematic symbols, PCB footprints, and 3D models, ensuring consistency across the Altium Designer library.
• Executes component placement and signal routing for digital, DDR4, RF, and power circuitry, optimizing for electrical performance and design feasibility.
• Determines optimal layer stackups including the use of blind and buried via structures to support high-complexity designs.
• Collaborates on design reviews: works closely with electrical and mechanical engineers to support design reviews, manufacturability assessments, and iterative improvements.
• Supports external manufacturing: provides technical support to resolve layout-related issues with fabrication and assembly partners, ensuring on-time production.
• Drives process improvement: participates in design tool upgrades, workflow optimization, and the evolution of internal design standards and procedures.
• Manages multiple projects: effectively balances multiple PCB design tasks in parallel, ensuring timely delivery within aggressive development schedules.

Qualifications

• Associate’s degree (A.A.) in engineering technology, electronics, or a related field preferred; equivalent technical training and experience will be considered.
