PCB layout Engineer

Location: Cranberry Township, PA | Duration: 6 Months | Experience: 5 years

About the role

This role is similar to a PCB Layout Engineer with experience in Altium Designer, PCB layouts, stack‑ups, design, fabrication drawings, and assembly drawings.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop multi‑layer PCB layouts for control, power, analog, digital, and mixed‑signal circuits using Altium Designer.
• Create PCB stack‑ups, component placement, and routing while meeting electrical, mechanical, thermal, and manufacturing requirements.
• Apply signal integrity, power integrity, EMI/EMC, creepage, and clearance best practices to ensure robust product performance.
• Generate and maintain PCB design outputs including fabrication drawings, assembly drawings, Gerber/ODB, and other manufacturing deliverables.
• Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, firmware, and manufacturing teams throughout the product development lifecycle.
• Perform design rule checks (DRC), layout reviews, and verification activities to ensure compliance with design standards and IPC requirements.
• Implement Design for Manufacturability (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), and Design for Testability (DFT) principles to improve product quality and production yield.
• Support prototype builds, engineering change requests, and production releases by incorporating layout updates and resolving design issues.
• Maintain PCB component libraries, footprints, and 3D models in accordance with company standards.
• Understand and comply with quality policies, procedures, and design guidelines to ensure product quality and customer satisfaction.
