PCB Layout Engineer III

YOUR MISSION

True Anomaly is seeking a skilled and motivated PCB Layout Engineer III to join our electrical engineering team. In this role, you will work closely with electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to deliver robust, high-performance PCBAs for advanced spacecraft applications. You will contribute across the board design lifecycle — from schematic review through part placement, layout, design for manufacturability, and release to manufacturing — with growing ownership of increasingly complex designs. You bring solid hands-on layout experience and a drive to develop your skills in a fast-paced, mission-critical environment.

RESPONSIBILITIES

- Design and lay out multi-layer PCBs from 2-32 layers across varying levels of complexity and density - Read, interpret, and understand electrical PCB schematics to inform layout decisions - Complete layout of digital and analog circuits, including power converters and mixed-signal designs - Generate PCB fabrication and assembly documentation including drawings, Gerbers, and BOMs - Set up and manage PCB layer stack-ups and design rules to meet electrical, thermal, and mechanical requirements - Perform design rule checks (DRC) and electrical rules checks (ERC) to ensure layouts meet all physical and electrical requirements - Support design for manufacturing (DFM) reviews with manufacturing partners - Collaborate with electrical and mechanical engineering teams to ensure board layouts meet all requirements and integrate into system architecture - Assist with component creation, including electrical parameters and mechanical information - Assist with shared component library and lifecycle management for existing and new components - Help improve and document PCB design and procurement processes

QUALIFICATIONS

- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or related field - 3-5 years of professional experience in PCB design and layout - Proficiency with Altium Designer - Experience managing shared component libraries with revision control - Solid understanding of electronics principles, component functions, and PCB design rules - Demonstrated ability to work independently, own projects, and drive them to completion - Excellent written and verbal communication skills

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

- Knowledge of relevant IPC specifications and their implementation in PCB layout - Experience with high-speed digital and RF layout techniques - Experience with power electronics layout - Familiarity with EMI/EMC considerations and thermal management layout techniques - Knowledge of commonly used PCB materials and their typical applications - Experience working with configuration management tools for production hardware - Experience working in a fast-paced, startup environment or a similarly dynamic setting

COMPENSATION

- Base Salary: DEN: $110,000 - $155,000 | LB: $115,000 - $160,000 - Equity + Benefits including Health, Dental, Vision, HRA/HSA options, PTO and paid holidays, 401K, Parental Leave

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

- Work Location—Successful candidates will be located near Denver or Long Beach locations. While we observe a hybrid work environment, most work must be done on site. - Work environment—the work environment; temperature, noise level, inside or outside, or other factors that will affect the person's working conditions while performing the job. - Physical demands—the physical demands of the job, including bending, sitting, lifting and driving.
