Staff PCB Designer

About the role

TTM Technologies, Inc. is a leading global manufacturer of technology products, including mission systems, radio frequency (“RF”) components, RF microwave/microelectronic assemblies, and technologically advanced printed circuit boards (“PCB”s).

TTM is an advanced-technology leader in highly sophisticated surveillance, communications, analysis and integration solutions. Our systems are deployed across a wide range of land, sea and air applications, providing our aerospace, defense and commercial customers with a distinct tactical advantage.

Responsibilities

• Design moderate to complex printed circuit board (PCB) layouts in the domain of Digital, Analog, Power & RF interconnect applications.
• Support changes to existing schematic diagrams using TTM suite of tools: OrCAD and/or DxDesigner.
• Place and route components ensuring that all electrical and physical specifications meet the detailed design requirements for each PCB design.
• Utilize Siemens Xpedition/PAD’s and/or Cadence Allegro required for PCB design.
• Participate in design reviews, interface with electrical, mechanical, manufacturing and process engineers to design prototype and production printed circuit boards in accordance with TTM standards and quality procedures.
• Collaborate on assigned projects closely with Signal Integrity or various engineering disciplines, fellow designers and Program Leadership.
• Create fabrication and assembly drawings (AutoCAD 2023), parts list & incorporate changes to existing design documentation.
• Create and maintain component libraries.
• Generate all output files (ODB++, Bill of Materials & PCB/CCA documentation) required for the manufacture of the board and assembly.
• Maintain change (PCN) responsibilities on re-design and documentation updates.
• Exceedingly experienced with High-Speed PCB Design Constraints: Differential Pairs, Routing Topologies, Controlled Impedance, Length-matched Traces and Delay Tuning.
• Demonstrated experience with RF PCB routing complexities. Implement layout rules for RF transmission lines (Micro-strip & Coplanar Waveguide), signal line isolation practices, via fencing & unique RF routing structures.
• Audio (Analog & Digital separation) PCB best practice layout guidelines highly recommended.
• Direct design experience related to multi-layer CCA and Flex PCB technologies.
• Current knowledge of μ-via/HDI layout methodologies and best practices.
• Understanding of stack-up materials/construction along with impedance modeling requirements.

Requirements

Must have a background that would permit the U.S. Department of Defense to issue a Secret clearance when necessary for work on a project that requires such a clearance.

Qualifications

• Education: Minimum Associates in Electrical Design/Drafting or BS in Electronic Technology. Related eCAD training certification/career experience will be considered in lieu of a degreed program with 10 year experience.
• Experience: Minimum of 10 years’ experience with primary hands-on demonstrated proficiency of Siemens PAD’s (VX2.8 or later), Siemen’s Xpedition (VX2.14 or later) and/or Cadence Allegro/OrCAD (17.4 or later) product experience is required.
• Comprehensive understanding of electrical and mechanical engineering design practices related to printed circuit board electrical drafting and fabrication drawing creation experience is essential.
• Necessary familiarities with electrical design utilizing IPC standards, IAW IPC-2221/3 and associated specs is critical.
• Knowledge and methodology utilizing standard IPC Class III approach to design and manufacturing concerns is also necessary.
• BS or related degree in engineering or a related discipline.
• Related PCB design for the Aerospace and Defense sectors is preferred.
• CID/CID++ Certification for PCB Designers highly recognized as professional validation of design, documentation, and manufacturability skills within the industry.
• Solid oral communication and interfacing skills with technical and manufacturing personnel to resolve engineering tasks.
• Propose alternatives when faced with challenging PCB design situations including resolutions to non-standard problems.
• Appropriate understanding of vendor component data sheets for creation of schematic library and/or PCB footprints expected.
