  • Apply engineering change orders (ECOs) to PCB layouts and associated documentation.
  • Perform component placement, routing, and design rule implementation with attention to signal integrity, power integrity, and manufacturability.
  • Perform Layout based simulations.
  • Generate fabrication and assembly documentation (Gerbers, drawings, BOMs) to support manufacturing.
  • Support PCB fabrication, assembly, and test by working with internal teams and external vendors to resolve design issues.
  • Adhere to and help maintain PCB design standards and IPC guidelines.

This job might be for you if:

  • Bachelor's degree in engineering discipline, OR equivalent professional experience
  • Experience with CAD tools (such as Allegro, Xpedition, Altium, Solidworks, or similar CAD platforms).
  • Experience creating and managing ECAD libraries (symbols, footprints, and components).
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to collaborate across multidisciplinary teams.
  • Strong attention to detail with the ability to manage multiple designs and deadlines.
  • Value to provide unmatched customer service.
