Senior Design Engineer

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in South Carolina.

📋 Description

• Take ownership of ECAD design execution for the designated scope, ensuring planning, coordination, and delivery align with program schedules and engineering specifications.

• Execute hands-on ECAD design and layout for intricate printed circuit card assemblies, including multilayer rigid, flex, and high-density interconnect (HDI) designs.

• Assist in schematic capture and layout implementation while managing electrical and physical constraints (high-speed, high-voltage, high-current).

• Relay design status, technical risks, and schedule implications to engineering stakeholders and program teams.

• Engage in and contribute to cross-functional design reviews involving Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, and Configuration Management.

• Create and maintain comprehensive ECAD documentation packages, including fabrication, assembly, and design documentation.

• Oversee ECAD data within PLM systems and ensure adherence to configuration management standards.

• Apply DFM (Design for Manufacturability), DFA (Design for Assembly), and DFT (Design for Test) principles throughout the layout process.

• Diagnose complex design challenges and resolve electrical, mechanical, and manufacturability issues in collaboration with cross-functional teams.

• Offer technical direction and informal mentorship to junior designers while fostering knowledge sharing across the ECAD team.

• Promote compliance with ECAD standards, library usage, and best practices throughout various programs.

• Coordinate ECAD activities for smaller projects or defined work scopes.

• Experience in designing multilayer PCB layouts and supporting complex electrical designs.

• Skilled in managing electrical and physical constraints within PCB design tools.

• Familiarity with Siemens Xpedition (VX or 2504 versions) for advanced PCB layout design is preferred.

• Knowledge of advanced PCB technologies (HDI, microvias, stacked microvias, flex circuits, backplanes).

• Experience with DDR4 / DDR5 and considerations for high-speed design.

• Understanding of signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) principles.

• Familiar with DFM/DFA/DFT implementation in PCB design.

• Acquainted with ECAD–MCAD data exchange processes.

• Experience working within PLM and configuration management systems.

• IPC CID / CID+ or PCEA certification is preferred.

• Background in aerospace, defense, or other highly regulated sectors.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate across cross-functional engineering teams.
