Senior Electrical Engineer – PCB Design

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.

📋 Description

• Take charge of the complete PCB layout process for digital, analog, RF, mixed-signal, high-speed, and high-power designs utilizing Altium Designer.

• Convert electrical schematics, mechanical constraints, and system-level requirements into compact, high-density, and manufacturable PCB layouts.

• Design and maintain PCB footprints, symbols, and component libraries within Altium Designer.

• Establish stack-ups and manage impedance control for high-speed differential pairs, RF transmission lines, and DDR4/DDR5 interfaces.

• Formulate routing strategies for high-speed serial links, RF paths, and DDR4/DDR5 buses, encompassing length matching, skew control, via strategies, and crosstalk mitigation.

• Enhance layouts for thermal performance and current handling in high-power designs.

• Collaborate with electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, manufacturing partners, and program teams.

• Perform design reviews and integrate feedback to satisfy signal integrity, power integrity, RF performance, reliability, and regulatory standards.

• Produce fabrication and assembly documentation, including Gerber/ODB++ files, drawings, and build packages.

• Operate within configuration-controlled environments and adhere to documentation, revision-control, and release processes.

• Assist with prototype builds, troubleshooting, and iterative design enhancements, including debugging high-speed/DDR interfaces and addressing high-power thermal or layout challenges.

⛳️ Requirements

• A Bachelor’s degree with 6+ years of relevant experience OR 4+ years of relevant experience paired with a graduate degree; 10+ years of relevant experience may be accepted in place of a degree.

• Professional experience in PCB design within a production environment.

• Advanced proficiency with Altium Designer as the primary PCB CAD tool.

• Experience in designing intricate, multi-layer boards, including high-power PCBs in compact form factors, high-speed digital interfaces, RF/mixed-signal sections, and controlled-impedance routing.

• Practical experience with DDR4 and/or DDR5 memory layout, including routing topologies, length matching, skew control, and reference plane management.

• Familiarity with DFM/DFT, PCB fabrication processes, and assembly constraints, including high-current routing, creepage/clearance, and thermal management for high-power designs.

• Exceptional communication skills and the ability to collaborate across engineering disciplines.

• Experience with other advanced PCB tools is advantageous.

• Understanding of signal integrity and power integrity principles for high-speed digital and RF designs.

• Experience using SI/PI and RF simulation tools such as HyperLynx, SIwave, ADS, Altium simulation features, or equivalent.

• Knowledge of implementing EMI/EMC best practices.

• Familiarity with IPC standards, including IPC-2221 and IPC-7351.

• Awareness of MIL-STD, DO-254, or other aerospace/defense design standards.

• Experience with PLM systems and configuration-controlled workflows.

• Capability to mentor junior designers or guide best practices across teams.

• Experience in aerospace, defense, or other regulated industries is highly preferred.
