Description

  • Create PCB layouts in Altium for high-speed, low-speed, mixed-signal, power, and embedded electronics.
  • Partner with electrical engineers to translate schematic intent, critical nets, placement priorities, routing constraints, and design risks into layout.
  • Work with mechanical engineers on board outlines, keepouts, mounting features, connector placement, enclosure constraints, cable routing, thermal requirements, and 3D fit checks.
  • Define and apply layout rules for controlled impedance, differential pairs, length matching, spacing, creepage and clearance, via structures, return paths, and power distribution.
  • Place components and route boards with attention to signal integrity, power integrity, EMI/EMC, thermal behavior, manufacturability, testability, and serviceability.
  • Collaborate on stack-up definition, material selection, layer planning, impedance targets, HDI tradeoffs, and fabrication constraints.
  • Run design-rule checks and drive closure of placement, routing, manufacturability, and assembly issues before release.
  • Generate fabrication and assembly outputs, including Gerbers or ODB++, drill files, drawings, pick-and-place files, assembly notes, and documentation packages.
  • Support design reviews with electrical, mechanical, firmware, manufacturing, supply-chain, and quality teams.
  • Work with PCB fabricators and contract manufacturers to resolve DFM, DFA, panelization, impedance, tolerance, assembly, and yield issues.
  • Maintain clean design data, revision history, layout documentation, and release packages for prototype builds and production handoff.
  • Help improve layout standards, design checklists, Altium templates, library feedback loops, and repeatable release workflows.

Requirements

  • Experience designing PCB layouts for production hardware using Altium Designer.
  • Strong understanding of PCB placement, routing, stack-ups, vias, controlled impedance, differential pairs, length tuning, grounding, shielding, and return-current paths.
  • Experience with both high-speed and low-speed board design, including digital, analog, power, sensors, connectors, and embedded-control circuits.
  • Ability to read schematics, datasheets, reference designs, mechanical drawings, fabrication notes, and assembly requirements.
  • Working knowledge of PCB fabrication and assembly processes, including DFM, DFA, DFT, solder-mask and paste design, drill constraints, copper balance, panelization, and common manufacturing defects.
  • Familiarity with IPC design and acceptability standards such as IPC-2221, IPC-7351, IPC-A-600, or IPC-A-610.
  • Experience collaborating with mechanical engineering through ECAD-MCAD workflows, 3D models, enclosure constraints, and board-fit reviews.
  • Ability to communicate layout tradeoffs clearly with electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, vendors, and manufacturing partners.
  • Strong attention to detail and the judgment to distinguish cosmetic, manufacturability-related, and electrically risky layout issues.
  • Comfort working independently in a remote environment while keeping design status, risks, and blockers visible.
  • Experience with aerospace, robotics, automotive, medical-device, industrial, or other high-reliability hardware.
  • Experience with RF layout, antennas, switching power supplies, motor-control electronics, dense BGAs, HDI, rigid-flex, or flex circuits.
  • Experience using simulation, analysis, or review tools for signal integrity, power integrity, thermal behavior, or manufacturability.
  • IPC CID or CID+ certification, or equivalent demonstrated PCB design expertise.
  • Experience supporting bring-up, prototype builds, failure analysis, or production ramp with remote or distributed teams.
