About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own the end-to-end PCB layout process for digital, analog, RF, mixed-signal, high-speed, and high-power designs using Altium Designer
Translate electrical schematics, mechanical constraints, and system-level requirements into compact, high-density, manufacturable PCB layouts
Create and maintain PCB footprints, symbols, and component libraries within Altium Designer
Define stack-ups and impedance control for high-speed differential pairs, RF transmission lines, and DDR4/DDR5 interfaces
Develop routing strategies for high-speed serial links, RF paths, and DDR4/DDR5 buses, including length matching, skew control, via strategies, and crosstalk mitigation
Optimize layouts for thermal performance and current handling in high-power designs
Collaborate with electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, manufacturing partners, and program teams
Conduct design reviews and incorporate feedback to meet signal integrity, power integrity, RF performance, reliability, and regulatory requirements
Generate fabrication and assembly documentation, including Gerber/ODB++ files, drawings, and build packages
Work within configuration-controlled environments and follow documentation, revision-control, and release processes
Support prototype builds, troubleshooting, and iterative design improvements, including debugging high-speed/DDR interfaces and high-power thermal or layout issues

Requirements

What you’ll need

Bachelor’s degree and 6+ years of related experience OR 4+ years of related experience with a graduate degree; 10+ years of related experience can be considered in lieu of a degree
Professional PCB design experience in a production environment
Expert-level proficiency with Altium Designer as the primary PCB CAD tool
Experience designing complex, multi-layer boards, including high-power PCBs in small form factors, high-speed digital interfaces, RF/mixed-signal sections, and controlled-impedance routing
Hands-on experience with DDR4 and/or DDR5 memory layout, including routing topologies, length matching, skew control, and reference plane management
Working knowledge of DFM/DFT, PCB fabrication processes, and assembly constraints, including high-current routing, creepage/clearance, and thermal management for high-power designs
Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate across engineering disciplines
Experience with other high-end PCB tools is a plus
Knowledge 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
Experience implementing EMI/EMC best practices
Experience with IPC standards, including IPC-2221 and IPC-7351
Familiarity with MIL-STD, DO-254, or other aerospace/defense design standards
Experience with PLM systems and configuration-controlled workflows
Ability to mentor junior designers or guide best practices across teams
Experience in aerospace, defense, or other controlled industries is strongly preferred
