Printed Circuit Board Designer

Job description:

The Printed Circuit Board Designer creates moderate to highly complex PCB layouts using inputs from the electronic schematic designers and other members of engineering.
The PCB Designer plays a critical role in the development of designs for new or modified high-density printed circuit boards and assists in the design and development of moderately complex and detailed layouts of printed circuit boards.

Job Description:

Duties/Responsibilities Assists electrical engineers with the design and layout of electronic hardware, primarily printed circuit boards (PCBs), and is able to interpret and understand all basic design requirements. Implements moderate to highly complex PCB designs. Interprets and understands electrical and mechanical design requirements. Works independently with moderate to minimal oversight from senior technical personnel. Demonstrates knowledge of industry best practices for schematic capture and PCB designs. Experience with rigid, flex and rigid-flex design and design requirements. Familiarity with industry and military standards related to the design of printed circuit boards. Demonstrates proficiency when using design tools. Demonstrates proficiency in the implementation of design techniques such as differential pairs, length matching, impedance control, blind & buried vias, and break out of high density, fine pitch components. Demonstrates proficiency with electrical constraint definition including power distribution, controlled impedance (single end and differential pair), length matching, timing and other electrical constraints. Demonstrates knowledge of design considerations affecting signal integrity performance. Demonstrates proficiency with mechanical constraint definition including height restrictions, keep out areas, slots and cut outs, and other mechanical constraints. Collaborates with Design for Manufacturing engineers to define and implement fabrication criteria ensuring manufacturability. Familiarity with design requirements affecting manufacturability. Familiarity with design requirements necessary to meet specific IPC classes. Demonstrates ability to efficiently execute project tasks and drive a layout to completion. Regularly works with multiple senior technical staff members on design projects. Effectively communicates project status and issues to management and members of the project team in oral or written form as requested for the project. Accept inputs from multiple members of the project team and acts on them appropriately. Identifies design issues and brings these issues to the attention of project team. Requests management assistance when conflicting information is provided by team members. Follow established processes and work instructions. Supports generation of design documentation.

Required Qualifications: Demonstrated PCB layout knowledge and skills. Demonstrated ability to collect, organize and capture design details in a fast paced, dynamic environment. Demonstrated ability to support multiple projects, in parallel. Demonstrated good oral and written communication skills. Ability to work onsite

Preferred Qualifications: Formal education in electronics or electrical circuit theory. IPC certification. Experience with Siemens Xpedition Enterprise design flow (Xpedition Designer & Xpedition Layout). Experience with Siemens Xpedition EDM Library and Design. Complementary domain knowledge or experience such as PCB assembly, PCB fabrication, hardware assembly, or hardware test. Working knowledge of AutoCAD (2D), CAM350, Draftsight, or similar. Familiarity with SolidWorks or Creo.
Applicants selected for this position will be required to obtain and maintain a US government security clearance.

This role can also be located at our Clearfield, Utah and St. Petersburg, FL offices.
