Compensation
$100,000 to $140,000 per year, based on experience and qualifications.

What You'll Do
As a PCB Design Engineer, you will design complex, high density multilayer PCBs (typically 14 to 24 or more layers), owning stack-up construction, via technology (blind, buried, and microvia), and routing strategy using both manual and auto-assisted techniques. You will translate schematics into manufacturable layouts for high speed digital interfaces including DDR4/DDR5, GDDR, PCI Express Gen4/Gen5, Gigabit and high speed Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and SerDes, working closely with electrical, FPGA, mechanical, and signal integrity engineers through design reviews, fabrication documentation, and DFM/DFA/DFT release.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, or related discipline, or equivalent experience

• 2+ years of professional PCB layout experience, with Siemens EDA Xpedition (Layout and DxDesigner) strongly preferred

• Strong background in high speed digital PCB design: DDR4/DDR5, GDDR, PCIe Gen4/5, Gigabit/high speed Ethernet, Fibre Channel, SerDes, controlled impedance and differential pair routing

• Experience with HDI technologies (blind/buried vias, via-in-pad, sequential lamination, microvias) and dense multilayer stack-ups

• Hands on experience with BGA, fine pitch BGA, QFN, high pin count FPGA layouts, and rigid or rigid-flex designs

• Strong understanding of signal integrity, power integrity, DFM, DFA, and DFT principles

• Experience creating fabrication, assembly, and manufacturing documentation

• Must be a U.S. Citizen or Green Card holder (visa sponsorship is not available for this role)

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience migrating designs from Altium, Cadence Allegro, OrCAD, PADS, Zuken, or PCAD into Xpedition

• Experience with RF, analog, mixed signal, and FPGA based PCB layouts

• Experience designing for aerospace, defense, space, radar, or other mission critical applications

• Working knowledge of IPC standards and military specifications

• Experience mentoring PCB designers or establishing design methodologies

• Ability to leverage AI assisted engineering tools while validating engineering accuracy

Compensation and Benefits

• Salary range of $100,000 to $140,000 per year, plus annual performance incentives

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance

• 401(k) retirement plan with company contribution

• Paid time off and paid holidays

• Career development and technical training opportunities
