Primary Function:
The Senior PCB Design Engineer is responsible for owning and executing complex printed circuit board (PCB) designs for advanced radar products and related hardware.
This position works closely with Analog/Mixed-Signal (AMS), RF, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Engineering teams, as well as external suppliers, to translate schematics, performance requirements, and physical constraints into high-performance, reliable, and manufacturable PCB designs.
The engineer will play a key role throughout the product lifecycle, from initial layout planning and design release through new product introduction (NPI), production, and ongoing product support.
The ideal candidate will bring extensive hands-on PCB design experience, strong technical judgment, and the ability to collaborate effectively across engineering and manufacturing teams.
Essential Job Functions - Responsibilities:
Independently plan and manage assigned PCB designs from schematic review through production release.
Estimate project requirements, establish priorities, identify dependencies and technical risks, and communicate project status.
Translate schematics, electrical requirements, and mechanical constraints into complex multilayer PCB assemblies (PCBAs).
Collaborate with Engineering and PCB fabricators to establish board outlines, stackups, materials, component placement, routing, controlled impedance, via structures, and other physical design requirements.
Apply signal integrity, power integrity, electromagnetic compatibility, thermal management, reliability, and design-for-manufacturability best practices.
Work with Electrical Engineering, Quality, Manufacturing Engineering, and external vendors to optimize designs for cost, quality, and manufacturability.
Support new product introduction (NPI), product revisions, and sustaining engineering changes.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams and suppliers to resolve fabrication, assembly, build, yield, and production issues.
Create, review, and maintain component symbols, footprints, and 3D models within the company-wide component library.
Provide technical guidance and mentorship to less experienced PCB designers.
Improve PCB design methods, standards, engineering tool workflows, and design review and release practices.
Work with RF Engineering and Analog/Mixed-Signal design teams to understand design requirements, key features, and vendor capabilities.
Implement PCB schematic and layout best practices to support product performance and reliability.
Required Skills / Experience:
Proficiency with Altium Designer or similar PCB design software.
Ability to interpret complex electrical schematics.
Knowledge of PCB layout practices for RF, millimeter-wave, high-speed digital, mixed-signal, analog, and power applications.
Knowledge of PCB stackups, materials, controlled impedance, via structures, surface finishes, fabrication processes, and assembly methods.
Practical experience applying design-for-manufacturability, design-for-assembly, and design-for-test principles.
Knowledge of applicable IPC…
