Description
We are looking for a PCB CAD Designer to support the development of reliable, manufacturable electronic products in Thorofare, New Jersey. This role focuses on translating early design inputs into complete board layouts and production documentation while partnering closely with electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing teams. The ideal candidate brings strong technical judgment, precision in layout execution, and the ability to balance performance, quality, and cost throughout the design process.
Responsibilities:
Create PCB layouts for new electronic products and accessory boards using schematics, bill of materials, and functional design inputs.
Develop high-speed, multilayer board designs for analog, digital, RF, and mixed-signal applications with careful attention to placement and routing strategy.
Produce fabrication deliverables, including Gerber packages, assembly drawings, and related manufacturing documentation needed for board build and test.
Build and maintain accurate component footprints and library records based on manufacturer documentation and internal design standards.
Coordinate with electrical and mechanical engineering teams to improve thermal behavior, electrical integrity, and enclosure fit.
Apply relevant industry and safety standards to board layouts to support compliance, quality, and manufacturability requirements.
Partner with suppliers and internal manufacturing stakeholders to refine material selections and reduce production costs where possible.
Support signal routing activities for both critical and non-critical nets, using manual and automated methods as appropriate.
Assist with board bring-up and troubleshooting efforts to identify layout-related issues and contribute to design corrections.
Requirements
Associate degree in Design Drafting Technology or comparable practical experience in PCB layout and design.
At least 5 years of experience designing dense PCB layouts for analog, digital, RF, and mixed-signal products.
Strong background in routing microprocessor-based boards that include devices such as FPGAs, power management components, and voltage regulators.
Proficiency with Siemens PCB layout and logic design software tools.
Solid understanding of PCB fabrication, assembly, testing, and documentation practices, including common design-for-manufacturing principles.
Familiarity with regulatory and environmental compliance considerations such as RoHS and related product standards.
Working knowledge of Microsoft Office and product lifecycle management systems; experience with Omnify is an advantage.
Strong communication, organization, and prioritization skills with the ability to manage multiple assignments independently.
