Position Overview: We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced PCB Design Engineer to join our hardware engineering team in Malvern, PA. The ideal candidate will have 5 to 10 years of hands-on experience in RF, high-speed, and mixed-signal PCB design, with a strong understanding of signal integrity, controlled impedance, and design for manufacturability (DFM).

You will play a critical role in designing complex multilayer PCBs used in cutting-edge products, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams including electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing engineers.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design & develop RF, analog, & high-speed digital PCBs using industry-standard EDA tools (e.g., Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, Mentor Graphics).
• Work with electrical engineers to translate schematics into optimized PCB layouts, with emphasis on high density, RF performance and signal integrity.
• Perform advanced component placement, controlled impedance routing, and high-frequency design practices.
• Conduct thorough DRC/ERC checks and resolve layout and signal quality issues.
• Ensure compliance with EMI/EMC standards and best practices.
• Generate complete fabrication and assembly documentation (Gerbers, BOMs, pick-and-place files, etc.).
• Support prototyping, bring-up, debugging of RF boards using lab test equipment such as VNAs, spectrum analyzers, & oscilloscopes.
• Collaborate with suppliers and contract manufacturers during fabrication and production.
• Participate in design reviews and RF performance validation.
• Maintain PCB libraries and ensure RF component models and footprints are accurate.
• Contribute to improving design workflows and integrating best practices for RF and mixed-signal PCB design.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or related field.
• 5–10 years of experience in PCB layout and design, including RF and high-frequency circuits.
• Proficiency in PCB CAD tools such as Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, or OrCAD.
• Strong understanding of RF PCB layout techniques, including controlled impedance routing, via management, ground plane strategies, and isolation techniques.
• Experience with DFM/DFT, and knowledge of industry standards such as IPC-2221 and IPC-A-600.
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Ability to work independently and within cross-functional teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience designing RF/microwave PCBs in the 2.4 GHz to 30 GHz range.
• Experience with rigid-flex PCB design and high-density interconnects (HDI).
• Background in consumer electronics, aerospace/defense, telecom, or IoT products.
• Familiarity with MCAD/ECAD integration and mechanical constraints.
• Familiarity with regulatory compliance (FCC, CE) related to RF design.

Employment Type: Regular, Full-Time. Location: Morehead, KY. On-Site.
