Position Responsibilities:

• Design and develop printed circuit boards (PCBs) for electronic products, ensuring compliance with industry standards and specifications

• Work closely with internal Client and external customers to gather and define design requirements, ensuring that their needs and expectations are met throughout the design process

• Specify the stack-up dimensions and the desired electrical characteristics of the circuit board, part selection, design tradeoff analysis, and the final assembly of the Printed Wiring Assembly (PWA)

• Collaborate with program management to develop project schedules, estimates, and resource allocation for PCB design projects

• Utilize PCB design software (e.g., Siemens Xpedition) to create schematics and perform analysis of layouts

• Collaborate with hardware engineers to define design requirements and specifications

• Perform design reviews and provide constructive feedback to improve PCB designs

• Conduct signal integrity analysis and thermal analysis (Siemens Hyperlynx) to ensure optimal performance of PCB designs

• Work with manufacturing teams to ensure designs are manufacturable and cost-effective

• Create and maintain detailed documentation for PCB designs, including design files, assembly instructions, and test plans

• Support prototype assembly and testing, troubleshooting any issues that arise during the process

• Stay updated on industry trends, tools, and technologies related to PCB design and manufacturing

• Support sustaining engineering efforts on existing Client PCB and system-level products

Required Skills:
