- Perform PCB layout using Altium Designer for digital, analog, RF, and mixed-signal designs.
- Design HDI and rigid-flex PCBs with high-speed routing, controlled impedance, and memory interfaces (DDR, LPDDR).
- Apply EMI/EMC mitigation, signal integrity best practices, and proper PCB stack-up strategies.
- Collaborate across engineering teams to optimize designs for thermal, mechanical, and manufacturability considerations.
- Implement DFM/DFA principles and coordinate with PCB fabrication and assembly vendors.
- Support RF design, including antenna layouts and impedance-controlled traces.
- Generate full fabrication and assembly documentation: Gerber/ODB++, fab drawings, notes, BOMs, and assembly files.
- Participate in design reviews and resolve layout-related issues efficiently.
Qualifications
- 3–7+ years of professional PCB layout experience.
- Expert-level proficiency in Altium Designer.
- Strong experience with HDI and rigid-flex PCB layouts.
- Familiarity with high-speed digital interfaces: PCIe, DDR, USB 3.x, Ethernet.
- Solid understanding of EMI/EMC design, impedance control, and RF layout practices.
- Experience working closely with PCB fabricators and assemblers under DFM/DFA constraints.
- Knowledge of PCB stack-up design, materials, and modern manufacturing processes.
- Strong collaboration and communication skills.
Preferred (Nice-to-Haves)
- Experience with IPC standards (e.g., IPC-2221/2223, IPC-6012).
- Familiarity with ECAD-MCAD integration or 3D PCB modeling tools.
- Experience designing to military or industrial standards.
