Contract Senior PCB Design Engineer - 6 month FTC

The role

A Senior PCB Design Engineer will own complex board designs for radar products and related hardware. The role involves translating schematics and constraints into high-performance multilayer PCBAs through the full product lifecycle.

What you will do

• Plan and drive assigned PCB designs from schematic review through production release
• Translate schematics and constraints into complex multilayer PCBAs
• Collaborate with Engineering and PCB fabricators on physical design requirements
• Apply signal integrity, power integrity, EMC, thermal, and DFM/DFA/DFT best practices
• Optimize designs for cost, quality, and manufacturability with cross-functional teams
• Support NPI, product revisions, and sustaining changes
• Create, review, and maintain component symbols, footprints, and 3D models
• Provide technical guidance to less experienced PCB designers
• Implement best practices in Schematic and Layout with RF and AMS teams

Required qualifications

• Proficiency with Altium Designer or similar PCB design software
• Ability to interpret complex 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, finishes, fabrication processes, and assembly methods
• Practical application of design for manufacturability, assembly, and test principles
• Knowledge of applicable IPC standards and controlled PCB fabrication, assembly, and release documentation requirements
• Ability to prioritize multiple assignments and communicate with cross-functional teams, fabricators, and contract manufacturers
• Bachelor's degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering Technology, a related technical field, or equivalent experience and 10 or more years of relevant PCB design experience, or an equivalent combin
• Eligibility to handle export-controlled technical data, including ITAR and EAR-controlled information

Nice to have

• Experience developing PCB designs for radar, aerospace, defense, RF, or other high-reliability electronic products
• Experience with high-density interconnect (HDI), high layer count, rigid-flex, flex circuit, or other advanced PCB technologies
• Experience with Arena or a similar product lifecycle management (PLM) system
• IPC CID, CID+, or other relevant PCB design certification

Benefits

• RSU (Restricted Stock Units)
• Fully-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance premiums
• Choice of PPO or HDHP/HSA
• Virtual Care – 98Point6
• Employee Assistance Program
• Mental Health coverage through Springhealth & Talkspace (Premera)
• Travel Assistance Insurance
• Company Paid Life Insurance
• Company Paid Short & Long Term Disability
• Flexible PTO (exempt) / 15 days per year (non-exempt)
• 401(k) match
• Pet Insurance

Before you apply

• Must identify whether you are a U.S. Citizen or green card holder, or have asylum/refugee status in the U.S. to evaluate eligibility for export-controlled information
