The Printed Circuit Board Designer creates moderate to highly complex PCB layouts using inputs from the electronic schematic designers and other members of engineering.
The PCB Designer plays a critical role in the development of designs for new or modified high-density printed circuit boards and assists in the design and development of moderately complex and detailed layouts of printed circuit boards.Job Description:

Duties/Responsibilities

• Assists electrical engineers with the design and layout of electronic hardware, primarily printed circuit boards (PCBs), and is able to interpret and understand all basic design requirements.

• Implements moderate to highly complex PCB designs.

• Interprets and understands electrical and mechanical design requirements.

• Works independently with moderate to minimal oversight from senior technical personnel.

• Demonstrates knowledge of industry best practices for schematic capture and PCB designs.

• Experience with rigid, flex and rigid-flex design and design requirements.

• Familiarity with industry and military standards related to the design of printed circuit boards.

• Demonstrates proficiency when using design tools.

• Demonstrates proficiency in the implementation of design techniques such as differential pairs, length matching, impedance control, blind & buried vias, and break out of high density, fine pitch components.

• Demonstrates proficiency with electrical constraint definition including power distribution, controlled impedance (single end and differential pair), length matching, timing and other electrical constraints.

• Demonstrates knowledge of design considerations affecting signal integrity performance.

• Demonstrates proficiency with mechanical constraint definition including height restrictions, keep out areas, slots and cut outs, and other mechanical constraints.

• Collaborates with Design for Manufacturing engineers to define and implement fabrication criteria ensuring manufacturability.

• Familiarity with design requirements affecting manufacturability.

• Familiarity with design requirements necessary to meet specific IPC classes.

• Demonstrates ability to efficiently execute project tasks and drive a layout to completion.

• Regularly works with multiple senior technical staff members on design projects.

• Effectively communicates project status and issues to management and members of the project team in oral or written form as requested for the project.

• Accept inputs from multiple members of the project team and acts on them appropriately.

• Identifies design issues and brings these issues to the attention of project team.

• Requests management assistance when conflicting information is provided by team members.

• Follow established processes and work instructions.

• Supports generation of design documentation.

Required Qualifications:

• Demonstrated PCB layout knowledge and skills.

• Demonstrated ability to collect, organize and capture design details in a fast paced, dynamic environment.

• Demonstrated ability to support multiple projects, in parallel.

• Demonstrated good oral and written communication skills.

• Ability to work onsite

Preferred Qualifications:

• Formal education in electronics or electrical circuit theory.

• IPC certification.

• Experience with Siemens Xpedition Enterprise design flow (Xpedition Designer & Xpedition Layout).

• Experience with Siemens Xpedition EDM Library and Design.

• Complementary domain knowledge or experience such as PCB assembly, PCB fabrication, hardware assembly, or hardware test.

• Working knowledge of AutoCAD (2D), CAM350, Draftsight, or similar.

• Familiarity with SolidWorks or Creo.

Applicants selected for this position will be required to obtain and maintain a US government security clearance.

This role can also be located at our Clearfield, Utah and St. Petersburg, FL offices.
