PCB Design Engineering

Position: PCB Design Engineer

Location: Irvine, California

Experience: 5+ years

Job Description:

• Advanced training in electronics with a minimum of 5 years' experience in an electronic design office.
• Strong expertise in electronic CAD tools and PCB layout, with proficiency in CADENCE/Allegro.
• In-depth knowledge of materials, technologies, and industrial processes used in PCB manufacturing and component packaging.
• Proven experience with high-speed interfaces including Ethernet (2.5G/5G/10G), PCIe, DDR, and other high-speed memory interfaces.
• Good understanding of DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and DFT (Design for Testability) principles in PCB design.
• Experience working in airborne environments, considering thermal, shock, EMI, and EMC constraints.
• Expertise in PCB design for low-pitch, high-density BGAs and SMD/BGA connectors.
• Strong knowledge of high-speed signal and power supply design considerations such as impedance control, length matching, and shielding.
• Familiarity with Product Data Package (PDP) contents, including data files, Bill of Materials (BOM), item lists, documentation, COTS, material and process items, and related components.
• Experience with stack-up design and constraint management tools.
• Awareness of thermal, mechanical, and EMC constraints in PCB and PCBA design.
• Experience collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, including electronics, mechanical, and system engineering groups.
• Experience in Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI) simulation is an added advantage.

Good to have:

• Individual contributor capable of owning and executing allocated responsibilities with minimal support.
• Working experience in Defense/Avionics/Aerospace systems design is desirable.
