Key Responsibilities

• Develop PCB and circuit card assembly designs from concept through manufacturing release.
• Create and maintain PCB layouts, CCA drawings, schematic drawings, and supplier documentation.
• Perform schematic capture, component placement, trace routing, and layout updates.
• Generate manufacturing outputs, including Gerber files, ODB++ data, and related release documentation.
• Support rigid, flex, and rigid-flex board design activities.
• Work on new designs, re-spins, drawing updates, change notices, copper changes, and design improvements.
• Use PCB design and documentation tools such as Siemens Xpedition, BluePrint-PCB, or similar platforms.
• Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, components, test, and producibility engineering teams.
• Ensure board designs meet performance, cost, manufacturability, cycle time, and producibility requirements.
• Support design reviews, documentation updates, and release activities throughout the PCB lifecycle.

Preferred Qualifications

• Active Secret clearance.
• Siemens Xpedition / Mentor Graphics experience.
• BluePrint-PCB documentation experience.
• Strong background in PCB layout, constraint management, routing, and library usage.
• Experience generating Gerber, ODB++, or other manufacturing release files.
• Familiarity with DFM, DRC, Valor NPI, or similar producibility tools.
• RF PCB layout experience.
• High-speed design layout experience.
• Experience with aerospace, defense, missile, avionics, or other high-reliability electronics.
• Experience supporting design reviews, board re-spins, engineering changes, or supplier documentation.
