A global leader in rugged embedded computing solutions serving defense, aerospace, and industrial markets is seeking a PCB Design Engineer to develop complex, high-speed printed circuit boards for next-generation embedded computing platforms used in the harshest operating environments. This role offers the chance to work on cutting-edge hardware alongside a collaborative team of engineers focused on technical excellence and continuous innovation.
Whatyou'll do
- Design sophisticated multilayer printed circuit boards supporting advanced embedded computing platforms for aerospace, defense, and industrial applications
- Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, systems, and test engineers to transform hardware concepts into manufacturable, high-performance PCB layouts
- Optimize designs for signal integrity, power integrity, manufacturability, and overall product reliability
- Participate across the full product development lifecycle, from architecture discussions and PCB layout through fabrication support, design reviews, and production
- Translate electrical schematics into manufacturable PCB layouts in close coordination with hardware engineers
- Create fabrication, assembly, and manufacturing documentation
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, or related discipline, or equivalent industry experience
- Expertise designing complex high-density multilayer PCBs for aerospace, defense, networking, telecommunications, embedded computing, automotive, or other high-performance electronic products
- 2+ years of professional PCB layout experience using enterprise-class PCB design tools, with Mentor Xpedition strongly preferred
- Extensive experience with Mentor Xpedition Layout, DxDesigner, and associated design libraries and constraint management tools
- Proven experience translating electrical schematics into manufacturable PCB layouts while collaborating closely with hardware engineers
- Strong background designing high-speed digital PCBs utilizing technologies such as DDR4 / DDR5, GDDR, PCI Express Gen4/Gen5, Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed Ethernet, controlled impedance routing, and differential pair routing
- Experience designing dense multilayer boards (typically 14–24+ layers, or equivalent complexity)
- Strong knowledge of HDI PCB technologies, including blind/buried vias, via-in-pad, sequential lamination, microvias, and advanced stack-up construction
- Hands-on experience with BGA, fine-pitch BGA, QFN packages, high-pin-count FPGA layouts, surface-mount and through-hole technologies, and rigid and rigid-flex PCB designs
- Strong understanding of Signal Integrity (SI), Power Integrity (PI), PCB fabrication and assembly processes, DFM, DFA, and DFT principles
- Experience creating fabrication, assembly, and manufacturing documentation
- Full-time, on-site role in Huntsville, AL
- Minimal travel required
- Must be a U.S. Citizen or Green Card holder (no visa sponsorship)
- Experience migrating or translating PCB designs from platforms such as Altium, Cadence Allegro, PADS, Zuken, or PCAD into Xpedition
- Experience supporting engineering libraries, design rule development, ECO management, and PCB design process improvements
- Experience with RF, analog, mixed-signal, and FPGA-based PCB layouts
- Familiarity with impedance-controlled RF structures, antenna layouts, clock distribution, and high-speed memory interfaces
- Experience designing products for aerospace, defense, space, radar, communications, embedded computing, or other mission-critical applications
- Working knowledge of IPC standards, military specifications, and high-reliability PCB design practices
- Experience mentoring PCB designers or establishing PCB design methodologies and best practices
- Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to optimize complex routing challenges while balancing electrical performance, manufacturability, and cost
- Demonstrated ability to leverage AI-assisted engineering tools to improve productivity while validating engineering accuracy
- Salary range: $100,000 - $140,000 (negotiable for superstar candidate)
- Annual performance incentives
- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance
- 401(k) retirement plan with company contribution
- Generous Paid Time Off and paid holidays
- Career development and technical training opportunities
