  • Create and modify engineering tool project templates, meta-data, configuration data, and rules.
• Technical Expertise & Problem Solving:
  • Apply a solid understanding of electrical engineering principles, particularly for power distribution, high-speed circuits, and RF signals.
  • Identify project execution risks or slowdowns proactively and collaborate with managers and/or technical program managers to propose alternative PCB development workflow solutions.
  • Understand and propose practical fit and function solutions related to miniaturization concepts.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration & Supplier Engagement:
  • Proactively partner with EE Leads, Mechanical Engineering, TPMs, and other cross-functional teams (XFNs) to resolve design issues.
  • Work with internal DFM engineers to confirm supplier requirements at project launch.
  • Engage with external suppliers and Supplier Quality/Process Engineering (SQE/PE) to resolve DFM issues and ensure high-yield builds.

• 8+ years of experience in complex PCB Design.
• 5+ years of experience using Allegro PCB Design Tools (version 23.1 or newer).
• Strong understanding of the mechanical aspects of electronics design.
• Excellent communication skills.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office tools.

• BS in Electrical Engineering.
• 3+ years of experience implementing miniaturization solutions in dense form-factor designs (e.g., wearable products, mobile phone design).
