Senior Design Engineer; Remote

Job Overview

Position: ECAD Design Engineer (Remote, U.S. Citizen)

Location:

Remote, United States

• Own ECAD design execution for assigned scope, including planning, coordination, and delivery aligned to program schedules and engineering requirements.
• Perform hands‑on ECAD design and layout for complex printed circuit card assemblies including multilayer rigid, flex, and high‑density interconnect (HDI) designs.
• Support schematic capture and layout implementation while managing electrical and physical constraints (high‑speed, high‑voltage, high‑current).
• Communicate design status, technical risks, and schedule impacts with engineering stakeholders and program teams.
• Participate in and contribute to cross‑functional design reviews with Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, and Configuration Management.
• Develop and maintain complete ECAD documentation packages (fabrication, assembly, and design documentation).
• Manage ECAD data within PLM systems and ensure compliance with configuration management requirements.
• Incorporate DFM, DFA, and DFT principles throughout the layout process.
• Troubleshoot complex design issues and resolve electrical, mechanical, and manufacturability challenges in collaboration with cross‑functional teams.
• Provide technical guidance and informal mentorship to junior designers and support knowledge sharing across the ECAD team.
• Support adherence to ECAD standards, library usage, and best practices across programs.
• Coordinate ECAD activities for small projects or defined work scopes.

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and minimum 5 years prior relevant experience or an Advanced Degree in a related field and minimum 3 years of experience.
• Experience with PCB layout using ECAD tools (Siemens Xpedition preferred; Cadence Allegro, Altium, or similar acceptable).
• Experience designing multilayer PCB layouts and supporting complex electrical designs.
• Experience managing electrical and physical constraints within PCB design tools.

• Experience with Siemens Xpedition (VX or 2504 versions) for complex PCB layout design.
• Experience with high-layer-count PCBs and high-speed digital interfaces.
• Familiarity with advanced PCB technologies (HDI, microvias, stacked microvias, flex circuits, backplanes).
• Experience with DDR4/DDR5 and high-speed design considerations.
• Knowledge of signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) principles.
• Experience with DFM/DFA/DFT implementation in PCB design.
• Familiarity with ECAD–MCAD data exchange processes.
• Experience working within PLM and configuration management systems.
• IPC CID/CID+ or PCEA certification preferred.
• Experience in aerospace, defense, or other highly regulated industries.
• Strong communication and ability to work across cross‑functional engineering teams.
