* ** YOUR CHALLENGE
*** Lead the end-to-end design, layout, and documentation of complex HDI PCBs, ensuring optimal performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
* Architect PCB design strategies—define stack-ups, component placement, and routing methodologies in alignment with mechanical, hardware, and signal integrity requirements.
* Serve as the technical expert for PCB design practices, establishing and maintaining design standards, methodologies, and best practices.
* Collaborate cross-functionally with electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing engineering teams to solve advanced technical and design challenges.
* Partner with PCB fabrication and assembly vendors to optimize DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and DFT (Design for Test) processes, ensuring scalability and cost efficiency.
* Conduct design reviews and provide technical leadership in evaluating and validating design intent, manufacturability, and reliability.
* Drive innovation and continuous improvement in design tools, automation, and workflow processes to enhance productivity and quality.
* Oversee, mentor, and provide guidance to fellow PCB designers, fostering technical growth and adherence to design excellence.
* Contribute strategically to product and system-level design decisions, balancing performance, cost, and manufacturability.
** WHAT YOU BRING
*** Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent technical discipline.
* 8+ years of progressive experience in leading PCB design, including multi-layer boards, mixed-signal layouts, high-speed digital, RF, power, BGA’s, trace length matching, differential pairs, high speed routing and impedance-controlled designs.
* Deep knowledge of IPC standards, advanced stackup design, impedance control and signal/power integrity best practices.
* Expert-level proficiency with PCB design tools preferably CADSTAR/eCADSTAR or similar, plus working knowledge of schematic capture and ECAD-MCAD collaboration
* Proven experience in DFM/DFT principles, PCB fabrication processes, and emerging technologies.
* Demonstrated leadership in setting and enforcing design standards, guidelines, and best practices.
* Experience with scripting, automation, and workflow optimization within design environments.
* Attention to detail while creating PCB footprints in CAD libraries
* Strong understanding of manufacturing and assembly processes.
* Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to make critical technical trade-offs.
* Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence across engineering, manufacturing, and vendor partners.
