Position: Senior Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Designer

Own complex Printed Circuit Board (PCB) layout from engineering requirements through design release, including component placement, signal routing, power distribution, layer stack-up, controlled impedance, and high-density interconnect design. Partner closely with electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, and other engineering disciplines to translate schematics and system requirements into robust, manufacturable PCB designs. Develop and maintain PCB layouts using Electronic Computer-Aided Design (ECAD) tools such as Cadence Allegro, applying appropriate design constraints, routing practices, and library content throughout the design.

Perform and support PCB design reviews, including Design Rule Check (DRC) closure, stack-up and material review, mechanical clearance verification, controlled-impedance requirements, and documentation of design-specific requirements. Collaborate with PCB fabrication and assembly suppliers to address Design for Manufacturability (DFM) requirements, incorporate fabrication feedback, and produce complete manufacturing release packages. Improve PCB design methodologies, libraries, workflows, and automation to increase design quality, consistency, reuse, efficiency, and scalability across hardware-development programs.

Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field AND 5+ years technical engineering experience OR Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field AND 3+ years technical engineering experience OR equivalent experience. These requirements include, but are not limited to the following specialized security screenings:
Citizenship & Citizenship Verification:
This role will require access to information that is controlled for export under export control regulations, potentially under the U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) or Export Administration Regulations (EAR), the EU Dual Use Regulation, and/or other export control regulations. As a condition of employment, the successful candidate will be required to provide either proof of their country of citizenship or proof of their U.S. permanent residency or other protected status (e.g., under 8 U.S.C. § 1324b(a)(3)) for assessment of eligibility to access the export-controlled information.

To meet this legal requirement, and as a condition of employment, the successful candidate's citizenship will be verified with a valid passport. Lawful permanent residents, refugees, and asylees may verify status using other documents, where applicable. Ability to leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to drive innovation and efficiency, including engineering research, design analysis, documentation, workflow optimization, and day-to-day task automation.

Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field AND 8+ years technical engineering experience OR Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field AND 6+ years technical engineering experience OR equivalent experience. Experience using schematic and board layout tools to deliver complex, multi-layer PCB designs through fabrication and assembly release. Experience applying controlled-impedance, differential-pair, mixed-signal, grounding, and return-path constraints in PCB layouts.

Knowledge of PCB stack-ups, materials, via structures, component placement, mechanical constraints, and design for manufacturability. Experience collaborating across electrical, mechanical, systems, verification, and manufacturing disciplines through the hardware development lifecycle. Experience using Cadence ECAD tools such as Allegro PCB Designer Experience designing electronics for cryogenic, low-noise, radio-frequency, precision-measurement, or other demanding operating environments. Familiarity with quantum hardware, control or readout electronics, cryogenic electronics, or other advanced instrumentation systems.

Experience with signal-integrity or power-integrity analysis and incorporating simulation results into board revisions. Experience with design for manufacturing and design for test, rigid-flex construction, advanced laminates, microvias, or high-density interconnect technologies. Experience preparing fabrication and assembly documentation and collaborating with PCB fabrication and assembly suppliers. Experience maintaining shared ECAD component libraries and validating schematic symbols and PCB footprints for reuse across hardware designs.
