You'll collaborate with a talented cross-functional team, using leading-edge tools to solve intricate design challenges and see your work materialize into cutting-edge technology.
You will:
- Utilize mentor pads software as your primary tool to integrate schematic, mechanical, and manufacturing requirements into elegant PCB layouts.
- Partner closely with electrical and mechanical engineers to resolve design for fabrication, assembly, and test (DFx) issues, leveraging valor NPI checks.
- Own the design package integrity, ensuring perfect alignment between schematics, BOMs, mechanical drawings, and the final layout.
- Maintain meticulous documentation and PLM file structure, updating all design files to reflect engineering changes and revisions.
You bring:
- A bachelor's degree with 4+ years of relevant PCB layout experience, or a graduate degree with 2+ years, or 8+ years of direct experience in lieu of a degree.
- Proficiency with PCB design software; direct experience with mentor pads is highly valued, and experience with tools like xpedition, cadence, or valor is a strong plus.
