• Own PCB placement, routing, review, and manufacturing release.
• Design multilayer RF, mixed-signal, high-speed digital, and power boards.
• Define stackups, controlled impedances, routing constraints, and via structures.
• Create and maintain Altium symbols, footprints, and component libraries.
• Generate fabrication and assembly documentation.
• Work with fabricators and contract manufacturers to resolve DFM and production issues.

Required Skills

• 3+ years of professional PCB layout experience.
• Strong proficiency with Altium Designer.
• Experience with RF and microwave layouts, including controlled-impedance transmission lines, matching networks, RF isolation, ground stitching, via fencing, and shielding.
• Understanding of grounding, return paths, signal integrity, EMI/EMC, and power distribution.
• Knowledge of PCB fabrication, SMT assembly, and DFM/DFA principles.
• Ability to read schematics, datasheets, and mechanical drawings.

Desired Skills

• Experience with FPGA or RFSoC systems, DDR memory, PCIe, Ethernet, JESD
  204, high-speed Ser Des, ADCs, DACs, PLLs, and precision clock distribution.
• Experience with HDI, microvias, via-in-pad, or back drilling.
• Experience with Ansys SIwave, Hyper Lynx, Sigrity, or similar PCB analysis tools.
• Experience with Altium 365, managed libraries, component lifecycle management, release workflows, and version control.
• Aerospace, defense, or other high-reliability electronics experience.
• Understanding of IPC Class 3 requirements.
