• Associate degree, Bachelor of Science in Engineering/Technology, or equivalent practical experience
• 5+ years of professional experience in PCB Layout
• Familiarity with PCB fabrication processes and Design for Manufacturing (DFM) best practices
• Proficiency in IPC standards (CID and/or CID+ certifications are a plus)
• Proficiency in High-Speed Digital Protocols, including DDR4/DDR5 and PCIe (4/5) implementation
• Experience with Flex and Rigid-Flex design methodologies and best practices
• Strong ability to read and interpret schematics
• Solid understanding of basic electronics principles, theory, and signal integrity issues (reflections, crosstalk, coupling, etc.)
• High degree of self-initiative and ability to think and act independently
• A positive attitude and eagerness to learn
• Ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a collaborative team
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
