Secret clearance required or obtainable Role Summary We are seeking a PCB Design Engineer to support printed circuit board and circuit card assembly design for high-reliability aerospace and defense electronics. This role is responsible for PCB layout, schematic capture, component placement, routing, design documentation, and manufacturing release support for rigid, flex, and rigid-flex board designs.

Key Responsibilities
* Develop PCB and circuit card assembly designs from concept through manufacturing release.
* Create and maintain PCB layouts, CCA drawings, schematic drawings, and supplier documentation.
* Perform schematic capture, component placement, trace routing, and layout updates.
* Generate manufacturing outputs, including Gerber files, ODB++ data, and related release documentation.
* Support rigid, flex, and rigid-flex board design activities.
* Work on new designs, re-spins, drawing updates, change notices, copper changes, and design improvements.
* Use PCB design and documentation tools such as Siemens Xpedition, Blue Print-PCB, or similar platforms.
* Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, components, test, and producibility engineering teams.
* Ensure board designs meet performance, cost, manufacturability, cycle time, and producibility requirements.
* Support design reviews, documentation updates, and release activities throughout the PCB lifecycle.

Required Qualifications
* Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related STEM field.
* 5+ years of PCB design, layout, circuit card design, or hardware development experience.
* Experience with PCB, PWB, and CCA design principles.
* Hands-on experience with rigid, flex, or rigid-flex board layouts.
* Experience with schematic capture, component placement, routing, and design documentation.
* Familiarity with PCB manufacturing data, supplier documentation, and release processes.
* Understanding of manufacturability, producibility, and design-for-manufacturing considerations.
* U.S. Citizenship required.
* Ability to obtain and maintain a Secret security clearance.

Preferred Qualifications
* Active Secret clearance.
* Siemens Xpedition / Mentor Graphics experience.
* Blue Print-PCB documentation experience.
* Strong background in PCB layout, constraint management, routing, and library usage.
* Experience generating Gerber, ODB++, or other manufacturing release files.
* Familiarity with DFM, DRC, Valor NPI, or similar producibility tools.
* RF PCB layout experience.
* High-speed design layout experience.
* Experience with aerospace, defense, missile, avionics, or other high-reliability electronics.
* Experience supporting design reviews, board re-spins, engineering changes, or supplier documentation. #cj
