Senior Engineer - PCB Design

Overview

Design and develop artwork for Printed Circuit Boards to meet customer-specific technical, cost and market-related technology requirements. Often acts as Technical or Project Leader for projects and programs.

What you'll do

• Demonstrate the application of basic engineering tools and principles and evidence of creative thinking (PCB stack-up design, Bill of Materials, component placement according to design flow for ease of routing).
• Prepare layout, detailed drawings and schematics using computer-assisted engineering design software and ECAD tools.
• Plan, execute and close assigned activities.
• Confer with manufacturing, product teams, PCB fab vendors and suppliers to develop designs and resolve Design for Manufacturing, Design for Testing and Design for Assembly issues.
• Plan, organize and lead projects.
• Ensure all PCB design and review processes are understood and followed in every design.
• Prioritize effectively and act with speed and focus.
• Identify competencies and personnel needed to complete tasks.
• Perform typically as an individual contributor within the team.
• Identify opportunities for continuous improvement in the PCB design process, design cycle time and DPMO, and contribute to process improvements.
• Build strong relationships with stakeholders to define acceptable quality levels based on IPC standards, and continuously manage stakeholder expectations.
• Consistently achieve results, even under adverse circumstances such as minor changes in schematics and/or placement. For major changes in scope, communicate schedule impact effectively and openly.
• Make and keep commitments to deliverable release dates by holding self and others accountable.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's degree in Electronics, Electronics and Communication, or Electrical Engineering.
• Total relevant work experience: 10 to 12 years in PCB design.
• Hands-on experience with Mentor Xpedition tool (must have); equivalent PCB layout and schematic capture tools will be considered an advantage.
• Very strong high-speed and multilayer layout skills, including multilayer stack-up design, differential pairs, impedance control and matched delay.
• Sound knowledge of electrical and electronic components, surface mount and through hole.
• Sound knowledge of board fabrication, assembly and testing processes.
• Very good knowledge of IPC standards such as IPC-2221A, IPC-SM-782 and IPC-7351, and of UL and MIL standards.
• Hands-on experience creating and validating footprints, managing PCB libraries, preparing schematics and performing layout design.
• Good interpersonal, written and oral communication skills.

Nice to have

• Awareness of CIS/CIP database, thermal management and enclosure designs.
• CAM validation, checking and basic editing of Gerber data using CAM350.
• Good knowledge of PCB design guidelines for EMI/EMC aspects, with some exposure to hardware testing.
• Hands-on experience with high-speed board designs and signal integrity and power integrity analysis using Ansys or an equivalent tool.
• Automotive domain knowledge for high-power layout designs.
