## About the Role

* Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and minimum 5 years prior relevant experience or an Advanced Degree in a related field and minimum 3 years of experience
 * Experience with PCB layout using ECAD tools (Siemens Xpedition preferred; Cadence Allegro, Altium, or similar acceptable)
 * Experience designing multilayer PCB layouts and supporting complex electrical designs
 * Experience managing electrical and physical constraints within PCB design tools

Qualification We Prefer:

 * Experience with Siemens Xpedition (VX or 2504 versions) for complex PCB layout design
 * Experience with high-layer-count PCBs and high-speed digital interfaces
 * Familiarity with advanced PCB technologies (HDI, microvias, stacked microvias, flex circuits, backplanes)
 * Experience with DDR4 / DDR5 and high-speed design considerations
 * Knowledge of signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) principles
 * Experience with DFM/DFA/DFT implementation in PCB design
 * Familiarity with ECAD-MCAD data exchange processes
 * Experience working within PLM and configuration management systems
 * IPC CID / CID+ or PCEA certification preferred
 * Experience in aerospace, defense, or other highly regulated industries
 * Strong communication and ability to work across cross-functional engineering teams

## Description

* Own ECAD design execution for assigned scope, including planning, coordination, and delivery aligned to program schedules and engineering requirements
 * Perform hands-on ECAD design and layout for complex printed circuit card assemblies including multilayer rigid, flex, and high-density interconnect (HDI) designs
 * Support schematic capture and layout implementation while managing electrical and physical constraints (high-speed, high-voltage, high-current)
 * Communicate design status, technical risks, and schedule impacts with engineering stakeholders and program teams
 * Participate in and contribute to cross-functional design reviews with Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, and Configuration Management
 * Develop and maintain complete ECAD documentation packages (fabrication, assembly, and design documentation)
 * Manage ECAD data within PLM systems and ensure compliance with configuration management requirements
 * Incorporate DFM (Design for Manufacturability), DFA (Design for Assembly), and DFT (Design for Test) principles throughout the layout process
 * Troubleshoot complex design issues and resolve electrical, mechanical, and manufacturability challenges in collaboration with cross-functional teams
 * Provide technical guidance and informal mentorship to junior designers and support knowledge sharing across the ECAD team
 * Support adherence to ECAD standards, library usage, and best practices across programs
 * Responsibilities include making moderate improvements to ECAD processes, systems, and design practices to enhance performance, quality, and efficiency across the organization
 * Coordinate ECAD activities for small projects or defined work scopes
