Hardware Design Engineer

We are seeking a PCB Design Engineer to take boards from schematic through layout and release for RF or power supply products. You will work closely with hardware, RF, and power engineers to turn designs into manufacturable, high-performance boards, and you will own layout quality from first prototype through production.

What you will do

Create schematics and multilayer PCB layouts in Altium Designer

Develop and maintain component libraries, footprints, and design rules

Lay out boards for either RF/microwave or power conversion applications, with attention to signal integrity, grounding, thermal performance, and EMI

Define layer stackups and work with fabrication and assembly vendors on materials, tolerances, and process requirements

Apply DFM, DFA, and DFT practices to reduce respins and speed the path to production

Generate fabrication and assembly outputs, including Gerbers, drill files, BOMs, and assembly drawings

Support board bring-up, debug, and design revisions alongside the engineering team

Review layouts with engineers and incorporate feedback and test results

Required qualifications

3 to 5 years of professional PCB design experience

Hands-on proficiency in Altium Designer (required)

Direct layout experience in at least one of the following:

RF/microwave: controlled impedance, transmission lines, RF isolation and shielding, high-frequency materials, and matching network placement

Power supplies: high-current routing, switching converter layout (flyback, forward, LLC, buck/boost), thermal management, creepage and clearance, and noise-sensitive grounding

Working knowledge of IPC standards and PCB fabrication and assembly processes

Ability to read schematics and collaborate effectively with design engineers

Preferred qualifications

Experience with both RF and power designs

Familiarity with high-speed or mixed-signal layout

Exposure to EMC, safety, and regulatory considerations in layout

Experience supporting prototypes in the lab, including debug and rework

Background in defense, telecom, server, or industrial electronics
