Printed Circuit Board Designer - Layout

Remote PCB Layout Designer

Job Description

The PCB Layout Designer is responsible for designing and laying out complex, multilayer digital and RF Circuit Card Assemblies (CCAs) using Altium Designer. The ideal candidate has experience with high-speed PCB design, signal integrity (SI), power integrity (PI), controlled impedance, and advanced interconnect technologies.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

• Design and document complex multilayer PCBs and circuit card assemblies.
• Develop schematics and PCB layouts using Altium Designer.
• Design high-speed circuits incorporating FPGAs, microprocessors, DDR3/DDR4/DDR5 memory, and PCIe interfaces.
• Perform high-speed routing, impedance tuning, crosstalk reduction, and SI/PI analysis.
• Develop optimized PCB stackups using low-loss materials and advanced fabrication techniques.
• Support prototype development, troubleshooting, testing, and design verification.
• Collaborate with engineering teams, suppliers, and manufacturing partners.
• Prepare design documentation and ensure compliance with electrical and manufacturing requirements.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field, with at least two years of relevant experience.
• Proficiency in Altium Designer and complex PCB layout.
• Experience with multilayer boards, high-speed digital signals, and controlled impedance.
• Knowledge of signal integrity, power integrity, and PCB stackup design.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with 10+ layer, low-loss PCBs and 10–25 Gbps differential signaling.
• Knowledge of FPGAs, DDR memory, PCIe Gen 3/4/5, and RF circuits.
• Experience with via back-drilling, press-fit connectors, and 3D interconnect analysis.
• Familiarity with switching and linear power supplies and PLM tools such as ARAS.
