The Associate Design Engineer, PWB Design will work in the Actuation and Avionics Business Unit, designing complex printed wiring boards (PWBs) and circuit card assemblies (CCAs) for NASA, military, and commercial space applications. Designs may be multilayer, high density, high power, high voltage, or thermally challenging. Working within program teams, the engineer develops final drawings and data, including schematics, netlists, master pattern artwork, PWB and CCA layouts, bills of materials, 3D or solid models, and manufacturing data. Work is based on schematic and layout inputs and 3D models, and may be performed independently or with others. The role calls for foresight and creativity, collaboration across functions, and the ability to anticipate and solve unprecedented engineering problems.

Requirements

Bachelor of Science or Technology degree in Electrical Engineering or another relevant engineering discipline, or an associate degree in a technical major and at least 2 years of PWB layout design and drafting experience.
Working knowledge of engineering principles, documentation standards, and drafting practices, including spatial visualization.
Understanding of electronic circuits, electrical component properties, electronic packaging, and PWB and CCA materials.
Comprehensive knowledge of, and ability to design to, applicable IPC, space, military, and commercial standards and specifications.
Advanced experience and knowledge in schematic entry and PWB layout and routing.
Working knowledge of configuration management control of product design.

Nice To Haves
