PCB Design Engineer
About The Position
We are seeking a Senior PCB Design Engineer to join the product development team in Fairport, New York. The engineer will work with hardware, firmware, RF, and mechanical engineers to turn ideas into manufacturable products, influencing products from concept through production and delivery to customers worldwide. The role focuses on complex PCB layout, performance optimization, and manufacturability. The position involves designing digital, mixed-signal, power, RF, and wireless PCBs; developing and maintaining schematics and component libraries; defining board stack-ups; and supporting signal integrity and compliance needs. The engineer will also work with fabricators and assembly suppliers, troubleshoot production issues, and contribute to design standards and engineering process improvements, including collaboration with global engineering teams.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, or a related field.
- At least 5 years of PCB design experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
- Experience designing multi-layer PCBs for production environments.
- Strong understanding of schematic capture and PCB layout methodologies.
- Ability to manage multiple design activities with limited supervision.
- Strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
- Demonstrated ownership and accountability for project deliverables.
Nice To Haves
- Experience with Siemens Xpedition, Mentor Graphics PADS, DxDesigner, and/or Altium Designer.
- Experience with controlled impedance, matched-length routing, differential pairs, and DDR designs.
- Understanding of PCB manufacturing, assembly, DFM, and DFA requirements.
