About The Position

Embark on a journey with QDSS at the forefront of technological innovation as we seek talented Engineers to shape the future of cutting-edge projects and contribute to a culture of excellence and creativity. What we do matters. We’re hiring a PCB Design Engineer to develop high-reliability circuit card assemblies (CCAs) and printed circuit boards (PCBs) for advanced aerospace and defense systems. In this role, you’ll work closely with cross-functional engineering teams to take designs from schematic capture through layout, routing, and manufacturing release. You’ll play a key role in delivering complex rigid, flex, and rigid-flex PCB designs, making this an ideal opportunity for engineers who enjoy hands-on layout work, solving signal and manufacturability challenges, and working on mission-critical hardware.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related STEM field
5+ years of experience in PCB design, layout, or hardware development
Experience with PCB/CCA design and manufacturing principles
Hands-on experience with layout of rigid, flex, or rigid-flex boards
Active Secret security clearance (U.S. Citizenship required)

Nice To Haves

Experience with Siemens Xpedition (Mentor Graphics) tool suite
Experience with BluePrint-PCB for documentation
Strong skills in schematic capture, routing, constraint management, and libraries
Experience with Gerber/ODB++ outputs and manufacturing release processes
Familiarity with DFM tools (Valor NPI, DRC tools)
Experience with RF PCB layout and high-speed design considerations
Background in aerospace, defense, or high-reliability electronics

Responsibilities

Design and develop PCB layouts and circuit card assemblies (CCAs) from concept through manufacturing
Perform schematic capture, component placement, routing, and constraint management
Generate manufacturing outputs (Gerber, ODB++) and detailed PCB documentation
Design rigid, flex, and rigid-flex boards for high-reliability applications
Use tools such as Siemens Xpedition and BluePrint-PCB
Support design updates, re-spins, ECOs, and process improvements
Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, test, and manufacturing teams to ensure design for manufacturability (DFM)
Apply design rules, signal integrity considerations, and production requirements
