Requirements

High School Diploma
4 years of related experience
In-depth knowledge of PCB design, design processes, fabrication technology.
Intimate familiarity with signal integrity practices and theories.
Must have experience in Siemens EDA (Mentor Graphics) PADS and Altium Designer software packages or experience in other schematic capture and layout tool(s) with ambition to learn.
Digital & analog PCB development.
Experience with incorporating engineering change orders.
Experience working with a broader team, capable of communicating across functional boundaries.
Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced and rapidly changing environment

Nice To Haves

Practical understanding of analog, high-speed digital circuit, and RF design (a plus) and/or PCB designs that practice these traits.

Responsibilities

Realize PCB designs of high component density and high layer count while balancing the competing needs of the electrical design (e.g. high speed signal routing, EMI / EMC, Signal Integrity) with those of the manufacturing standards (DFM and DFT)
Capture PCB design requirements from the development engineering team and schematic development Engineer
Participate in the estimation of PCB design efforts for scope of work and effort
Participate with fellow PCB designers in best practices for layout and simulation of high-speed signals as well as analog and power supply circuitry
Collaborate with Engineering and Manufacturing functions to ensure the highest quality PCB design developments
Place and route components ensuring all electrical and physical specifications meet the specific design requirements for each PCB design
Participate in design reviews, interface with electrical, mechanical, manufacturing and process engineers to design prototype and production quality printed circuit boards in accordance with CEC’s standards and procedures
Create fabrication and assembly drawings and parts lists and incorporate changes to existing design documentation
Generate all output files required for the manufacture of boards and assemblies
Create and modify/maintain both schematic drawings and PCB layouts
Suggest options when faced with challenging PCB design situations including resolution to non-standard problems.
Elicit layout technique best practices from senior design engineers and incorporate those best practices into the PCB Design Group (i.e., gather, document, train others)
Uphold the company’s core values of Integrity, Innovation, Accountability, and Teamwork
Demonstrate behavior consistent with the company’s Code of Ethics and Conduct
It is the responsibility of every employee to report to their manager or a member of senior management any quality problems or defects in order for corrective action to be implemented and to avoid recurrence of the problem.
