About The Position

Corvid Technologies is seeking an experienced PCB Designer to join their team and support a variety of programs. The role involves managing complex multi-layer routing, end-to-end component creation, and lifecycle management. The engineer will collaborate with technical groups, work closely with electrical engineers on schematics, and coordinate with suppliers for DFM, DFA, and DFT reviews. Responsibilities include establishing component and library standards, performing PCB routing for IPC Class 2 and Class 3 designs, generating fabrication and assembly packages, integrating 3D models for mechanical clearance checking, and developing schematic symbols and PCB footprints within the Altium environment.

Requirements

Candidate must be a US Citizen
Demonstrated experience with Altium Designer, including for ECAD layout and library tasking
Experience with impedance control and stack-up design is beneficial
Knowledge of signal integrity (SI) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) best practices are preferred
IPC-6011, IPC-6012, IPC-6013, IPC-2221, IPC-2222, IPC-2223, IPC-7351, J-STD-001 standards knowledge

Nice To Haves

CID (Certified Interconnect Designer) or CID+ certification is preferred
Component lifecycle management experience preferred
Altium CoDesigner preferred

Responsibilities

Perform multi-layer PCB routing on IPC Class 2 and Class 3 designs, including high-speed digital interfaces, sensitive analog signals, signal conditioning, power supply circuits, and fast high current dump loops in flex, rigid-flex, and rigid designs.
Prepare comprehensive fabrication and assembly packages (Gerber, ODB++, Drill files, Pick-and-Place, Fabrication, and Assembly drawings).
Integrate accurate STEP models for all components to ensure precise mechanical clearance checking. Altium CoDesigner preferred.
Coordinate with Mechanical Engineers to ensure PCB-to-Enclosure fitment.
Develop and maintain schematic symbols and high-density PCB footprints (IPC-7351 compliant) within the Altium environment.
Component lifecycle management experience preferred.
Work collaboratively with technical groups across the organization that require electronic hardware for their respective programs.
Work closely with electrical engineers to create/maintain hierarchical schematics.
Coordinate with suppliers (and engineers) to conduct DFM, DFA (Assembly), and DFT (Test) reviews ensuring higher yields and lower production costs.
Establish component and library standards, including naming conventions and layer assignments.
