L3Harris Technologies•Carlsbad, CA

32d•$91,500 - $170,500

About The Position

Design and create printed circuit board (PCB) layouts for circuit card assemblies (CCAs), using input and feedback from electrical and mechanical design engineers and manufacturing process engineers. Work includes placing components within a defined size envelope, routing metal traces, holding milestone reviews with stakeholders, and releasing PCB and CCA drawings. The role also develops fabrication and assembly documentation, updates designs and drawings in response to engineering changes, and creates ECAD library footprints and schematic symbols as needed.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree and at least 6 years of relevant experience; or a graduate degree and at least 4 years of related experience; or, in lieu of a degree, at least 10 years of related experience.

Nice To Haves

Multiple years of PCB design experience or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience in PCB design.
Competent skills and experience with ECAD software applications and related equipment.
Experience with Siemens (formerly Mentor Graphics) Xpedition software.
Knowledge and experience with PCB design technologies, PCB layout techniques, electrical schematics, and PCB fabrication and assembly drawings.
Practical knowledge of industry standards, including IPC design standards and design for manufacturability, and ASME/ANSI documentation standards.
Knowledge of relevant IPC standards, including IPC-2221, IPC-2222, IPC-6012, IPC-A-600, and IPC-A-610.
IT experience supporting backend management and maintenance of ECAD tools such as Siemens Xpedition and EDM.

Responsibilities

Place and route components while ensuring electrical and physical specifications meet each PCB design's requirements.
Ensure PCB designs meet manufacturing and assembly requirements.
Develop and generate drawings and documentation for PCB fabrication and assembly.
Rework PCB designs when engineering design changes occur and assist the design team in resolving issues.
Update drawings and documentation according to engineering change request instructions.
Create component ECAD library footprints and/or schematic symbols as required for design projects.
Hold milestone reviews with stakeholders and release PCB and CCA drawings.
