L3Harris Technologies•Palm Bay, FL

2d•$79,500 - $147,000

About The Position

L3Harris seeks a PCB Designer to support the design and release of rigid, rigid-flex, and multilayer printed circuit boards. The role works with electrical, RF, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to apply defined stackup, signal-integrity, and fabrication requirements and produce accurate, manufacturable layouts. The position collaborates with electrical and mechanical engineers and manufacturing teams to deliver reliable designs that meet performance and cost objectives. The role creates PCB layouts from electrical schematics and design requirements using Siemens Xpedition Layout, and develops fabrication and assembly documentation, including drawings, stackups, and design notes. It also performs design rule checks, manages constraints, participates in design reviews, and coordinates PCB integration into system enclosures and assemblies. The work supports component placement, routing, and signal-integrity needs across digital, power, analog, RF, and mixed-signal designs.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree and a minimum of 4 years of prior relevant experience; or a graduate degree and a minimum of 2 years of prior related experience; or, in lieu of a degree, a minimum of 8 years of prior related experience.
