Responsibilities

Perform PCB layout including: definition of PCBA dimensions based on system design constraints, circuit block arrangement (floor-planning), power and ground plane creation, component placement, and routing of signal nets to minimize cost and maximize design for manufacturability, reliability, thermal management, and test (DFx).
Cultivate our component library including creation of component footprints, generation of schematic symbols, 3D models and entry of new parts in the Electronics CAD (ECAD) library.
Create & modify both general as well as project specific Design Rules and resolve DRC errors.
Independently gain full understanding of the schematic and system to define all layout requirements.
Proactively & closely work with electrical and mechanical engineers to deliver tightly packaged PCB designs that integrate into the final products.
Manage your own layout requests, scheduling, and planning, and communicate with the team to resolve conflicts.
Apply a manufacturing mindset to designs to effectively and efficiently mass produce products.
Present PCB designs for Technical Review in compliance with Milwaukee Design Processes.
Build PCB document packages used by manufacturing including assembly drawings, 3D PCBA model files, and Gerber files.
Work closely with Electrical and Mechanical Engineers to achieve excellence in System Design and Quality.
Participate in the continuous improvement of PCBA development processes and tools.
