Minimum of 10 years' experience with primary hands-on demonstrated proficiency of Siemens PAD's (VX2.8 or later), Siemen's Xpedition (VX2.14 or later) and/or Cadence Allegro/OrCAD (17.4 or later) product experience is required.
Comprehensive understanding of electrical and mechanical engineering design practices related to printed circuit board electrical drafting and fabrication drawing creation experience is essential.
Necessary familiarities with electrical design utilizing IPC standards, IAW IPC-2221/3 and associated specs is critical.
Knowledge and methodology utilizing standard IPC Class III approach to design and manufacturing concerns is also necessary.
BS or related degree in engineering or a related discipline
Must comply with TTM Export Control Policies and Procedures and all applicable laws including ITAR, EAR and OFAC including but not limited to: a) being able to identify ITAR product on the manufacturing floor and understand that access to these products and related technical data is restricted to only US Citizens and US Permanent Residents; b) recognition of Foreign Person visitors by badge differentiation; c) understand and follow authorization procedures for bringing foreign visitors into facilities (VAL); d) understand the Export and ITAR requirements for shipments leaving the US; e) manage vendor approvals for ITAR manufacturing and services.

Nice To Haves

Related PCB design for the Aerospace and Defense sectors is preferred.
CID/CID++ Certification for PCB Designers highly recognized as professional validation of design, documentation, and manufacturability skills within the industry.
Solid oral communication and interfacing skills with technical and manufacturing personnel to resolve engineering tasks. Propose alternatives when faced with challenging PCB design situations including resolutions to non-standard problems.
Appropriate understanding of vendor component data sheets for creation of schematic library and/or PCB footprints expected.

Responsibilities

PCB concept sketches for assistance in design layout estimating
PCB design suggestions/trade-offs regarding initial engineering inputs
Support changes to existing schematic diagrams using TTM suite of tools: OrCAD and/or DxDesigner
Place and route components ensuring that all electrical and physical specifications meet the detailed design requirements for each PCB design. Utilization of Siemens Xpedition/PAD's and/or Cadence Allegro required
Participate in design reviews, interface with electrical, mechanical, manufacturing and process engineers to design proto-type and production printed circuit boards in accordance with TTM standards and quality procedures
Collaborate on assigned projects closely with Si (Signal Integrity) or various engineering disciplines, fellow designers and Program Leadership
Provide layout feedback to design engineers as needed to ensure functionality and manufacturability of PCB designs
Create fabrication and assembly drawings (AutoCAD 2023), parts list & incorporate changes to existing design documentation. Create and maintain component libraries
Generate all output files (ODB++, Bill of Materials & PCB/CCA documentation) required for the manufacture of the board and assembly
Maintain change (PCN) responsibilities on re-design and documentation updates
Product safety and EMI consideration during eCAD layout (UL, CSA, NEBS, Etc.)
Standardization of electrical components and eCAD libraries utilizing IPC or vendor specific standards
