Five (5) plus years of PCB layout experience, with a strong emphasis on RF and high-frequency designs. Knowledge of RF/microwave PCB design, including controlled impedance and high-frequency effects. Understanding of signal integrity, EMI/EMC, grounding, shielding, and RF materials. Proficiency in PCB layout tools (e.g., Altium, Cadence, PADS) and Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Outlook) for technical documentation and communication. Demonstrated experience with RF PCB design techniques, including impedance control, shielding, and grounding. Proficiency with PCB CAD tools such as Altium Designer or Cadence Allegro, or Mentor Graphics Pads. Understanding of fabrication processes, materials, and tolerances. Ability to optimize layouts for signal fidelity, manufacturability, and performance. Written and verbal communication, organizational, and time management skills. Problem-solving skills and ability to work both independently and in a team environment. Familiarity with IPC standard and high-reliability design practices. Must be able to work with ITAR data without a license. Ability to sit or stand for extended periods. Ability to lift, carry, push, or pull materials up to 50 pounds. Ability to bend, stoop, kneel, crouch, and reach as required. Manual dexterity to operate hand tools, machine controls, and measuring instruments. Employer conducts Background Check, and Drug Testing.

Job Responsibilities:

Design and develop single and multilayer PCB layouts for RF, mixed-signal, analog, and digital circuits utilizing industry best practices. Implement controlled impedance structures (microstrip, stripline, CPWG) and transmission line matching. Optimize component placement and routing for signal integrity, isolation, and minimal parasitics. Address RF-specific challenges such as grounding strategies, shielding, and coupling mitigation. Translate schematics into layouts that preserve phase noise, isolation, minimize spurs, address thermal issues and maintain signal fidelity. Work closely with other engineers to ensure layout supports filter response, oscillator stability, and low-noise performance. Apply best practices for minimizing EMI/EMC and crosstalk in dense RF environments Generate complete fabrication and assembly packages including: Gerber/ODB++ files, Drill files and stack-up definitions, Fabrication drawings and notes, Assembly drawings. Define PCB stack-ups including RF laminates (e.g., Rogers) and hybrid constructions. Understand dielectric properties, loss tangent, and their impact on RF performance. Collaborate with fabricators to ensure compliance with requirements, manufacturability, and cost targets. Support design reviews, including layout reviews and tolerance analysis. Work with manufacturing to prevent and resolve assembly issues related to pcb design. All other assigned duties.
