We are looking for a motivated PCB Designer with 1 to 3 years of hands-on layout experience to join our engineering team. In this role you will own board layouts from schematic to fabrication-ready output, working closely with our electrical engineers on innovative products across the industrial, consumer, medical, and defense sectors. This is a great spot for someone early in their career who wants to grow fast on real shipping hardware that spans high-speed digital, RF, analog, and mixed-signal designs. Responsibilities Create multilayer PCB layouts from schematic netlists, with controlled-impedance stackups and clean component placement that supports manufacturability and thermal performance. Work directly with electrical engineers to turn design requirements and constraints into manufacturable boards. Route high-speed digital interfaces (DDR, USB, Ethernet, PCIe, LVDS) with attention to length matching, differential pairs, return paths, and reference plane continuity. Apply good practice for RF and analog sections, including matched traces, grounding strategy, isolation, and low-noise power distribution. Handle BGA and fine-pitch fanout and escape routing, including FPGA and SoC packages. Generate and review complete fabrication and assembly documentation: Gerber or ODB++, drill files, fab drawings, assembly drawings, pick-and-place files, and bills of materials. Build and maintain library footprints and 3D models to IPC-7351, and keep design data and revisions well organized. Run DFM and DFA checks, coordinate with fab and assembly vendors, and resolve manufacturing feedback. Support signal integrity and power integrity reviews, and assist with bring-up and debug when boards come back. Required Qualifications US citizenship is required for this role. Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field. 1 to 3 years of professional PCB layout experience. Proficiency in a professional PCB CAD tool such as Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro/OrCAD, Siemens Xpedition/PADS, or KiCad. Working knowledge of IPC standards, including IPC-2221, IPC-2152, IPC-7351, and
