$80,000 - $100,000 Manufacturing About This Role PCB Layout Designer Cleveland, Ohio (On-site) $80,000 - $100,000 + Bonus + Comprehensive Benefits About the Opportunity Our client is a nationally recognized product innovation and engineering firm that has spent decades partnering with Fortune 1000 companies, emerging startups, and nonprofit organizations to bring breakthrough products to market. Their multidisciplinary teams develop cutting-edge consumer products, medical devices, connected technologies, and advanced manufacturing solutions. Known for their collaborative, under-one-roof development model, they combine industrial design, engineering, prototyping, and commercialization to rapidly transform ideas into successful products. Their track record includes thousands of patents and an exceptional history of bringing innovative products from concept to market. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is passionate about PCB layout and wants to see their work become real-world, commercialized products rather than remaining as concepts. The Role As a PCB Layout Designer, you'll be responsible for translating electrical schematics into high-performance, manufacturable PCB layouts across a diverse range of products and industries. Working in a fast-paced product development environment, you'll collaborate closely with electrical engineers and cross-functional teams to optimize designs for signal integrity, manufacturability, thermal performance, and overall product reliability. This is a hands-on role designed for someone who views PCB layout as their long-term technical specialty—not as a stepping stone into electrical engineering. Responsibilities Convert electrical schematics into optimized PCB layouts for production Manage multiple projects simultaneously with varying timelines Collaborate with electrical engineers, cross-functional teams, and external stakeholders Design boards with consideration for: Signal integrity EMI/EMC compliance Thermal performance Manufacturability (DFM/DFA) Support products throughout the development lifecycle from concept through production Quickly iterate designs in a dynamic engineering environment Qualifications Experience 5-15+ years of PCB layout/design experience (10+ years preferred) Experience within product development, engineering consulting, or design services environments is highly preferred Background in medical devices, IoT, consumer electronics, or related industries is a plus Independent consulting experience is also valued Software Experience with one or more of the following: Altium Designer (preferred) Siemens Expedition PADS Technical Skills High-speed PCB design Mixed-signal layouts (analog, digital, RF) Signal integrity principles EMI/EMC design considerations Thermal management Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) The Ideal Candidate Takes pride in producing clean, high-quality PCB layouts Thrives in a fast-paced, multi-project environment Communicates effectively with engineers and technical teams Highly detail-oriented and organized Passionate about PCB layout as a long-term technical career What This Role Is Not A transition path into electrical engineering or schematic design A slow-paced, single-project environment A role with limited visibility into the finished product Low-volume or repetitive maintenance work Why This Opportunity Stands Out Work on a diverse portfolio of innovative products across multiple industries See your designs become commercially released products Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering and product development teams Gain exposure to the complete product development lifecycle Join a highly respected innovation-focused organization known for bringing products from concept to commercialization quickly and successfully Interested in this role?
