An Electrical Hardware Design Engineer position is currently available through Belcan, in Wilson, NC, at one of our key US defense clients. We are seeking an experienced ECAD PCB Layout Designer with strong hands‑on experience in Siemens Xpedition (7.9.6 or above).

The candidate must be capable of taking designs from initial placement through routing and final release with minimal supervision.

Key Responsibilities:

• Perform hands‑on PCB layout using Siemens Xpedition
• Execute full layout cycle: placement, routing, constraint management, and final release
• Work with engineering teams to implement high‑speed digital, RF, power, and mixed‑signal designs
• Apply and manage design constraints (impedance control, differential pairs, length matching, stackups)
• Generate fabrication outputs (Gerber/ODB++, drawings, documentation)
• Conduct and support layout design reviews
• Resolve layout‑related issues and drive design to completion

Required Qualifications:

• 5+ years of hands‑on PCB layout experience (not just support or review)
• Strong proficiency in Siemens Xpedition AND Altium (Placement, Routing, Constraint Manager)
• Proven experience completing full board layouts independently
• Experience with one or more:
  • Power supply / high‑current layouts
  • Rigid‑flex designs
  • Strong understanding of DFM, signal integrity, and power integrity fundamentals

Compensation:
