Job summary

L3Harris Leads a critical PCB design role focused on signal integrity and stackup optimization. You will own stackup definitions for rigid, rigid-flex, and multilayer boards, working with electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to meet performance, cost, and schedule targets.

The position emphasizes impedance control, impedance coupons, and collaboration with PCB fabricators to validate materials and tolerances for high-speed, RF, and power applications.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree and minimum of 9 years of related experience, or 7 years with a graduate degree.
• In lieu of a degree, minimum of 13 years of related experience.
• Experience with high-speed, RF, or mixed-signal PCB designs preferred.

Responsibilities

• Design and document rigid and flexible PCB stackups for high-speed and RF applications.
• Define controlled-impedance structures and via strategies.
• Translate SI/PI requirements into routing rules and layer guidance.
• Evaluate stackup tradeoffs for electrical performance, EMI, thermal needs, and manufacturability.
• Collaborate with fabricators to validate materials, tolerances, and production capability.
• Maintain stackup drawings, impedance tables, fabrication notes, and material specs.
• Support prototype and production issue resolution related to impedance and EMI.
