Job summary

L3Harris Technologies is seeking a Lead PCB Design - Signal Integrity/Stackup Specialist in Palm Bay, FL. You will own stackup definitions for rigid, rigid-flex, and multilayer PCBs, and partner with electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to meet SI/PI, EMI/EMC, and thermal goals.

You will define impedance plans, material specs, and via strategies, while collaborating with fabricators to validate tolerances and production capability.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree with 9+ years of relevant experience; graduate degree with 7+ years; or 13+ years without a degree.

Responsibilities

• Design rigid, rigid-flex, and multilayer PCB stackups for high-speed, mixed-signal, RF and power applications.
• Define controlled-impedance structures, dielectric materials, copper weights, layer assignments, and via strategies.
• Translate SI/PI requirements into practical routing rules, return-path planning, reference-plane strategy, grounding, shielding, and layer-transition guidance.
• Evaluate stackup tradeoffs across electrical performance, EMI/EMC, thermal needs, mechanical requirements, cost, and manufacturability.
• Collaborate with PCB fabricators to validate materials, impedance coupons, fabrication tolerances, bend-region constraints, and production capability.
• Maintain stackup drawings, impedance tables, fabrication notes, material specifications, and revision history.
• Support prototype and production issue resolution involving impedance, crosstalk, loss, resonance, warpage, or EMI.
