Job description

THE COOL THINGS YOU WILL BE DOING WITH YOUR TALENTS

You will be part of a dynamic team to research and develop next generation dimensional metrology solutions to reach sub-micron levels of precision and beyond. You will work in a team focused on improvements to current products or developing new products from the ground up. Your efforts will directly contribute to solutions that allow Mitutoyo's customers to maintain high quality for the products that they manufacture.

In this role, you will spend approximately 75% of your time laying out complex printed circuit boards (PCBs) for concept prototypes, engineering prototypes, and test systems. You will work on boards incorporating cutting-edge sensors, our own custom integrated circuits, FPGAs, microprocessors, and precision analog and digital circuitry. You will take PCB layouts from schematic handoff through fabrication and assembly release, working closely with electrical and mechanical teams and with our PCB fabrication and assembly suppliers.

The remaining 25% of your time will primarily involve prototype development, testing and troubleshooting, and improvements to our PCB design and lab processes. You will collaborate with talented engineers and specialists both here and abroad, work on challenging technology, and have opportunities to expand your technical skills.

WHAT YOU NEED TO SUCCEED

We are looking for an experienced PCB layout designer with five or more years of professional PCB layout experience who enjoy solving challenging technical problems and going deep into the details. You should be comfortable laying out complex boards with tight mechanical constraints and understand PCB fabrication, assembly, signal integrity, grounding, controlled impedance, and routing constraints.

You should be proactive, detail-oriented, and comfortable working both independently and as part of a cross-functional engineering team. The ability to communicate technical concepts simply and clearly is important. A working knowledge of analog and digital electronics is important for this role. Experience with rigid-flex or flex circuits and broader electronics and prototype-development experience, will give you an edge.

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

The hourly wage range is$40.87-$57.70 per hour. The successful candidate’s hourly wage will be determined based on job-related experience/ knowledge/ skills, education, and complexity and responsibility of the role. Benefits include 100% paid medical, dental, vision insurance (75% for dependents), 100% paid life and disability insurance, 6% matching 401k, 15 vacation days, 12 paid holidays, 10 paid sick days per year, and eligibility for performance based annual bonus.
