Brief Description

For more than 50 years, our company has been designing and manufacturing security products that protect people, property, and businesses. Our long history is built on engineering expertise, quality craftsmanship, innovation, and a commitment to our customers. We’re looking for an experienced PCB Designer to join our Engineering team and play an important role in bringing electronic products from concept to production. If you enjoy turning schematics and engineering requirements into well-designed, manufacturable circuit boards—and take pride in getting the details right—this could be an excellent opportunity to make a meaningful impact. As a PCB Designer, you’ll work independently under the direction of the Engineering team to design and prepare printed circuit board layouts, fabrication and assembly drawings, and supporting documentation for electronic products. You’ll collaborate closely with Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing, PCB fabrication and assembly partners, and other internal teams to develop PCB designs that meet electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, reliability, and cost requirements.

What You’ll Do

• Uses PCB CAD software to design and prepare printed circuit board layouts based on electrical schematics and engineering requirements.
• Performs component placement and PCB routing while considering electrical performance, mechanical constraints, manufacturability, reliability, serviceability, and product cost.
• Creates, verifies, and maintains PCB footprints, schematic symbols, and related CAD library components in accordance with company standards.
• Configures and maintains PCB design rules and constraints appropriate for the design and manufacturing process.
• Works with PCB fabricators and engineering personnel to establish and maintain appropriate PCB layer stackups, materials, and fabrication requirements.
• Reviews PCB designs with Electrical Engineers and other members of the Engineering team and incorporates required changes.
• Reviews PCB designs for design‑for‑manufacturability and design‑for‑assembly considerations and recommends improvements where appropriate.
• Prepares PCB fabrication and assembly documentation, including manufacturing drawings, fabrication notes, drill information, and other required production documentation.
• Generates and verifies manufacturing outputs, including Gerber/ODB++ files, NC drill files, pick‑and‑place data, and other files required by PCB fabrication and assembly vendors.
• Works with PCB fabrication vendors and the internal assembly team to resolve manufacturing issues and improve PCB manufacturability.
• Participates in prototype and first‑article builds, investigates PCB‑related manufacturing issues, and incorporates approved design changes.
• Maintains accurate engineering documentation and revision control for PCB designs and associated documentation.
• Assists with the development and maintenance of PCB design standards, CAD libraries, templates, and design processes.
• Completes assigned PCB designs on schedule and with a high level of quality while satisfying electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, reliability, and cost requirements.
• Observes and adheres
